Green Bay Packers Safety Atari Bigby Joins Al Harris on PUP List

Green Bay Packers tickets are now available for all home and road games, and the Pack goes up against KC in the final preseason game tonight. 

It looks like Atari Bigby will join Al Harris on the sidelines as they are now on the PUP list.  It will be another six weeks before we find out if either man can play at their position in 2010.  There were games where Al Harris was missed, and less so in other match ups.  Morgan Burnett has had a great camp this year, and we hope that there will be few bumps in the road. 

Frank Zombo will be the first to tell you that he doesn't expect to make the starting squad.  He moved up to the second team when injuries pressed the Packers to find someone to fill in for Cyril Obiozori.  Zombo was the only defender to make a hit on the quarterback in last Saturday's game.  Yes, it was only a preseason hit, but Zombo's performance did turn some heads. 

Frank Zombo was not drafted, had to drop weight in order to compete for a position he didn't play in college, and then gained attention in week one of training camp.  He was hobbled with an ankle injury before the scrimmage, but is back on the field a bit sooner than the coaches thought he would be.  If the injuries at outside linebacker continue, and Zombo continues to impress, he may make the final roster after all.

Green Bay Packers Preseason 2010

With one game down, and three more to go, the Green Bay Packers will work on their weak spots.  Aaron Rodgers and the offensive line looked sharp.  The 3-4 defense did not.  Both punters hoping to make the team played well.  That position has yet to be a lock for either player.  Some say that it is good to come away from a preseason game with work to do.  The Packers defense certainly gave up big yards to a plucky Cleveland Browns first string. 

Green Bay Packers Coaches Focus on Special Teams

Shawan Slocum has his work cut out for him.  As the coach in charge of special teams play, we all know that his goal is to improve what could be considered to be the weakest link of the 2009 Packers.  From the holding penalties, to the blown man to man coverage, the Packers have pleanty to work on.  At the end of the season, The Green Bay Packers placed second from the bottom in rankings.  Seeing that they still made the playoffs, imagine what could have been, if the Green Bay managed that part of the game a bit better.

Special Teams Practice Focus Points for 2010

• Reduce all holding penalties
• Develop better one on one match ups
• Reduce all overall penalties
• Improve blocking
• Find a punter that can get the ball down the field

Packers Punters Compete for Position 

Chris Bryan is competing with Tim Masthay for the coveted spot of starting punter.  Bryan has a weak spot in that he has to learn how to hold a field goal snap.  Given time, Bryan should sharpen that aspect of his game. Packers preseason tickets for Lambeau Field are now on sale.    

Brett Favre Retires from Vikings

Brett Favre has decided that he will not be back for another season.  The Vikings announced that they will not expect Favre to change his mind this time.  With the beatings he took in 19 seasons, he has the right to call it quits.  He retired in 2008, 2009, and again in 2010, so who knows if the Green Bay Packers VS Minnesota Vikings Tickets will be a hot item this season.
