  1. Congratulations to Linsley and Dix for earning this honor. Great job by both. We would not have gotten this far into the playoffs without their contributions this season. A great job by TT in draft which also included R. Rodgers and D. Adams. And we have yet to see J. Janis, C. Hubbard or Abbrededis take the field yet. In 2-3 seasons we may be looking back at one of the greatest Packer draft classes of all time. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since ’61

    1. I agree Since’ 61. We got huge contributions from those two. Almost pro bowl level help. Throw in the others who are also starting to catch fire and it’s no wonder we’ll be in the super bowl after we defeat Seattle on Sunday.

  2. 2013 is shaping up to be a gem of a draft for the Packers personnel department. And Viking/Bear trolls say this is a team in decline.. lol.. such hate…

  3. As much as you gotta love the high draft picks, Linsley has been a real gem. He stepped in and has done nothing but perform. I love his run blocking

  4. Mike Holmgren on why Packers lost to the Seahawks in the 1st game of season and how to correct that.

    Why Boykin is playing instead of Janis:

    Of course the same coaching staff and MM think that Brad Jones is just fine so take it FWIW. Janis agrees for the record but what is he supposed to say. Some here have said Janis needs seasoning and the scouts say he was a little raw. He has the speed, size, etc just needs experience and maybe he beats out Boykin next year just as Davante Adams has beat out Boykin this year. IF Janis becomes a star that was a monster draft.

    1. If anything Janis is our kickoff returner next season and probably our no. 4 or 5 receiver. He’ll have the edge on the rest because he will or should know the special teams ahead of the others.
