Take the NFL day by day and enjoy it - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

April 16, 2011 8:09 p.m. |

The Green Bay Packers won the 2011 Super Bowl in 2005 when Aaron Rodgers fell to them at No. 24 in the first round.

We could mention other opportune/astute draft picks in recent years that helped make them champions more than two months ago, including Clay Matthews, B.J. Raji, Jordy Nelson, Josh Sitton, Desmond Bishop, A.J. Hawk, Greg Jennings, etc., etc.

Point being, circumstances occasionally change.

Currently in Minneapolis, for example, a federal judge is baby-sitting the owners and players while they fight over the $9 billion pacifier that decides when the NFL will next play football games as the commissioner negotiates on the side with talk of a postponed '12 Super Bowl and such.

But nothing else really changes if you happen to be one of the parties caught in the middle.

If you're Ted Thompson looking for an edge in the draft, it's locked-in, blinders-on business as usual here in the moment.

If you're a fan looking for a coping mechanism for the silliness out of your control affecting an industry that has none of your interests at heart, ask yourself:

What would TT do?

As tiresome as the phrase seems whenever a player incurs a less-than-catastrophic injury, aren't we all day-to-day in the big picture?

Now that Philosophy 101 class is dismissed, here's all we know:

The NFL will conduct its draft, beginning a week from Thursday. There will be the usual blend of cheers and catcalls from inside the Mall of Lambeau. Tourists will walk by 50th and 6th in New York City without even knowing the NFL has taken out a three-day lease on Radio City Music Hall for the annual event guaranteed to make some of its franchises look smart but most of them look dumb.

So, if you're looking for advice on the labor row that may or may not spoil your fall/winter, enjoy the draft - or not - while greed, as it always does in real life or diversions involving angry large men violently greeting each other, eventually finds its level.

Indulge yourself in the day, likely sometime this week, when the Packers' schedule is released. Treat it like the quasi-holiday it has become in Wisconsin. Plan those trips as if they're going to happen as sure as April frost, but maybe hold off on guaranteeing them with a major credit card.

Naturally, the runaway No. 1 question anybody in my seat gets right now is whether the NFL will figure this thing out.

Well, sure, why not? It's too much of a money-grab to drag on past a regular-season game or two, right?

And while you're at it, could you please pass the Mayan calendar?

It's sort of like asking what the Packers should do in the first round from the champ's 32nd slot.

Huh?

Their needs - an outside linebacker, maybe a defensive lineman - are fairly obvious. But the draft being the fickle dance partner it is, immediate needs vs. future considerations are unpredictable enough that you should never run out and buy it a carnation.

As we've established, nothing was more important to a Super Bowl year than five seasons prior when Rodgers dropped into the Packers' lap while Brett Favre was still productive and healthy.

On the flip side, how did that Matthews-Raji first-round tandem in '09 work out as a means for filling in the 3-4 blanks?

So with their first pick in the 2011 draft, the Green Bay Packers select Corey Liuget, defensive tackle, University of Illinois. And the lockout will end, conveniently enough, in time for the fourth preseason game.

Or Thompson will trade up to get outside linebacker Von Miller of Texas A&M, because Mike Sherman said it was OK. And Matt Schabert will quarterback the Packers' first replacement game this season.

It's like a famous pro football freak once said. If you're going to buy the ticket, you've got to be prepared to take the ride.

NFL Draft 2011: Why the Pittsburgh Steelers Shouldn't Draft an Offensive Lineman - Bleacher Report

During the build up for the Super Bowl of last year between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was trying to determine the most important player on the Steelers' roster.

The obvious choices on the field were Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu and to a lesser extent, because of the Packers aversion to running, Casey Hampton.

Eventually I settled on none of the three.  The article actually took a look at Sean Kugler.

Who is Sean Kugler, you ask?  What position does he play? 

He doesn't play.  He coaches...very well!

Sean Kugler was appointed as the Steelers' offensive line coach before last season.  He replaced Larry Zierlein after the team gave up a league leading 50 sacks the season before.

The appointment was met with curiosity as he had coached an offensive line in Buffalo that gave up 46 sacks in 2009.

