Another day, another position! In our seventh instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the linebackers. How did they fair in 2020? Outside Linebackers Za’Darius Smith Za’Darius Smith got more recognition for his 2020 season than that of 2019, but in actuality he was probably sightly more effective in 2019 than he was this past year. Of course, that’s all relative, Smith was still good in 2020 and earned some of honours that he probably

Another day, another position! In our sixth instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the D line. How did they fair in 2020? Defensive Ends Dean Lowry Dean Lowry is a consistent, blue collar type defensive lineman – he rarely makes a bad play but also rarely makes the big splash play. He pretty much delivers exactly what his physical ability allows him to. In 2020, Lowry started all 16 games at defensive end and notched up 36 tackles, w

Another day, another position! In our fifth instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the o line. How did they fair in 2020? Centers Corey Linsley Simply put, Corey Linsley is probably the best center in the NFL – although Jason Kelce and Rodney Hudson may have something to say about that. Linsley was named 1st Team All-Pro by AP, PFF and PWFA but somehow was snubbed in the Pro Bowl voting, but that says more about the process for that

Another day, another position! In our fourth instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the tight ends. How did they fair in 2020? Tight Ends Robert Tonyan In his short time with the team, Robert Tonyan has always been a fan favourite, but the fans love for him went off the scale in 2020 as he had the long hoped for breakout season. Tonyan showed himself to be a receiving threat both short and intermediate, whilst occasionally stretching

Another day, another position! In our third instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the wide receivers. How did they fair in 2020? Wide Receivers Davante Adams Is Davante Adams the best route runner in the NFL? Does Davante Adams have the best release off the line of scrimmage in the NFL? The answer to both questions is an emphatic yes. Was he the best receiver in the NFL in 2020? Another yes. Let’s face it, Davante Adams is simply su

Another day, another position! In our second instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the running backs. How did they fair in 2020? RUNNING BACKS Aaron Jones In 2020, Aaron Jones continued his form of the previous season and not only gave the Packers a consistent threat in the run game but gave them a big play ability from the running back spot that the Packers haven’t had for a few years before Jones. Jones played and started in 14 ga

Aaron Rodgers It’s extremely difficult to know where to start when talking about the 2020 season that Aaron Rodgers had. It was one of the finest by a QB in NFL history. So we’ll start with the stats, and then go from there: 16 games played, all starts 372 completions in 526 attempts 70.7% completion percentage - led the NFL, was a career high and new Packers record 4,299 passing yards 48 touchdown passes – led the NFL, was a career high and new Packers record 12 games with 3

At first glance, it may seem that the Packers starting offensive line is set for the 2020 season, with four out of five starters returning from last year and free agent Rick Wagner replacing the departed Brian Bulaga at right tackle. But scratch a little beneath the surface and there are many possibilities as to what may actually happen and a number of questions to be answered. What if Rick Wagner doesn’t work out at RT? Wagner has been a good player for much of his career, b

The Dynamic Duo – Cecil Isbell & Don Hutson Our new series of articles features exceptional single season individual performances in Green Bay Packers' history. These won’t always be seasons where the team itself has won a Championship or been great but where a player (or players) has delivered a season that should go down in the annals of history. We start with 1942, where two Packers – Cecil Isbell and Don Hutson – had career years. Strange beginnings - Hutson and Isbell st

Every year, we do our very best to make every Packer fan's dream come true with a once in a lifetime trip to Lambeau Field to see the Packers. This year is a little different for obvious reasons. COVID 19 has impacted everyone and our top priority is that everyone stays safe during this time. As the future is uncertain but we see hope of some form of normality with businesses starting to slowly open back up, we have planned our 2020 Lambeau Tour in the hope that we get to go

A lot will change between now and the start of the regular season - whenever that may take place - mini-camp, training camp and the pre-season will all will influence the roster decisions the front office will make along the way and at the final roster cutdown in early September. So who makes the team? That may be a bit of a crazy question to be asking in May, given we don’t know what will happen… nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped me from meandering through the roster and the

In our last instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to Special Teams Kickers Mason Crosby Mason Crosby had an incredibly difficult and tragic year from a family perspective and yet he was able to still put together an exceptional season on the field. Regardless of what his playing performance might have been, he wins an unofficial MVP Award for dealing with heartache and still being out on the field every Sunday. In 2019, Crosby was succ

In our eight instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to our inside linebackers. At a position that is hugely focused on heading into the draft, who has the opportunity to fill the void Martinez has left? Inside Linebackers Blake Martinez Martinez is a solid and consistent inside linebacker, but he continues to divide analysts and fans alike as to how effective he is. Martinez started all 16 games for the third straight year and very rare

Another day, another position! In our seventh instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to our outside linebackers. In a year of dynamite play and personality, how did our free agent signings fair? Outside Linebackers Za'Darius Smith Smith was an off-season free agent signing (4yrs, $66m) who was the unquestionable Packers Player of the Year - leading the team with 13.5 sacks. His total was the fourth (equal) highest single season total in

Another day, another position! In our sixth instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the defensive line. Defensive Ends Dean Lowry Lowry was signed to a contract extension on 23rd July (3yrs/$20.3M extension portion). He is an all-out effort type of guy who makes the occasional splash play. Lowry started all 16 regular season games and played in 637 snaps (61.3% of the team’s defensive total). He notched up 47 tackles (23 solo), 2.5 ta

Another day, another position! In our fourth instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the tight ends. Was the year that poor for tight end play? Let's dig deeper and find out. Jimmy Graham It’s probably fair to say that Graham hasn’t quite had the impact in his two years with the Packers that everybody had hoped for when he was signed as a high priced unrestricted free agent. Occasionally, he has broken out and made the big play and ha

Another day, another position! In our third instalment of reviewing every player at every position, we turn our attentions to the wideouts. Who took a step forward, who took a step back and who earned the No.2 role opposite Davante in 2019? Davante Adams Adams continues to be ranked in the upper echelon of wide receivers in the NFL – being held up in 2019 only by a turf toe injury that saw him miss 4 games around midseason (he started in the other 12 regular season games) and
