PACKERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Packers’ Desmond Bishop Thinks He is DPOY Caliber
Green Bay Packers linebacker Demond Bishop started 13 games in 2011 to help lift the Packers to a 15-1 record, but in 2012, never made his way back to the turf after a disappointing hamstring injury got in his way. As a result, Bishop was a heavy favorite to be traded a month ago by Ted Thompson, but now looks likely to remain in green and gold for at least one more year. Most players...
Charles Woodson should forget about returning to ‘The Town’ as a Raider and become a king in the ‘Queen City of the West’ as a Bronco
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports unemployed Future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson is “intrigued” by the idea of returning to Oakland to play for the Raiders. Clipped by the Green Bay Packers in February, the 36-year-old Woodson was taken by Oakland out of the University of Michigan fourth overall in the 1998 draft. Coming off a 4-12 finish in the AFC West, Oakland will struggle...
Packers Jarrett Bush has Managed to Stick Around
Packers CB Jarrett Bush has stuck with the team since 2006.
The pitchforks were out and the torches were lit after the 2009 season. Packers fans wanted cornerback Jarrett Bush off the team.
I admit that I was one of those Packers fans holding a torch high in one hand and a pitchfork in the other. I was sick of seeing Bush stumbling three yards behind a receiver after a double move...

Green Bay Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop has set a lofty goal for himself as he prepares for the upcoming season after missing the 2012 season due to a torn hamstring.
Bishop’s goal is to win the NFL’s defensive MVP award.
“Seriously,” Bishop says, per the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, “why not? I know I’m capable.”
Bishop plans on taking things slow during OTA’s...
Packers’ rookie running backs hope to provide powerful combination
Green Bay Packers rookie running backs Eddie Lacey and Johnathan Franklin want to put the power back into the team’s dormant rushing attack.
That is what the Packers are looking for in the drafting of Lacy out of Alabama in the second round and Franklin out of UCLA in the fourth round.
Aaron Rodgers has had to air it out and the effects are slowly showing.
In a playoff loss...
Lacy, Franklin expected to be strong contributors
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Setting up Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin as roommates during the Green Bay Packers' rookie minicamp was surely an intentional way for the team to get its two newest running backs to start thinking alike.
But with cordial greetings and getting-to-know-you's behind them now, the competition for snaps between Lacy and Franklin officially begins.
While...

Who’s to Blame for Aaron Rodgers’ Record High Sacks?
We’ve all seen the numbers. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked a total of 51 times in 2012 – more than any other NFL quarterback – and 55 times if you count the playoffs. It eclipsed his previous record of 50 sacks in 2009 and brings his five-year total as a starter to 202. His lowest sack count in that span was 31 in 2010, the same year they won the Super...
Paul Hornung looks to score Preakness win
Former Green Bay Packers great Paul Hornung is looking to pull an upset in the Preakness with his 3-year-old colt Titletown Five - named for the number of NFL titles won by the Packers when Hornung played for them.
"We're ready to go," a smiling Hornung said Friday morning sitting on a bench at the stakes barn housing most of the horses running in the second leg of...

Coleman vs Harrell: A fight for the Packers backup job
Aaron Rodgers is questionably the best quarterback in the league right now. His accurate arm and leadership literally holds the Green Bay Packers 2013 season and Super Bowl chances. With this in mind, it is sometimes intimidating to see what lies behind Rodgers on the roster. Behind him are back up quarterbacks Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman. If Rodgers were to ever go down in an...
Packers make the right move on offensive line
There are some notoriously bad pass-protecting offensive lines in the NFL today (ahem – Detroit), but just whom is responsible for the most sacks the last five years? The most sacked quarterback in the NFL since 2008 is none other than former MVP and Super Bowl Champion Aaron Rodgers. However, the Packers think they may have finally solved that problem this offseason.

Will the Packers’ Eddie Lacy restore balance in the NFC?
Francois-Marie Arouet, more commonly known as Voltaire, is credited with first saying, “with great power comes great responsibility.” In France during the 19th century, Voltaire was bothered by the gross misuse of power and privilege by authority while the less fortunate were deprived and left to suffer. Almost 200 years later, in a much more simplistic and twisted manner...
Could the Packers Start a Rookie on the Offensive Line?
Packers rookie offensive lineman J.C. Tretter
If I put the over/under on the number of rookies the Packers will have starting on the offensive line for the regular season opener at 0.5, would you take the over or the under?
What if I changed the season opener to week 10, but kept the over/under at 0.5?
If you believe some of the scuttle out of the Packers rookie mini-camp, recent...
