In eleven games Tramon has had 46 tackles, 41 of those solo, 1 sack and 4 INT’s.  He’s definitely proven to be a stand out corner back.

The Green Bay Packers have increased the number of players on the Injured Reserve list by two today. Linebacker Brandon Chillar, who had tallied 18 tackles an INT and a sack this season, suffered a season ending injury during the Atlanta Falcons game. The second player added to IR is Tight End Spencer Havner.  Havner, was cut by the Packers earlier this season but was re-signed 18 days ago, after the Detroit Lions cut him from their squad.  He suffered an injured hamstring on Sunday. The official total for the number of players on IR for the Packers is now [...]

The Green Bay Packers will be wearing the vintage look this Sunday as they take on the San Francisco 49er’s at Lambeau Field.  They will be wearing the 1929 throw back jerseys with a few minor modifications. The navy blue and gold jersey’s have the NFL mandatory name plate added in addition to enlarging the numbers to meet NFL specifications.  The bright yellow helmet with the signature “G” logo will be sitting in the locker room as well.  The replacement helmet will be a solid brown, with no logo at all.

I have to say that I am really bummed by this Green Bay Packers loss to the Atlanta Falcons.  Mostly because I forgot what it feels like to lose a game and because I think I may have jinxed the team. I posted a story this weekend about Rodgers being the only NFL QB with no fumble http://lombardiave.com/2010/11/27/packers-qb-aaron-rodgers-has-a-grip/.  Thinking it was an amazing stat that should be shared among the fans, and having no idea he’d be responsible for goal line rushing attempts.  I think he’d probable still have fumbled, even if I never wrote that piece. But just in [...]

Week 11 is in the record books and there are a lot of interesting stats out there.  Some of the most interesting are the stats of Aaron Rodgers.

In 10 games, he has passed for 2601 yards and has 19 passing touchdowns.  He also has 194 yards rushing with 3 rushing TD’s.  Then there’s the sacks, he has been sacked 20 times.  All of this and he has been able to keep a [...]
