The Green Bay Packers defense has been a massive disappointment over the past few seasons. Despite their constant investment of first round picks on the defensive side of the ball, defensive coordinator Joe Barry has failed to produce a top-ten defense. Last season, Green Bay’s defense finished: 17th in points allowed 17th in total yards allowed 28th in yards allowed per play 21st in turnover created 6th in passing yards allowed 12th in passing touchdowns allowed 24th in passing yards allowed per attempt 26th in rushing yards allowed 23rd in rushing touchdowns allowed 28th in rushing yards allowed per attempt…

The Milwaukee Bucks made the decision to fire head coach Mike Budenholzer after five seasons. During his tenure as head coach, Milwaukee won the 2021 NBA Championship, finished with the top seed in the Eastern Conference three times, and saw expectations rise to a never-before-seen level for many Bucks fans. Unfortunately, his tenure was also marred by premature Playoffs exits, the latest coming at the hands of the eighth seed Miami Heat. Earlier today, Coach Budenholzer took to social media to pen an emotional farewell letter to the city of Milwaukee and the Bucks organization. Former Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach…

The Green Bay Packers selected edge rusher Lukas Van Ness out of Iowa with the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft. This continued general manager Brian Gutekunst’s trend of drafting a defensive player in the first round. In fact, the only time that the Packers, under Gutekunst, did not take a defensive player in the first round was when they drafted Jordan Love in 2020.

Aaron Rodgers was traded by the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets in a deal that was months in the making. In return for Rodgers, the 15th overall pick, and a fifth round pick, Green Bay received the 13th overall pick, a second round pick, a sixth round pick, and a conditional second round pick in 2024 that will become a first round selection if Rodgers plays 65% of the offensive snaps for the Jets this season. For weeks, fans around the NFL wondered how the ball got rolling. In a recent article on Sports Illustrated, insider Albert Breer…

The Green Bay Packers have never been a team that conforms to the tendencies popular with the rest of the NFL. While most teams rely on free agency to fill immediate needs, the Packers believe in draft and develop. Such was the case this offseason when the team decided to move on from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, who sat behind the four-time MVP for three seasons. It is a very similar situation to when Rodgers took over after sitting behind Brett Favre for three years. In his most recent Football Morning in America article, NFL…

There have been numerous former Green Bay Packers who have signed with the New York Jets this season. Before Aaron Rodgers was even traded, Allen Lazard signed a four-year $44 million contract with the understanding that he would get to play with Rodgers again. Since the trade, Randall Cobb, Tim Boyle, and Billy Turner have also signed with New York. Those players saw Rodgers in his latter days with Green Bay and are able to see how different he is now with the Jets. One of those players, Rodgers’ best friend Randall Cobb, went into detail of how much happier…

The Green Bay Packers have made some fairly drastic changes this offseason. Aaron Rodgers, of course, was traded to the New York Jets. The wide receiver room is going to be filled with rookies and second-year players instead of a mixture of young receivers and veterans. Two rookies will be the top tight ends as Robert Tonyan departed for Chicago and Marcedes Lewis will not be re-signed. Gone, too, is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, Mason Crosby. In a recent interview, head coach Matt LaFleur explained the decision to move on from the veteran kicker in favor of sixth round…

There are plenty of Green Bay Packers fans who believe that 2023 is going to be a rebuilding year for the team. After all, they have transitioned away from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, have all first and second year wide receivers, and drafted two new tight ends. That being said, the special teams (which was greatly improved last season) is still stacked with talent and the defense has all the talent it needs to be dominant (the jury is out on whether the defensive coordinator can utilize it). The Packers are certainly not approaching the 2023 season as a…

The Green Bay Packers have a rich history at the running back position. From Tony Canadeo to Jim Taylor to Paul Hornung to Dorsey Levens to Ryan Grant to Aaron Jones, there are no shortage of great names sprinkled throughout the team’s 100+ year history. Jones, of course, is the current premier running back and is currently third in team history with 5,284 career rushing yards. Seventh round pick Lew Nichols may be sitting behind Jones and AJ Dillon right now, but he has been studying Jones in particular for many years now. Indeed, the Packers took a chance on…

In 1997, Green Bay Packers running back Dorsey Levens made his only career Pro Bowl. That season, he rushed 329 times for 1,435 yards and seven touchdowns. In addition, he had 53 receptions for 370 yards and five more touchdowns. In total, Levens had 1,805 all purpose yards and 12 touchdowns. Green Bay, of course, were the defending Super Bowl champions that year and made it to the Super Bowl again. While participating in the Pro Bowl that year, Levens got to rub elbows with some of the greatest players to ever play the game. Knowing he was in the…
