Not saying it's necessarily a problem just a question. It's going to work itself out one way or the other. It's interesting because the more they can trust McMillian/Jennings, the more Burnett can do what he does best and the more creative Capers can get with the scheme. Just look at it as the position with the biggest variance of potential heading into 2013.
I agree Tit that safety is a huge question mark. I really wanted them to sign Michael Huff. I would still like to see them bring in a veteran for depth if there ends up being any decent ones out there.
Well they should continually draft or sign FA for players that have played all of one year and did a decent job as a rookie. That makes perfect sense.
This team needs 10 or 12 impact players

Since the Packers' brass didn't sign or draft any safeties, I'm assuming (but it's always bad to assume) that they like what they have back there. Jennings and McMillian had their issues/growing pains, but they both seem to have potential.
Upgrading the pass rush, which hopefully Datone contributes to, will also make life easier for the secondary.

RONG!!
They're too expensive in the long run and throw the 'cap' all outta whack.
But if they continue to draft Pro Bowlers, they won't be able to sign them all and they'll go to other teams.

#Packers first round pick Datone Jones says he weighs 285 and will likely stay in the 285 to 290 range.
285-290 is pretty much the minimum weight for a 3-4 DE. Ideally, you'd like to see it a bit higher, but it's OK as long as he doesn't go any lower.
quote:First-round draft choice Datone Jones arrived in Green Bay for the Packers' rookie orientation camp and said he got emotional when he caught his first glimpse of Lambeau Field.
"I couldn’t believe it," said Jones in the Packers locker room this morning. "My first time here, first time seeing it, I felt so emotional, I could see myself in a Green Bay Packers uniform already.”
On his goal this weekend: ”Just to get better in practice every day. That’s where it starts. I’m not really looking ahead to the season. It starts in the meeting rooms. Learn from the older guys. And then coming out in practice and going hard.”
Welcome to Green Bay!

dontcha wanna rephrase that?

Has to be a lot to take in growing up idolizing Reggie White. Then you're sitting in the Packers locker room as a Green Bay Packer thinking to yourself, "Holy crap, HE WAS HERE! He walked out that tunnel!!!"
I'm thinking he's already asked which locker was Reggie's.
I've always had a soft spot for kids that get NFL history. He was meant to be a Packer.

Who pissed Lori Nickel off?
From Chiliya's article:
Who better to have as a neighbor?

Who better to have as a neighbor?
Kate Upton?
No idea if he's going to be great, but he wants to be great. Remains to be seen if he understands what it takes to be great. Being next to Clay won't hurt. Putting Perry on the other side of Clay would be a good idea.

UCLA guys working with USC guys? The horror!
The guy says all the right things and beyond!! Hope he can play to the level he aspires to. Could be a beast.
sounds like a pussy to me ...

Green Bay Press Gazette
by Pete Dougherty on Friday, May 10th, 2013
Lou Spanos, who was Jones’ defensive coordinator at UCLA last season was an assistant defensive coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1995 through 2008, and Washington from ’09 through ’11. In his first season on the UCLA staff last year, he implemented the Dom Capers-Dick LeBeau 3-4 scheme that Capers has been running as the Packers’ defensive coordinator since 2009.
Spanos started learning the system when he joined the Steelers as a scouting intern in 1994, which was Capers’ final season in Pittsburgh. When Capers became the head coach of Carolina the next year, Spanos was promoted to an entry level coaching job and worked on the Steelers’ defensive staff through the ’08 season.
...
Jones said when he opened Capers’ defensive playbook Thursday night, he knew most of the terminology and cruised through the early installations.
“For me it’s like, go to install four and five, because I know the first three installs off the top of my head,” he said. “Let me start learning what some of the other guys do so I can start playing faster.”continue
Cue the ominous music....
Packers’ Datone Jones: Kaepernick can’t keep running like that
Link
Jones is just stating the obvious here. While it probably isn't going to happen in week one, its just a matter of time until he takes a good pop on those toothpick legs of his if he doesn't start being more careful. His legs are skinnier than those of the leanest, lankiest sprinter wide receivers, but they can get away with that since they can count the number of hits from 340 lb NTs they'll take over the course of their careers on one hand.
quote:For his part, Jones says Kaepernick can’t keep running like he did against the Packers, when he gained 181 yards on the ground, the most ever for any quarterback in any NFL game. Jones watched that 49ers-Packers playoff game, and he told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that if Kaepernick tries to do that for a whole season, he won’t last for a whole season.
“I thought he was pretty good,” Jones said, “but I don’t think they’re going to be able to run him like that. He takes one good hit, there goes their season.”

You want to beat SF bad don't you?
Their fans are amongst the worst in the league. When they sucked, I used to go several years at a time without seeing a 49ers hat or jersey here (the most I'd ever see was a faded, circa 1988 bumper sticker on a rusty pickup truck), but once they started winning, oh boy did they love their Niners again. So much so that they felt the need to slam an elbow into my back and scream obscenities at me at Candlestick and on BART. While I'll feel bad for Kaepernick when his knee explodes (the guy is a hell of a player, and he obviously never did anything to me), I'll be laughing my ass off and enjoying the cries of anguish from 49ers "fans". I don't just want the Packers to win in week 1, I want a blowout. Hopefully, Jones and Perry are the answers for this team.
