keep moving

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:23:00 -0500

hey yard... as you seen yesterdays game, we gotta learn to finish games because if we finish those last 5 games all that determined in the last minute of the game we could easily be 10 and 5 but thats the way the cookie crumbles and we just gotta keep on moving. The team the still has the fight and the will to win, we just gotta finish this last game to make history with the detroit lions.

Playing for Pride

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:31:02 -0500

hey yard, well our opportunities are still there but yet so far away, we are basically playing for what is in between our chest plates and pride. Too see who wants it more and is still willing to fight even though the season is not going the way we want it to go. I fully believe we are better than what we really are right now and what our records shows what we have done this season. Even with the guys who are injured still think we have hope considering we have had like 4 or 5 torn acl's and mcls etc. What everyone should know is that the green bay packers are going to continue to fight and never lay down, almost some like the movie 300, "Fight to the death!" LOL. So you can count on us for any game you are to watch we sure make it a good game. So yard just wanted to give you an update of what the team is feeling and out mindsets. later guys

Get something Going

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:40:29 -0500

Hey yard just dropping by to say what's up and to just say how we are feeling about this past weekends game i think we just need to stick together and finish strong and start winning no matter what our record is. It's very hard to sit here and watch some of these teams win when you know your as good as those teams or they shouldn't beat us. But on the other end gotta respect our opponents, tip our hat off to them and keep moving because there is no reason to dwell on lose of the game So I'm still here in green bay with my girlfriend and she is getting ready to train for the worlds championship. so thats exciting, and hopefully if certain situations come up for us to go to the playoffs i'll be going to arizona with here to live with her because her season will be starting thanks yard i'll hit you guys up later

Get it Going

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 16:29:46 -0500

Wheww, well so far the season isn't going like it has planned. but We are working out the kinks everyday to get back to greatness like last year. We have a sense of urgency in the locker room to get things done. Making sure the offense and defense and special teams do that they all need to do to start winning football games and to end up 10 and 6. That is our goal and our mindset right now. On the other hand i've been battling injury of sprained ankles. so yea guys i know you guys are a lil frustrated but trust me were are getting things rolling here soon starting with this weekend against the panthers, who actually when i first came into the NFLl, so i cant for a lil payback again, because the first time we played them we whooped them.

Bengals game, Olympics

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:25:36 -0500

Hey there yard...been a crazy 48 hours with the whole olympics and the swimming and us playing the bengals tonight. I felt really good about our performance and man if we would have kept our 1st string in, we would had killed them. but so yea me and tramon got the nod to start this game because al harris and wood sat out this one out. but it was alot of fun teaching some of the young guys about game time things and just little technique things. if you guys didnt know, we lost 17 to 20 but it also showed alot of progress we made and things we need to clean up on. Araron looked good after a shaky first drive but then came thru big time so that showed a lot of promise. And we shut down chad johnson. i dont think he caught any balls tonight that i know of...and we felt pretty good about the secondary. The olympic swimming relay was nuts. if you didnt see it, you surely did miss a historic moment with the french, very exciting, gave me goosebumps to see an underdog come thru like they did.. congrats to the us swim team...i admire you and your guys will to win and heart!

Favre is Back, Family Night Scrimmage

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 23:53:41 -0500

hey yard, just got done with out family night intersquad scrimmage, and went really well and i guess you all know brett came in to green bay today, if you saw the nfl network channel. so yea the defense played really well and so we just gotta keep playing like we are. just dropped by to say whats up and whats going on my side.

It's Go time for Training Camp

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:59:19 -0500

Training camp is well for me, right now me and tramon williams are battling it out for the nickel spot so its going to be a good fight but all good fun competition and will only make us better in the future and especially right now. So alot of things have been going around about brett farve, and its a complicated situation and for the most part we are letting the front office deal with the problems and situaton with farve, because even though if he is or not with us we still have to be able to win games and so therefore, we can't let us get distracted with the all the issues in the media right now. So i can't wait for the intersquad scrimmage for family comes i ready to play under the lights and the crowd. So i gotta get some sleep guys so I can recover from these double days. We finally have 2moro off so i am going to enjoy that later guys!! keep watch for my girlfriend jacquelyn johnson in the olympics heptathlon...beast!

Last week prep for camp!!

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:20:14 -0500

Its go time!! 3 and half weeks my own butt kicking trying to do everything i can to be ready for this years season. As most of you probably know that i've been playing a lot of positions now. Corner, Safety, Dime, and Nickel back, So i have a lot on my plate this year. Gotta go into training camp to battle everyday during these two a days. I think we got a training camp short too, because i think we only have like 6 two a days this camp because our preseason is so hectic. I hope you guys are ready for a young packers team to continue to be a force to be reckoned with, because we aren't slowing down anytime soon. Again watch my girlfriend in the Olympics, Jacquelyn johnson.. BEAST!! heptathlon

Hey yard!

