1. I think this is likely Brett's last year, all his family is in Mississippi and he sold his house in Green Bay, not the actions of someone looking to stay. Pack will feel less pressure for him to stay with Rodgers on roster.
2. I think the loss of Rivera and Whale is overrated. Yes they were premier guards but that is the one line position most easily replaced and whoever our guards are they will be surrounded by All Pro players at the center and tackles. Line is where teams need to play as a unit and still a whole bunch of talent there.
3. Sherman is a good coach, was not a good GM, but I don't see any reason to not keep him.
4. At one time four of our biggest salaries hits were on the DL with Johnson, Hunt, Reynolds and KGB yet the line was poor. That has continued to hurt us. That was Wolfe and Shermans fault.
5. I do not think our offense will be as good this year, especially if Walker sits out (I seriously doubt he will). But I am becoming more optimistic about our defense especially if we can find a way to sign an experienced corner. It will be better based on coaching alone. I never understood how a defense that over and over again showed weakness in the secondary along with the DB running around like chickens (Under Donatelly) could be corrected by making the coach in charge of that secondary the defensive coordinator. Clearly Slowak was the problem not the solution.
