Although the Insider Inbox delivers great content, how much better could it be if the writers were chosen in the first round?
I put this first just so Wes gets to scream in all caps some more tomorrow. You're welcome.

Alright Mike/Wes...
LaFleur credited Keke for having "a great week of practice" heading into the Saints game. The playing opportunities haven't hurt, either. The former fifth-round pick has played nearly as many defensive snaps through the first three games (92) as he did in 14 regular-season games as a rookie a...
Hi Mike, I recently saw a comment that Oren Burks has taken some snaps at outside linebacker. Is there any validity to that?
Yes, that's where he was playing Sunday night after Gary went out. It appears the Packers are trying him at a new position on defense. He's still a regular on special...
Straightforward pass protection might be Jenkins' strongest of many strong suits. This one, the third snap of the second half, is highlighted because Rodgers needs time for Lazard's deep route to develop, and he needs enough room to step into the long throw. Jenkins provides enough of both...
The communication helmet was no biggie to him, either. He wore it during his rookie preseason action, and he has it on in practice to listen to Pettine's calls every day, so that part was just "hear the call, give the call." He also disputed the speculation on NBC's Sunday Night Football...

I know you referred to him as Money Mason, but seriously... Mason Crosby was 7-of-7 on his kicks including two FGs 49 yards or longer and the Packers needed each and every one of them. I know he gets a lot of love in the II, but you can't over-appreciate that kind of...
Five of the missed tackles were on one play – Kamara's 52-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the third quarter, which played out like a comedy of errors and helped the Saints running back approach 200 yards from scrimmage on the night.
Fellow running back Latavius Murray made a few guys...
The Packers took over on their own 36-yard line with 6:36 left in the game right after the defense had forced a Saints three-and-out. QB Aaron Rodgers started the drive with a 23-yard completion to second-year TE Jace Sternberger, and the Packers were across midfield and on the move.

I would like to tell Gary from Oregon, WI, that Iowa State is a major program. Big XII is a power five conference and we play some of the top 25 teams in the country every year. Allen Lazard will tell you the same thing. He wouldn't change his college experience if he...
The Packers' tight ends came to play Sunday night at the Superdome.
The trio of Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis and Jace Sternberger combined for nine catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns during Green Bay's 37-30 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Tonyan, who had a career-high five catches...
He got the Saints in the first quarter on the game's opening possession to turn a third-and-7 into a third-and-2, which was easily converted and led to a field goal. Two weeks ago at Minnesota, he got two gift first downs and a free play that turned into a long completion to Marquez...
"I mean, this is everything I've been preparing for," Lazard said. "This is football. … Injuries are bound to happen, so it was only going to be, not necessarily a matter of time, but I'm really just waiting for my opportunity to be able to step up today and I think I did that pretty well."...
The Packers, with second-year pro Ty Summers getting the first defensive snaps of his career filling in for an injured Christian Kirksey (shoulder) and calling the signals, kept enough other weapons in check. The Saints only had one gain from someone other than Kamara longer than 13 yards until...

Saints lead Packers 7-3 after first quarter
Green Bay got the fast start they were looking for on defense, forcing a three-and-out on New Orleans' first possession with Jaire Alexander tackling Deonte Harris short of the first down.
The Packers put points on the board right away with two...
The Green Bay Packers signed TE John Lovett (love-it) and WR Darrius Shepherd to the active roster from the practice squad and elevated DL Billy Winn from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday. The transactions were announced Saturday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Lovett...
