Wish they would have let AJ Hawk walk instead of this guy.

I know some Packer fans grew weary of his samurai sword celebrations but I like the emotion and fire he plays with. Wish we could have saw what him and Bishop could have done as a tandem but we will never know.

Good Luck Nick “Beats”

Dave Wannstedt has this D ready to go already.

Those are pro bowl numbers my friends and he stayed healthy. One teams casualty my teams gain baby. Nick is a stud and should put up great numbers again and if we can handle success this year Nick and the rest of his team mates will be in the post season where he can really make a statement. Go Bills.

In the nickel package he will play in the middle. Guy still has a lot left in the tank!

The Packers had the worst defense in NFL history last year. Think about that. It really is a historic franchise.

Here’s what’s historic … the 15-1 Packers lost to the world champ Giants. You know, nothing to be ashamed of and no one cared.

No one cared? It used to be Packer fans would crow about all their world championships. Now it’s just the regular season that matters.

By the way, if the 15-1 Packers could have beaten a 9-7 team at home, the Giants wouldn’t have been world champions.

Nick still has a lot left in the tank too.

He wasn’t playing good enough to give a large raise to. Happy to see he is still playing well though.

And that 15-1 record last year with that awful defense…and coming off a Super Bowl win. Think about that. It really is a historic franchise.

That’s right! It was the first team in NFL history to go 15-1 and not win a playoff game!

___

They gave up the most yards of any defense in history. Not an accurate measurement of a defense. Teams pass for a lot of yards when they’re in catch-up mode. (See: Cam Newton.) Not saying Green Bay’s D was good, but it was just average in 2011.

Maybe if he had been motivated to not lose his job he’d still be in GB instead of Bishop or Hawk.

It is a historic Franchise I mean two of the most storied franchises squaring off in the Super Bowl and the Packers kicked the Steelers butts. They couldn’t do anything until the Packer’s defensive starters started going down LOL.

I wish him the best of luck in Buffalo

Meanwhile, they spanked your stupid Steelers and left you crying in your beer. The Steelers have been around almost as long as the Packers, right? Okay …

Packers – 13 world titles
Steelers – 6 world titles

You let us know when you’ve caught up. What was the Pittsburgh headline again? Seven Can Wait, LOL.

Hopefully he can show the kid how to be a pro and a leader. I think this D has the potential to be strong with the D line freeing up the LBs to make plays so that our young corners don’t have to cover for too long. Everyone is talking about the D line but I think Sheppard will be the breakout player on the D this year

But the defensive struggles are due to these two guys: Nick Collins & Cullen Jenkins.

You can’t just replace the 3rd or 4th best safety in the league.
