King looks more suited to press with his length and arms. But mYbe they don't trust him in that role.

I'm not sure he has the speed for it. His combine times were great, but it seldom has shown on the field. Wear and tear of injuries?

I think King gets a little too much hate sometimes. Yes, he's limited and comparing his play next to Jaire in the other corner spot doesn't cast him the best light all the time, but he's far from the worst CB I've watched play significant snaps for the Packers.

Not saying I'd pay him in FA, just that we could do better and also do worse than Kevin King.

4 1st team All Pros all on offense. Jaire doesn't make 1st team

Za'Darius last season and Jaire this year. What an absolute joke that neither guy made 1st team All-Pro.

Its a snub but a slight snub. I'd rank Ramsey as the best CB in football still and its pretty hard to keep a CB with 10 interceptions off the 1st team.

Ramsey is pretty easily the one I'm leaving off the team.

Cool article about our terrible special teams and why it can sort of be a good thing.

Ramsey made it on reputation from past seasons.

Love how Paul buries a big factor in the middle of the article after he's long **** on Scott.

Now it must be said that most of those punts were “smart” punts

.

Scott was good this season given what he had to do.

Wasn't a huge year for Lazard, but you guys that were high on him deserve some props. I know he timed in the just ok range, but after watching that 58 TD, he seems to have more 'game speed' than I gave him credit for. Good on you guys.

I think we lucked out. We'll retain him for much cheaper than we could have because of his injury. He never seemed to find his footing after his return. Even so, if you factor in his most recent playoff performance into his season, that's more or less an 800 yard pace over the course of 16 games. I think he's a rock solid 3 in this league and am interested to see what he can do with a full offseason and a clean bill of health. I also had Tonyan, so maybe I am just the MagicGiannison of this receiving group. Optimists win.

With that being said, can't have those drops in these next couple of games.

He's also so important in the run game, he's like having an extra TE.

Yeah, Lazard is one of the best run-blocking WR's I've ever seen. Dude's like a 6'3 Hines Ward (without the douchebag complex).

Rip TT.

While I've been reminiscing about that 2010 team, that was all Ted Thompson. He Will always be remembered for assembling that squad.

His health went poor fairly quick those last couple of years, seems it got worse into retirement.

Thanks for giving us Rodgers, Woodson, and the rest.
