Ryan from Appleton, WI Are the Packers planning on unveiling a new throwback jersey for this upcoming season? Yes, but I'm not sure exactly when. Nicholas from Baltimore, MD I find that the 10-6 Dolphins didn't make the playoffs yet the 8-8 Bears did to be very annoying, not just as a...

GREEN BAY – One of the first things David Turner did after reuniting with Dan Mullen in 2019 at the University of Florida was turn on film of his newest pupil: T.J. Slaton. And not just the cutups from Slaton's first two seasons with the Gators. Turner even went back and watched Slaton's...

Travis from Fort Walton Beach, FL Have any defensive players had latitude or authority to change plays at the line of scrimmage similar to how Aaron Rodgers does for the offense? Not that I've ever heard. It's not really a fair comparison. Free-lance moves on defense – like Jaire Alexander...

According to Ole Miss stats, Newman allowed just one sack in 416 pass-blocking snaps at guard in 2019, and then just two sacks in 430 pass-blocking snaps at tackle in 2020. "It's a body of work they're looking for," said Bicknell, who's now at Louisville but previously served as an offensive...

Corey Berghammer of Cumberland High School has been named the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association (WFCA)/Green Bay Packers Coach of the Year. Berghammer's fourth season as the head coach of Cumberland was unlike any he had experienced. With over 60% of high schools in Wisconsin playing...

Craig from Brookfield, WI Good day, II. You can easily divide the 17-game season into quarters. Just call the fourth quarter a "leap quarter" (five games). You work at Lambeau Field...and this didn't occur to you? C'mon, man! Thanks for ruining all the fun, Craig. You must be fun at mathlete...

Bill from Doha, Qatar An obscure question for you. In the 1970 team picture, one player looked a bit out of place. He was in the upper-left corner wearing jersey No. 39, but it looks like an old jersey. The block number was more of an early '60s style. Who was he? Some scrub who happened to be...

Steven from Silver Spring, MD We have covered Amari Rodgers and how his body type and play style can relate to the slot receiver role. However good he is or may be. it does leave us in the same situation as last year where we seemingly only have one player qualifying for that role. What other...

Van Lanen had a strong senior year at Bay Port, earning FRCC Offensive Lineman of the Year honors for a second consecutive year and an invite to the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He redshirted his freshman season in Madison and played sparingly the year after. By 2018, however, Van Lanen...

Sal from Salt Lake City, UT Since you're our eyes on the ground, who is the biggest threat to David Bakhtiari's "Best Hair" title: Benkert or Royce Newman? Bakhtiari is in a league of his own. I think he's gonna hold that title down as long as he's in Green Bay. That being said, Benkert's...

James from Appleton, WI I thought it was pretty evident to everyone in the NFL that the only person who can guarantee that a player will be starting for a team three years from now is the player himself. Isn't that how it works? Pretty much. Neal from Fort Worth, TX After several...

Andy from Verona, WI Which 2021 draft pick or undrafted free agent would you like to get to know more? T.J. Slaton. One-hundred percent. It seems like he has a great personality and cool outlook on life. He's also a 6-foot-4, 330-pound former basketball player. What's not to love? Michael...

2. Amari Rodgers' choice of No. 8 to symbolize 'everything coming full circle' The third-round pick was the first to take advantage of the NFL relaxing its rules on which numbers skill-position players are permitted to wear. Unfortunately, the No. 3 Rodgers wore at Clemson already was...
