Then we play our interview with Packers rookie running back Eddie Lacy and get into the changing face of the Packers’ running attack and whether the ground game could ever overtake the aerial assault in Green Bay.

Railbird Central Podcast: Shuffling the Deck on the Packers Offensive Line

contact@cheeseheadtv.com (Cheesehead TV) — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:06:26 +0000

According to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report, the Packers are making some major changes on the offensive line by switching Bryan Bulaga and Josh Sitton to the left side. That means T.J. Lang will be playing right guard. And one player out of a group of Marshall Newhouse, Don Barclay and Derek Sherrod will be the right tackle. We break it all down.

“Trader” Ted lived up to his nickname on Friday evening as the Green Bay Packers traded down three times on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, twice with the San Francisco 49ers and once with the Miami Dolphins. “Jersey” Al Bracco joins me to take a look at the general manager’s trading ways as the Packers currently have ten draft choices on Saturday alone. We discuss what positions the Packers might address and potential players they might take.

Immediately after the Packers made Alabama running back Eddie Lacy their second round selection on Friday night, we went on air here at Cheesehead TV for instant reaction and analysis of the pick. I enlisted the help of our very own Jayme Joers who did the running backs section of our Pro Football Draft Preview guide. We talked about the power element Lacy will bring to the Packers ground game, but also touched upon his hamstring injury and debated whether his dedication can be called into question.

Podcast: Knee-Jerk Reaction to Packers First Round Pick, Datone Jones

contact@cheeseheadtv.com (Cheesehead TV) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 05:35:25 +0000

As soon as the Packers made their first round selection on Thursday evening, Cheesehead TV wasted no time breaking down the choice of UCLA defensive lineman Datone Jones. I enlisted the help of “Pigskin” Paul Guillemette who did the defensive line analysis for our 2013 edition of Pro Football Draft Preview. We look at the positives and the negatives of Jones, and as you’ll hear, there are more than a few questions about how he’ll fit and how he’ll be utilized in Dom Capers’ defensive system.

Prediction Machine: NFL Draft Interview with Paul Bessire

contact@cheeseheadtv.com (Cheesehead TV) — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:29:34 +0000

On a special Tuesday edition of Railbird Central, we bring in Paul Bessire of PredictionMachine.com for a pre-NFL Draft interview. I personally love Bessire as a guy who’s not afraid to make some outside-the-box projections. Some of his rankings are unconventional, but it’s good to get that perspective too. We pick his brain on a couple players who he has ranked among the top three players at their position: Fresno State safety Phillip Thomas, Baylor wide receiver Terrance Williams, Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones, Florida State pass rusher Tank Carradine and Toledo inside linebacker Dan Molls.

Packers Draft Podcast: Safety is Green Bay’s “No. 1 Need”

contact@cheeseheadtv.com (Cheesehead TV) — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 22:08:09 +0000

On Friday I joined host Jimmie Kaska on the “Water Cooler” at Eau Claire’s 1400 AM WBIZ. We talked about the NFL Draft in-depth for two segments, in which we discussed the Packers’ approach taken by general manager Ted Thompson and then broke down a few of the top prospects in this year’s position by position. Of particular attention is the part where we discuss the secondary, where I call safety the “No. 1 need” for the Packers.
