WHILE ON THE DEFENSE

Another hiring that I'm personally very excited about is Kevin Greene as the outside linebackers' coach. I was relatively young for most of his playing career, but I remember being scared for my life of that guy. He played outside linebacker in the 3-4 for most of his career, so he should know inside and out the position he is coaching. Not to mention he had 160 career sacks, most ever for a linebacker. He says he has "high hopes" for Aaron Kampman's transition to his new position, and he should be able to give him a lot of help. Kampman is also known for his pass rushing, and Greene should be able to aid him in learning any changes needed to do it at the new position. If Greene brings half of the passion and intensity he brought the field as a player in his new job as a coach, his presence should ease the transition for the outside linebackers of Dom Capers 3-4. When being introduced to reporters Tuesday, the Greene Machine was quoted as saying, "You know what, I feel like head-butting someone right now, and you're the closest to me." I love it.

This is my first true sports writing venture, and I hope to one day be one of the most read blogs about the Green Bay Packers. Knowing how die hard Packers fans are, I hope to create a place where they can get the news about their favorite team on a daily basis, while also commenting and starting discussions on their own. While also commenting on news stories about the team, I hope to be able to give some opinion on possible moves the team should make (ie free agents, draft) and anything else that I feel necessary about the green and gold.
