I can't wait for Sunday, and living in detwat, I'm even more pumped than usual. I keep rereading the same stuff about the game and needed a little distraction. So, here is the question: What one (1) previous Packer from the modern era would you want right now on this current Packer team? To make it a little more difficult/interesting, I'm taking Reggie White off the table.
What say you?????

Woodson. This was easy
True, I guess that was pretty obvious. Other than Woodson, I'd take Nick Collins.
I was all Reggie before I got in here.
Herb Adderly
For Sunday's Game ? Lots of decent choices
2009 Woodson
1996 Reggie
2010 Tramon Williams
2014 Eddie Lacy
2011 El Ka Bong
1967 Travis Williams
Vince Lombardi. Because he wouldn't take his foot off the gas with a big lead.
And you know this how?
Ahman Green?
After the obvious...
Chad Clifton
Grady Jackson
Sam Shields
Wayne Simmons
Chuck Cecil
Travis Jervey
AJ Hawk
In all seriousness. You put Sterling on this roster at his best it's game over. Keith Jackson is right there as well.
Tramon, Charles, Nick. Same thing.
Chuck Cecil. Make him a hybrid LB.
Max (The unflappable one) McGee. or Jimmy Taylor
Tim Harris or KGB.....solid, all time pressure from both sides will help the D backline imensly.
James Lofton (Sterling works too)
You know what's interesting. A lot of people are going to roll through all kinds of names they'd love to see on this roster. No one is landing on Brett Favre.

Good Gravy, imagine him after New Years Eve?!?!?!?

Hmmmm, maybe because QB isn't a need?
Grady Jackson? cmoun, Gilbert Brown before Grady.
How about Tim Lewis before the neck injury? Jermichael Finley in his heyday season? EddieLee/Gerry (they are one IMO)? Desmond Howard for the return game? Rich Wingo for his neck brace?

So are you just reciting names from a list of the 80's roster or did you actually watch any of the games they played in? Why don't you just throw Darrell Thompson in there while you're at it.

I'm breaking the rules and saying Reggie White. I don't care if he just stands on the sideline. I want him back in this world.
If we're breaking rules.....
Roster. Upgraded.
Good question. While a secondary with Woodson would be nice, I'd go Reggie. Third down pass rush would be Reggie and Daniels as down linemen, CMIII and Perry off the edge, rotating in Peppers. That's pretty intimidating on paper.
If I went offense, I'd want Sterling Sharpe. So underrated by the national media b/c his career was cut short, but he was arguably the best WR in football in the early 90's. Sharpe and Adams on the outside, Nelson in the slot, Cook at TE, and Monty in the backfield would be tough to stop. And you could really have some fun moving Cobb around.
And this is coming from a fan since 1990. Maybe Herb Adderley and Don Hutson were better, but I couldn't tell you first hand.
Mark Chamura?? 
He was a great tight end.....Or Keith Jackson?
Herb Adderly / Charles Woodson at CB & Reggie White as a pass rusher is all we would need to add to the group we have right now.

I remember Tim Lewis getting hurt vs the Bears in college (at UW-Eau Claire) during a Thursday night game on TNT. Yes, TNT had Thursday night games once upon a time.
Jermichael was the aughts.
Desmond was the 90s.
Loved the combo of Eddie Lee and Gerry despite Gerry's fumbles. Some say Eddie Lee 'coulda been a playa' if he didn't have the knee injury. I also believe they both once rushed for 100 yards each at the ol' Met vs. the Vikes.
Rich Wingo was on the cover of the 1980 media guide I do believe and he wore one of the those cool neck braces that went away for some reason. I remember him as a stud and fan favorite but injuries must have derailed him.
Take that Mr. Man!

Only if the ol' tight end pass was recycled from the Tom Rossley playbook!
Woodson and/or Collins would alleviate any worries I have about the D right now.
Aaron Kampman, just because the poor boy never got a ring.
Jonathan Brown

Yes, yes, Aaron Kampman.....loved him, and he loved Green Bay.
Bryce Paup in the 3-4. Another outside pass rusher would cover the secondary and help vs. the run.
Kworsted
Al Harris would be a good fit for the current DB quandry.

So you couldn't do all that research before suggesting Ivery and Ellis were the same guy? Weak.

Boom. In the Kiel collection.

I certainly could have. But did I?

What a exquisite neck brace. And also those weird facemasks that were around for awhile. And for DH 13, I did Google the spelling of exquisite.
