Atari Bigby is a waste of a roster spot

Yup, I said it Atari Bigby is hurt again if this injury is serious enough to warrant IR I would NOT be surprise if Bigby is gone next year and is replaced by Anthony Levine on the 53 man roster this year or next year. after 2007, Bigby has gotten hurt every year (I think). Once Morgan Burnett comes back next year and a solid backup behind Burnett in Charlie Peprah, and the return of Anthony Smith, Bigby's services may no longer be needed in Green Bay. He is plain and simple a waste of a roster spot.

This week's Game Balls

The Game Ball on Offense goes to Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings-they flat-out torched Rookie Chris Cook and whoever else was attempting to cover GJ85.
Defense- You know what, the ENTIRE Defense deserves this they shout down the vikings offense in the Vikings house. but if I had to pick one or two people from here it'd be AJ Hawk and Tramon Williams
Special Teams- three people here, Shawn Slocum, Tim Masthay and Mason Crosby. A Shank for Masthay is 31 yards, 31 YARDS! if anyone remembers the Derrick Frost 1/2 year this was his best kick.

The Steal of the 2011 Draft could be Isaac Odim.

Yes, I know it’s only November but it's never too early to talk about the Draft. This year, I think the steal could be in later rounds. Minnesota-Duluth's Isaac Odim ( 6'0", 215 lbs). I have Seen Odim play live several times, have he could be a stud in the NFL. Odim had a scholarship to Yale, until an incident involving 2 women lost his scholarship there, he then went to Saginaw Valley State, then to Rochester Community and Technical College then to Duluth. Odim Is coming off a torn meniscus he tore at practice earlier this year. He has stated he will be ready for his pre-draft workouts. Besides, we all know how much Ted Thompson loves his small school draft picks.

Take a look at his UMD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_rysh7hBBQ , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjRnzYL08Bg) RCTC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_tVsTUwEE) and HS highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHwO_6pDjM)

Why Clay Matthews will not win the NFL MVP

The MVP debate is on but its almost certain that Clay Matthews will not win it but he should. Matthews should and WILL win Defensive Player of the Year but not MVP. I think Michael Vick or Tom Brady will take those honors. The last defensive player to win MVP was Lawrence Taylor in 1986. I think for Matthews to win it he needs to break the single-season sack record held by Michael Strahan of 22.5 set in 2001 (he needs 12.5 sacks in the last 7 games) to be even consider an candidate. I’m not sure Clay Matthews will do it I hope he does but I just think he won’t.
