I see the Packer site has 25% off. Does that mean I get 25% off my II subscription?
I take a half day off and somehow I’m not surprised this is what I come back to.

Spoff on a Saturday, an unexpected treat! My girlfriend is a huge Eagles fan so I’ve watched most of their games this year. The strength of their team is undoubtedly their pass rush. Every guy who puts his hand in the dirt for them has a chance at bringing the QB down on any play. The savvy veterans with Graham and Cox and the young guns with Sweat and Reddick. Mahomes’ ability to escape and create or lack thereof will be the difference in the Super Bowl in my opinion.
I think so, too. That and Philly’s running game.
Where are the women from in the Celebrating Women In Sports photo? Local high schools, colleges, other?
They all work either for the Packers or at Lambeau Field.

Wes mentioned Creed Humphrey’s rapid development at the center position. When the Packers picked Josh Myers one pick ahead of Humphrey they were clearly in the market for drafting a center and had their choice of the two. Do you recall any reasons why the Packers preferred Myers to Humphrey? Humphrey is left-handed. Perhaps that was the tiebreaker. It is hard not to think about an O-line that would have had Humphrey, Elgton Jenkins and David Bakhtiari from center out to the left.
I don’t know if Humphrey being left-handed influenced the decision. I know the Packers liked Myers’ size at 6-5, 310, but Humphrey is only a tad smaller at 6-4, 302. Overall, Humphrey’s first two seasons have gone better than Myers’, but Myers is by no means a finished product. He has the tools.
Looking at mock drafts there appears to be a good chance that GB will have an opportunity to match their first pick with an area of need. Defensive line or edge, wide receiver, safety, tight end or possibly even right tackle although I’m high on Zach Tom. That said, my old standby is that it’s very hard to win games if you can’t stop the run. I hope they go defensive line or safety in Round 1, and focus on tight ends and wide receivers on day two. What do you think?
When you’re 8-9, the needs list is long enough that you can’t go wrong taking the best available player. If all else is equal, go with the bigger need. If the acuity of needs is equal, lean toward the guys in the trenches.

I really hated to see the OG leave the defensive coaching staff. I have seen several articles…
