Packers outside linebacker coach Mike Smith hasn’t been shy in the past about how he values quarterback pressures and hits just as much as he values sacks. Last August, Smith went on a near-five minute rant about the difference between good rushers who only get sacks, vs. great rushers who get sacks and pressures. “Sacks…
‘I still own you’: 5 times Packers QB Aaron Rodgers owned the Bears
When Packers future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers speaks, the National Football League and its fans listen. When he yells, the whole world listens. “I’ve owned you all my f—ing life.

Packers lay an egg in opener: Who is to blame?
In the near-48 hours since the conclusion of the Green Bay Packers’ game against New Orleans on Sunday, I keep thinking that the loss the Packers suffered was some type of dream. A bad nightmare, more like it. That surely could not have been the Green Bay Packers that I saw dust through the regular…