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:49:41 -0500

Sorry i've been in missing in action but i promise i am back..and will be on constantly for now on. So now about the farve controversy, I know alot of people of heard about alot of things about him retiring and then him coming back. But i think we are going in a different direction. And goin to keep Aaron Rodgers as our starting qb... i think it is time for A Rod to step into the spotlight..dont you?.. So my girlfriend i told you guys about ...that ran traqck for arizona state made the olympic team for beijing..she does the heptathalon. And she finally got the internet so she can get on here and do some blogs for you guys as well so that is very exciting..and so proud of her. Unfortunately i cant go to Beijing with her..but she knows if i could i would. The reason i cant go is because we will be in the middle of training camp. So i can do is watch it on tv and try and get updates as she competes. So you guys try to watch for her and let me know also if you see and im going to try and watch most of it..but sometimes might be sleeping getting ready for two a days. catch you guts later

Hey what's good Yard!?

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:30:35 -0500

Hey yard.. just wanted to let you guys know that OTA's is going really well, been playing and offseason workouts been definitely helping out. All the running I did and stuff during the off season working with my old db coach from college. Actually, matter of fact, he actually has an internship here with the Packers...who would of thought, right? But yea my girl jacquelyn johnson the track star is coming to visit me this weekend..so i am very amped about that. I know you guys have a lot of questions about Aaron Rodgers... asking if he is going to be ready and all. And you know what, I have all the confidence in the world in him. I definitely think we will not be missing too much of a beat coming in to this season. We have 2 and a half more weeks of OTA's and then our mini camp. So we still have a ways to go but like i said things are goin well... and running with a fire in the chest..because i want it so bad! i'll keep u updated about the rest of the week..you guys take it easy!

Hey Yard!

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:35:23 -0500

Hey yard .. Just came on to say whats up...just trying to get in better shape than I was last year. I have been doing spin classes and yoga to keep up my flexibility and conditioning. We have like 2 more weeks until we actually start playing football and i'm so excited because we have some good competition coming in at the receivers and cant wait to get first crack at them. Also i went to Arizona this past weekend to watch one of my friends run in the pac 10 championship. Her name is Jacquelyn Johnson and she does the heptathalon and i watched her break like 4 records when i was there. She is 6 time national champion and like a 9 time all american. I'm going to try and see if I can get her on the yard to write some blogs...and see if i can pull a few strings. She is very succesful at what she does a great person and loves to compete. i think she broke the meet record, the stadium record and the pac 10 record, for the heptahalon for points. She might be able to beat me in a race. And even more crazy is that her coach after she is done running she wants to go pro. She will def'ly be at the summer olympics in beijing. I tried to see if i could go but we will be in the middle of the football season. So you're watching TV and you see the olympic trials or the nationals meet...keep your eyes peeled for this girl...she is a force to be reckoned with.

Green Bay's Draft

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:17:38 -0500

So we first started off drafting a WR, but I think we might move him to tight end because we need one. Jordy Nelson is 6'2 220 lbs. I don't know, that's pretty big, but if he stays at WR then we will be a pretty physical team at that position. We also picked up Brian Brohm from Louisville, so I will have many opportunities to be a living hell being around the ball trying to pick off his balls. And we ended up picking a corner in the final 2nd round... but let it be known he better be ready to compete... Patrick Lee from Auburn, let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!

Things Goin' Smooth

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:42:44 -0500

Hey yard ! just came on to say whats up and say the few things that were on my mind. We start last week which is called IPW's basically standing for Individual player Workouts. And what we do is that we have meeting and stuff about scheming other teams, and review coverages that we did during the season and correct some mistakes that we know now and that we did wrong during the season. We also look at some technique things that we do not do now..but what we did in the past to learn from it. I was good to see that stuff to let you know what not to do anymore. And i think i can speak for all the defensive backs that were in the room with me... that we have come a long way. So after meeting we do a walk thru in the gym. after that we lift weights for about an hour and half then we go to the field and we run some drills. Specifically for your position, because thats what these workouts are for, to improve what you need to work as a player. Because some players have different weaknesses and also different strengths. Other than that i was Santa Barbera this past weekend hanging out with some friends and i had a great time running along the beach looking at the ocean, i was even lucky enough to have dolphins swimming the direction i was running, so i thought that was a treat to see and sun was setting at the same time. Unbelievable!! So this weekend i was picked to be at the draft party this weekend so that should be fun..but at the same kinda weird because they might draft a corner, so we'll eventually battle for a spot so yea..just wanted to say whats up.. stay true and compete in anything you do!!