Last year, the Steelers' offensive line was anchored by an all-pro rookie at center.  As impressive a player as Maurkice Pouncey is, it would be naive to suggest that Kugler didn't have some input on his performances.  Kugler got the best out of an offensive line that, by the end of the season, featured just one of the original starting five entering training camp.

With this patched-up group of pass protectors, Ben Roethlisberger had one of his best seasons.  Roethlisberger threw only five interceptions during the regular season.  There were a few reasons for this: 

He was healthier. His lighter frame made him faster and allowed him to escape pressure or even run with the ball.  This in turn reduced the number of poor decisions he made. 

His release.  The quarterback took the time during his four-game suspension to work on his mechanics. He got the ball out noticeably quicker, which allowed his receivers to receive the ball on time and gave defenders less time to get in position to pick off passes.

Most significantly, however, Roethlisberger was under less pressure last season.  He had more time to throw as his offensive line created a better pocket for him to stand in. 

The improvement in run blocking allowed Rashard Mendenhall to gain 1,273 yards and put his name among the elite running backs in the league.  The overall effect of this was that the Steelers' running game returned to a respectable level.  Opposing pass rushers couldn't pin their ears back and hunt down the quarterback.

The Steelers may have upgraded the wide receiving corp last season that contributed to their proficiency on offense.  However, you cannot overlook the improvement in the offense line as a key contributor also.

You've probably noticed by now that I haven't mentioned how many sacks the Steelers gave up last season.  It was 43.  There are two reasons why this number doesn't bother me. 

Should the Steelers draft an offensive lineman in the first round?

Should the Steelers draft an offensive lineman in the first round?

• Yes

• No

• Only if the talent is there

• Total votes: 7

Firstly, Ben Roethlisberger is always going to be sacked.  This is the way he plays, Steelers fans for the most part understand that you have to take the good with the bad with No. 7 under center. 

What is more important is how many turnovers Roethlisberger commits.  That is something that can be prevented by better offensive line play.  Roethlisberger is not scared to throw the ball while under duress or hold onto it for lengthy periods, which is when the risky plays ensue.

Secondly, the injuries.  Not to be repeating myself, but the team played the majority of the season without left tackle Max Starks and the whole season without Willie Colon.  Flozell Adams had a great season, but he is definitely a better run blocker than pass blocker.  Jonathan Scott was solid but his pass blocking is nowhere near to the standard of Max Starks.

Sean Kugler has proven that he can work with a less than stellar cast on his offensive line. 

The argument could be made that if he had better pieces, the Steelers could make the line a position of strength.  Who's to say that he couldn't do this with the Steelers' original starters when healthy. 

The problem with taking offensive linemen in the draft is that there are bigger holes for the Steelers to fill elsewhere.

They may have made the Super Bowl last season, but there is a glaring hole at cornerback that needs filling while the defensive line was old half a decade ago.

As things stand right now, Bryant McFadden is the team's No. 1 corner.  Ike Taylor is likely to return, but even he didn't have a great season last year.  Taylor is definitely good enough to remain as the Steelers' starter but could be tempted away by a bigger contract elsewhere.

Presuming that Taylor does return, that doesn't so much remove the problem as it does lessen its severity.  The Steelers were 12th against the pass during last year's regular season.  The secondary relies too much on Troy Polamalu as the only impact player.  Without him they are much worse than what the statistics tell you.

Even with Polamalu, the defense was easily dismantled by the only elite quarterbacks it faced last year. 

Drew Brees threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-10 victory early in the season.  Tom Brady had 350 yards and three touchdowns before Aaron Rodgers rocketed his team to a Super Bowl ring with 304 yards and three touchdowns.  The team had one interception in those three losses when Ike Taylor caught an under-thrown pass by Drew Brees.  It was one of only two interceptions for Taylor all season.

Picking 31st in the draft, it will be tough to get value at corner.  The potential to trade up is always there because the Steelers have very few roster spots available as well as an aggressive general manager in Kevin Colbert. 

Realistically, however, it makes more sense to pick up a defensive lineman.

This year's draft is considered to be one of the better drafts for defensive linemen in the past few seasons.  Replicating the success of Ziggy Hood from two seasons ago or picking up a successor to Casey Hampton should be the team's number one priority.  As of last season, Hood was the only defensive lineman under the age of 30.  It must be remembered as well that Hood wasn't the starter coming into the season.

