Many Green Bay Packers fans were outraged that defensive coordinator Joe Barry was retained after a second-straight season of mediocre-to-below-average defense from his unit. The feeling among many is that 2023 will be a make-or-break year for his standing in Green Bay. Even national reporter Mina Kimes said earlier this offseason that Barry is under more pressure than Jordan Love to be successful. That being said, two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander does not think there is anything wrong with Barry’s scheme. In his opinion, the players have been making too many excuses for the defense’s poor performance. Jaire Alexander…

The Milwaukee Brewers already have made one trade in the past week, acquiring first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana from the Pittsburgh Pirates. On Monday evening, they completed their second trade of Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, acquiring outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha from the New York Mets.

Green Bay Packers CEO and President Mark Murphy made quite the wave in the news last week when talking about Jordan Love. When discussing how long it would take for the Packers to know what they had in Love, he said that it would take about eight weeks. In other words, Love has eight weeks to prove that he can be the starting quarterback in Green Bay for the long-run. This statement drew a lot of criticism from some fans who recalled that Murphy, general manager Brian Gutekunst, and head coach Matt LaFleur all said at various points of the…

The Green Bay Packers are practicing in pads for the first time in training camp today. This is where the proverbial gloves come off and players start to play some real football. It is where plays become more meaningful and players can start to separate and prove themselves in front of coaches, front office personnel, fans, and media. Jordan Love received more than his fair share of criticism over the first three days of training camp. However, he had a great day on Saturday and many Packers media called it his best day of practice ever. Love built off of…

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has been around some of the NFL’s brightest minds in this modern era. Notable players that he has coached and/or work with include Donovan McNabb, Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, Derrick Henry, and Aaron Rodgers. Those are some pretty high-profile players, each known not just for their abilities (past or present), but for their high football IQ’s. Which is why the comment that LaFleur made about Packers wide receiver Christian Watson today is such a powerful statement. Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Christian Watson Will Surprise Many People This…

Green Bay Packers fans made their feelings pretty clear about new kicker Anders Carlson after he went 1-6 on field goal attempts during practice on Saturday. As I documented here, many fans were calling for Mason Crosby to be brought back into the fold. However, these reactions completely ignored the fact that Carlson started training camp 5-6 and that fans were calling for Crosby’s release for years before he hit free agency. In his daily mailbox article on Monday, Packers writer Mike Spofford explained what Carlson’s next steps will be. The Green Bay Packers Want to See How Anders Carlson Responds…

The Green Bay Packers offense is one of the NFL’s biggest mysteries entering the 2023 season. Will they be better in 2023 with Jordan Love than they were in 2022 under Aaron Rodgers? Will Love be the quarterback the Packers envisioned he could be when they traded up to draft him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft? Of course, these questions cannot be answered until the regular season. Packers CEO and President Mark Murphy stated that they will know after about eight games if Love is who they think he is. He based his timeline on when…

All offseason, many Green Bay Packers writers (including myself) have talked about different the offensive will be in 2023 with Jordan Love under center instead of Aaron Rodgers. These claims have made sense considering a couple of factors, one of which being how much control Rodgers had over the Green Bay offense. That being said, Love was recently interviewed on NFL+, and when asked how the offense would be different with him instead of Rodgers, he said, “I’m not exactly sure.” However, and this is a big however, there was one thing Rodgers did that Love stated he was not going to…

Former Wisconsin Badgers running back Jonathan Taylor is not happy with his current team, the Indianapolis Colts. Jim Irsay, the owner of the franchise, recently made disparaging remarks regarding the value of running backs in the NFL. Of course, these comments came after several running backs called out teams on social media for low-balling them. Over the weekend, Taylor and Irsay met privately to discuss the comments. Whatever was said did not sit well with Taylor, who requested a trade later that day. For his part, Irsay has been adamant that the Colts will not trade Taylor, who has one…

The Green Bay Packers made the decision to waive 2021 third round pick Amari Rodgers during the 2022 NFL season. Rodgers just never was able to form any kind of connection with then quarterback Aaron Rodgers and frequently fumbled the football on kick and punt returns. He was not out of work for long, signing with the Houston Texans. In the latter half of the 2022 season, Rodgers had 12 receptions for 154 yards and his first career touchdown. Coming into training camp, he expected to compete again for a spot on the Texans’ 53-man roster. Unfortunately, the Texans have…
