Will do a write up the defence and coaching shortly, followed by an analysis of our off-season.
Look forward to the one on Coaching. Big issues there on both sides of the ball for mine.

Packer 2014 Off-Season: 1st Draft
Departures:
B.J Raji
Marshall Newhouse
C.J Wilson
Ryan Pickett
Seneca Wallace
M.D. Jennings
Rob Francois
John Kuhn
James Jones
Re-Signings:
Sam Shields
Johnny Jolly
Mike Neal
James Starks
Jamari Lattimore
Andrew Quarless
Evan Dietrich-Smith
Chris Banjo
Matt Flynn
Tramon Williams (re-structured)
Unknown:
Jermichael Finley
Draft:
1. Defensive Line
2. Safety
3. Tight End
4. ILB
5. OLB
6. WR
7. CB
Those positions are likely to change depending on if we make any free agent signings, Jermichael Finely and what happens with all of our DL FAs. I would like to see a play made for Jarius Bryd only problem is the price tag at which he would come and with Cobb and Nelson coming up for big contracts I'm not sure it's worth it.
Cheers appreciate it.Great write ups on the Defence and Coaches. Couldnt agree more.
Agree with almost all.
I dont want to see Jones and Kuhn gone though. Kuhn especially.
I agree with both of those. Honestly I think we will be able to get a fair deal with Kuhn sorted and he will be back.Kuhn is a heart and soul player.... don't let those go.
#1 change has to be Capers.
I agree with both of those. Honestly I think we will be able to get a fair deal with Kuhn sorted and he will be back.
Capers has been here too long and while he won us a SB ever since then the defence has regressed quickly. I'm shattered that the Jets kept Ryan I was very keen on the idea of bringing him in.
Without a doubt, a lot will depend on who we sign in FA though.Defense high on the drafting agenda... again
Without a doubt, a lot will depend on who we sign in FA though.
I haven't heard a lot about early draft picks mainly 3rd and above.I've been a bit out of the loop recently (as demonstrated by my lack of posting during the season) is there anyone in particular we are targeting?
Shields is about the 6th or 7th best CB to hit the FA market so he won't command a lot of dollars, pretty sure he will remain in GB.Hey fellas, do any of you guys actually think TT will pull the trigger in free agency like some reports? Would love to top up the d, unsure if letting shields test his worth is smart, wouldn't want to lose him but will he want to much. haven't watched college football much but Pryor sounds like a stud just doubt he'l drop to us by reports. Hope datone or perry make some serious strides cause Matthews needs help and then add a difference maker or two (byrd!!) and we can be dangerous come next season
nice catch up with don majkowski on the packers website.
one of my favourite players from when I started following NFL:

I don't TT will break the bank for any big FAs as we have Cobb and Nelson due next year and it's not really his style.
Pryor I think will drop to our pick just, now it's a matter of if Hageman and Nix are still around who do you pick then?
Pretty low guaranteed money so not a bad signing really. Doubt he sees anywhere near the $30M max though and if it does it means he is being totally dominant and we are winning games.Packers sign Julius Peppers, 3-year deal, $30M max, $7.5M guaranteed & $8.5M in total 1st year salary.
Thoughts?

The thing I'm not sure is where/how we will play him. I think this just reinforces the fact that the Packers are moving towards a hybrid style defence this year.
