AS PROMISED...

A follow up to Nick Barnett's tweet about meeting new defensive coordinator Dom Capers... "Ok meet with capers so far I have a really good feeling about him.. Also the strengh program is real good!!" Barnett also added soon after, "Kevin Greene seems like he's going to be intense LOL imagine him moss together whoa!!!" Nick seems to take his involvement with Twitter quite seriously; in the past twelve hours he has tweeted on his own nine times, in addition to responding to fellow Twitter users' questions. I like this.

A LITTLE HUMOR ABOUT KEVIN GREENE

So I just got done watching "The Wrestler," and wow, what a movie. I suggest it to everyone. It shows a whole different side of the professional wrestling world, and Mickey Rourke does an amazing job as Randy "The Ram" Robinson. Watching this movie triggered some memories of days long, long ago. Well, not really that long ago. But the late 90's, for me, is half a lifetime ago.

Kevin Greene came to mind. And for those of you who don't remember, I wonder how many Packers will be bringing this up to him.

Greene had a few brief stints with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) back in the late 90's, and his original partner, former bear Steve McMichael, became his biggest enemy after breaking up their tag team in favor of the "Four Horsemen." Greene defeated McMichael after returning from a brief time away from the sport, to get his revenge on his former partner. Check out this interview MouthpieceSports did with McMichael about his wrestling days. But isn't it only fitting that when the two faced off head to head, the Packer got the best of the Bear?

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.
