Green Bay 2008-2009 Season Preview

Personally, I think the Packers will have another nine-plus win season and make yet another run in the playoffs!

Sure they have the loss of Bret Favre, but a still young and fairly mobile Aaron Rodgers could certinally direct a powerful and explosive, yet efficent, offense.

As we saw in the game against Dallas, Rodgers who had not thrown a pass all season, steped up and led the offense to multiple long drives. He showed his mobility as he scrambled for a few first downs. I feel that he will step up and it will be a long shot, but maybe make the Pro Bowl.

The return of a healthy Greg Jennings and Ryan Grant will be huge for this team. As those two continue to develop into Pro-Bowl type players, this offense keeps getting better.

The return of always reliable Donald Driver will also be a key part of this offense. Also, how about the emergence of James Jones and Donald Lee? Those two could also play a big part in this offense. The O-line is young, but gets better every year, as a unmobile Bret Favre's sack total has gone down each of the last three years!

Possibly one of the best defenses in the league keeps on getting more experience and almost all return at full strength. This defense is the youngest in the league. As they get more playing time, they will continue to get better.

You can't say enough about Aaron Kampman and his passion for the game. I don't think he ever gives up! Barnett, Harris, and Woodson are huge parts of this defense! How about Poppinga and how good he did in the playoffs? He played like the defensive player of the year! I will look for him to do great things this year!

As the NFL's youngest team continues to get more experience, they will become more of a feared team in the NFL. I look for them to make the playoffs this year as possibly a wild card team, but they will play many close games and possibly supprise some teams down the stretch and through out the season!

Any thoughts or Questions?
