We’ve been deceived! We’ve been told over and over there is no gambling at Bushwood and now we find out that it has been going on surreptitiously since at least 2016! Oh, the shame! It’s “Copacetic-gate”! With that disclosure, Wes really sliced it into the woods!
I give the kid the keys to the car for two days and this is what I come back to …
What’s our X factor we need this year?
The ability to punch it in. In my mind, red-zone/goal-to-go failures cost the Packers three wins last season – the Giants game in London, and the two Detroit games. That was the difference between 8-9 and 11-6.

GOOD MORNING! Love your work, very informative and interesting insights… It sounded like GM Gutekunst suggested in an interview that two safeties may be moving on. Which safeties are not likely to return next season? Any obvious draft picks or free agents?
Adrian Amos and Rudy Ford are both headed toward free agency, and that’s not to say both won’t be back, but Gutekunst certainly has pointed to safety as a roster need. As Wes noted late last week, there’s a lot to sort out in the secondary, such as where the best spots are for Darnell Savage and Rasul Douglas moving forward. I’m very much in wait-and-see mode with that position group.
Reading between the lines BG made, are you surprised Amos probably won’t be back? I know we can’t have everyone but if he’s no longer in Green Bay I’ll definitely be bummed. I feel he has embodied what it means to be a Packer. How would you grade his FA signing and time here?
Amos did exactly what the Packers needed him to for four years – provide a reliable, stabilizing presence for a mostly young secondary. He’s rarely out of position nor makes a mental mistake, and seven interceptions in four years more than doubled his total from the same length tenure in Chicago. A quiet, humble leader. I’m sure he’s still got something left, but turning 30 next month he’s also looking for one last substantial payday, which could make it difficult for the Packers to retain him. We shall see.

Will the Packers be hosting another team during their training camp this year? If yes, do we know who it will be and when they will be here? PS: I miss the good old days of the Cheese League.
I haven’t heard anything regarding another team visiting here in August, but this regime has sought out those opportunities and may do so again. Stay tuned.
I saw in Evan Siegle’s latest article that when a team has…
