Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Running Backs
We’re officially one week away from Packers rookies reporting to Green Bay for training camp, so it’s time to tie a bow on our roster preview series. The big question at this position is whether running back Josh Jacobs will or won’t face legal and/or league ramifications for an alleged domestic abuse incident, but at […]
Decoding Jonathan Gannon’s Eagles Defense: What the Coverage Data Reveals
When the Philadelphia Eagles finished the 2022 season ranked 2nd in defensive DVOA, much of the credit rightly went to a historic pass rush — 70 sacks, the third-most in NFL history through the regular season. But the coverage data tells an equally important story about how Jonathan Gannon built that defense, and it reveals […]
Green Bay Packers News: Running back battle is one to watch in camp
There are lots of opportunities for running backs on the Green Bay Packers’ roster this summer. The RB2 job behind Josh Jacobs is effectively up for grabs, and that role could take on even more importance depending on how Jacobs’ legal situation plays out. Yes, Chris Brooks is firmly entrenched as the team’s third down […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: High Red Zone
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by situation. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet, which I ran down in my initial post. This is the 10th article in the series, where we’re looking at the High Red Zone (plays between the 11-20 […]
Green Bay Packers News: Edgerrin Cooper hopes to cover up linebacker concerns
When the Green Bay Packers take the field this fall, their linebacker group will be one of the more interesting units on the roster. The team has a bona fide star on the roster, but aside from Edgerrin Cooper, the rest of the group provides far more questions than answers. What does Zaire Franklin bring […]
Packers Discussion: Who was your first favorite Green Bay player?
Here’s a fun softball question for this slow news period: Who was your first favorite Green Bay Packers player? My answer is pretty basic, and I expect a decent number of you to have the same: Brett Favre. Unlike some of you, I didn’t grow up in the state of Wisconsin. I’m an Oregonian, and […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Safeties
The Green Bay Packers are a little thin across the board after the first line of the depth chart, but one position where they have bodies to spare is safety, arguably the deepest position on the team. In the final defensive edition of our 2026 roster preview, we’ll touch on every safety on the team […]
Green Bay Packers News: Can Lukas Van Ness finally deliver the breakout the Packers need?
Few players on Green Bay’s roster enter 2026 under a brighter spotlight than Lukas Van Ness. As Bill Huber of Packers On SI recently noted, the Packers’ biggest question on the edge isn’t just replacing early production while Micah Parsons recovers from a torn ACL. It’s whether Van Ness can finally become the impact pass […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Cornerbacks
We’re getting close to the end of our roster preview series. Today, we’re going to tackle the Green Bay Packers’ cornerback room, a lightning rod for Packers fans. If you want to read any of our previous installments before we take you through every single cornerback on Green Bay’s 91-man roster, though, here are our […]
Matthew Golden is not doomed to be a bust
Sigh. There are a bunch of people who didn’t like Matthew Golden right out of college. You can find them online, but here’s one. And in the Green Bay Packers’ section of this year’s FTN Almanac written (You should buy it, it’s great!) by Bryan Knowles, Golden is a featured player. The preview as a […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Plenty of reasons to believe in Packers receivers
The Packers’ offseason renovation of their wide receiver position could be seen as a repudiation of their previous approach. For years, they’ve gone with a version of the “no number one receivers” offense, and the results have been fair to middling, diminished by injuries at the position and an at times fractured offense overall. But […]
The Packers’ linebacker situation is weird
Linebacker is the weirdest position on the Packers right now. It hasn’t quite arrived, but isn’t quite in transition either. It seems like the Packers have been trying to solve a problem there for most of a decade and haven’t quite landed on a solution. And for that matter, the answer to whatever question they’re […]
Packers’ Edgerrin Cooper named top-10 linebacker by ESPN
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has been running his annual top-10 series this month, where he asks executives, coaches, scouts and analysts who the best players at each position are. On Tuesday, he dropped his list of linebackers, which featured Green Bay Packer Edggerin Cooper as the 9th overall player on the list. Here’s how the full […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Who won the Packers’ offseason?
I feel like I’ve spent most of the offseason complaining about the way people have talked about the Packers’ offseason. Most NFL media seems to be fixated on the idea that the Packers had a bad offseason because they lost some players they weren’t going to use anyway, disregarding the fact that no Packers fan […]
Packers Discussion: How do you feel about the Isaiah McDuffie deal?
The Green Bay Packers officially announced on Monday that the team had extended linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a one-year contract that will keep McDuffie on the roster through the 2027 season. Last year, McDuffie served as the team’s “starting” Sam linebacker and as the Packers’ special teams captain. McDuffie should continue to contribute as a […]
Green Bay Packers News: Jordan Love still can’t get no respect
NFL media love to drum up discussion and controversy in the summer. With nothing to actually do between the end of minicamp and the start of training camp — which is fast approaching in just over two weeks — the league has to create attention for itself somehow. Enter the annual NFL Top 100 list, […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025 Postscript: Good riddance!
Now that our top plays are in the books, I’d like to offer one final coda to our look back at last season. 2025 was really dumb. I wrote in the conclusion to our top play of 2025 that everything after Keisean Nixon’s interception capped off the Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 14 […]
Reading the tea leaves for the Packers’ 2026 offense
I spend so much of the offseason looking backwards at the previous season, but this time of year, my thoughts start drifting to the next season. What lessons did we learn from last season that could give us clues for this season, both from the Green Bay Packers and a leaguewide perspective? I’ve had all […]
Friday Cheese Curds: Why the Packers have reason to believe their offensive line will be better in 2026
The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line has become a popular offseason target for skeptics. One recent article highlighted the unit as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks, noting that several national analysts rank the Packers’ offensive line near the bottom third of the NFL after the departures of Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins. Makes […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #1: Keisean Nixon calls game
Keisean Nixon provokes a lot of mixed feelings in people. Okay, not super mixed. A lot of people, if not most, are pretty down on Nixon as the Packers’ top cornerback. But it’s not all bad, and last season Nixon gave us one of the most memorable images of the century-long Packers/Bears rivalry. Here’s our […]
Wisconsin, Notre Dame drop new uniforms for Lambeau Field matchup
There will be a game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6th, but it won’t involve the Green Bay Packers. While the Packers will have that week “off” between the preseason and regular season, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will travel to Green Bay for a Labor Day weekend matchup to kick off their respective seasons […]
Green Bay Packers News: Are critics of Love’s supporting cast wrong about the Packers?
In a recent write up for SI, Bill Huber asked whether Jordan Love can capitalize on his supporting cast. It’s an interesting question because so much of the national conversation assumes Green Bay’s offense has gotten worse. Has it? Let’s walk through just a few examples. The Packers lost productivity in the receiver room. This […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #2: Matthew Golden finally scores his first TD
As a longtime Matthew Golden believer, I made it a priority to specifically request that I write about the first-round pick’s first career touchdown. This play from the Green Bay Packers’ Wild Card game comes in at number two on APC’s countdown of the best plays from last season. The Game The NFC Wild Card […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Linebackers
The Green Bay Packers’ linebacker room is a little light right now, as the team only has seven bodies on its 91-man roster for a position that is expected to have five players make the 53-man roster. Next up in our roster preview, we’re going to take a look at every single off-ball linebacker on […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Micah Parsons is good
Hey everyone, Micah Parsons is good. Periodically, it seems people need a reminder and ESPN was happy to oblige, ranking Parsons as the second-best edge rusher in the NFL in our first link below. Normally I wouldn’t go through so much trouble to point out just one article, but I think this one is worthy […]
