A Little Bit Special Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 http://www.packers.com/news/releases/2005/04/22/1/ Happy to see Barry back. A lot of teams around the league think O'Sullivan is a talented guy so that's a positive too. http://www.jsonline.com/packer/news/apr05/320391.asp Chad Brown, recently cut by Seattle, is interested in joining the Packers.

Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ted Thompson is the man. If we get Chad Brown, I would say something I never thought I could this year -- we'll have solid (if unspectular) starters at every position on defense. :eek: I would LOVE the flexibility that gives us in the draft.

Logans Heroes Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I agree... With Ray Thompson already signed, Chad Brown wouldn't have to play every down which could save his body. Would be a tough LB rotation. My dream would be to get Thomas Davis in the 1st round... after that we could just keep adding depth. A solid pass rushing DE would be nice too. We still need help on D... but with Brown we'd be able to be a little more creative and maybe take the guys we want WHEN we want them, not sitting back glaring at a need and pressing. Flexibility in the draft is KEY. I'd like to see Courtney Roby in GB. He set the Indiana receiving record with crap QB's. That's a lot of RAC's. PLUS he's return guy. COULD end up our #2 WR. We'll see how tomorrow goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 All I gotta say is if you get 10 games outta Chad Brown, man you are gonna love that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Saw a rumor that Brown's injuries have taken a toll - he's pretty well a strict pass-rush guy who can't play in space anymore. Be a nice bookend coming off the edge with KGB, though. Like the Raynoch Thompson signing - he was a tackling machine who Arizona was constantly trying to get rid of; all he did was beat out any and everyone they brought in and give 100% on the field. Wouldn't mind seeing him step into the middle, Barnett shift over to WLB and Diggs go back to SLB, Navies provide decent depth on the bench, and Torrance Marshall can go bye-bye.

Chavez Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yeah, I had some virus come in and munch dll files needed for net access on my home PC. It doesn't appear my understated eloquence has been missed too awful much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pack has offered the vet minimum, but so far he isn't willing to take it. Of course his agent is putting the spin on saying that he played last year with a bum shoulder which lead to a dropoff in production and now he is "paying for taking one for the team".

Despite being a first-ballot entry into the All-Name Hall of Fame, he's just a guy out there - solid, nothing that can't be replaced fairly easily and cheaply.

Navies is nothing special. This year Diggs moves back to the strongside. I think they'll leave Barnett in the middle and insert Raynoch at the weakside (his former linebacker coach says that's his best position). They are claiming that 2nd round pick Nick Collins is going to start IMO they should have taken Dan Cody. They probably still could have gotten Collins at #58 (instead of a WR) if they liked him that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Little Bit Special Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Wrong Barry! 791753[/snapback] You Lions fans just won't let go. And I specifically state "re-sign" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
