    After three straight All-Pro nods, David Bakhtiari still plenty motivated

    GREEN BAY – He’s not going to share it, but he still has the list. Back in 2015, David Bakhtiari was on the verge of completing his third season as the Packers’ starting left tackle when a nasty ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a victory at Oakland put everything temporarily on hold...

    Inbox: It was storybook

    Thomas from Burlington, WI What may be overlooked in this Rodgers/MM/MLF conversation is game strategy.

    Inbox: He’d have to be considered

    Todd from Brighton, MI Will the Packers face back-to-back rookie quarterbacks when they take on the Giants and Redskins late in the year? It isn’t who you play, but when you play them, right? True, but there’s no way to know in June if New York and Washington will be turning their offenses...

    Calling it a career

    To say Engel appreciates Burruss’ guidance over the last two decades in general and the last few years in particular would be a glaring understatement. “The opportunity to teach I think has never been far from him,” Engel said. “To learn from his experiences and for him to freely offer those...

    Inbox: Does anyone care now?

    Jeremiah from Madison, WI Someone had asked about Tony Romo being a HOF QB and the idea is often quietly dismissed. In contrast, the consensus seems to be that Philip Rivers is a HOFer even if he stops playing. That sounds correct, but I'm wondering why when comparing the two players. Neither...

    Inbox: It’s officially arrived

    Taylor from Story City, IA With a new coach and new offensive playbook do the veterans play more during the preseason to see what works and what doesn't? Also with all the new defensive veteran free agents, do they play more to get comfortable with the new defense? I think it’s natural to...

    Packers focus on team-building, play paintball

    "A lot of it is leadership, kind of, in action," Ruegamer said. "You're getting paintballs shot at you and you've got to figure out the course pretty quick. You're in close quarters. "You have a limited amount of time because there's paintballs flying, smoke grenades. So it's kind of fun to...

    Inbox: That’s how you do it

    David from Hilliard, OH Picking up blitzes seems to be an important, yet difficult responsibility of a rookie running back's development in the NFL. What training techniques do the Packers use to help the backs learn how to pick up such a variety of blitzes? Is it mostly film study or live...

    Wrapping up the Packers’ offseason, Matt LaFleur looking for more

    “I think you always restart. You hit the reset button every time,” LaFleur said. “It just gives them another opportunity.