Aaron Smith will likely return as the starter next season.  He will be 35 when the season begins.  Casey Hampton will be 34 by the time opening day comes around, while Brett Keisel will turn 32 within the first month.

There is no worry about each player's performance, but they do have precious few years left in them as a unit.  This would be okay if the Steelers had any form of backups that were being groomed but they do not.

Drafting an offensive lineman may seem like a great option for the Steelers right now, but realistically, the team should look towards the defensive side of the ball.

At least in the early rounds, anyway.

NFL Draft 2011: Will the Green Bay Packers Trade Up for Von Miller? - Bleacher Report

If there's one thing clear in Green Bay, it's the fact that this Packers team doesn't have many needs.

Coming off a Super Bowl victory during a season which featured 15 players being placed on IR, it's clear this team is loaded with talent across the board.

So where does a team with so much depth go during the draft?

Well, one option that's been thrown around has been trading several picks in order to move up the board and address one of the Packers few needs with a bang- outside linebacker.

One player that looks like he will be a top five pick is Von Miller, and he is exactly what the Packers are looking for.

He couldn't fit in more perfectly as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 system. 

Now, some of you may be wondering how outside linebacker is a need when we have Clay Matthews.

Well, it's simple really. As much as us Packer fans like to believe that Frank Zombo and Erik Walden and Brad Jones are all good players, the fact is that when you're playing opposite somebody as talented as Clay Matthews at outside linebacker, your job really isn't that difficult.

That's not to take anything away from Zombo, Walden, or Jones, but the fact is that if the Green Bay Packers put somebody of Von Miller's talent level opposite Clay Matthews, then it's almost scary to even begin to ponder just how lethal the Green Bay Packers pass rush would be.

But now that we've addressed why Miller would fit in, let's talk about the real question: Would Ted Thompson ever trade several draft picks to move into the top five?

If you look back at Thompson's track record, he's never really been a big fan of moving up the board. In fact, he's always preferred to move down the board and collect draft picks.

However, just two years ago he saw a kid from Southern Cal that he wanted and didn't hesitate to make his move up the board to pick him. That kids name was Clay Matthews, and he's now an All-Pro.

Whether or not the Packers will trade up for Von Miller remains to be seen, but I'll tell you one thing right now and it's something you can take to the bank: If Ted Thompson is willing to trade up for Von Miller, he's going to be a superstar.

Because trust me, Ted Thompson doesn't move up the board for just anyone.

Pia Toscano's Post-Idol Interview

On Thursday night, most of America was shocked to find out that Pia Toscano was going home. The morning after her elimination, Pia hopped on a press call and she had a positive out look on the show and her future.

If given the chance, would Pia have done anything differently? "Absolutely not. I feel like if you make a mistake, it's just helping you grow. You learn from those mistakes, so I wouldn't change a thing. I truly agree with everything that the judges said to me-all their constructive criticism. I've tried to work on my weaknesses, and I will continue to do so."

Judge Randy Jackson frequently advises the contestants not to sing "The Big Three": Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston. Pia wasn't scared away from covering songs by those nearly unattainable voices, and the risk paid off. "I like to challenge myself, and I like to take risks. Those are singers that I've grown up listening to, so I just tried my best with them, and they went over well. So I'm just thankful that everybody enjoyed my performances."

Pia sang ballads the first several weeks of the competition. Per the judges' advice, Pia switched it up this week and sang an up-tempo song, Ike & Tina Turner's "River Deep Mountain High." Does she think that's why she was eliminated? "No, it's nobody's fault, and the judges were absolutely right. I needed to change it up, and I was really excited about this performance and ... read more

2011 NBA Playoffs & Schedule: Las Vegas Odds Favor LA Lakers - Gather.com

The 2011 NBA Playoffs are just days away, and already the money is flowing through the Las Vegas casinos like water. Millions of dollars are wagered every year on the NBA playoffs. When it comes to betting on sports in Las Vegas, the NBA playoffs are second only to the NFL regular season and the Super Bowl!

So who do Las Vegas odds makers think will win the 2011 NBA Championship title?

The L.A. Lakers!

The Lakers are a 2/1 favorite in most casinos, meaning most people believe that Kobe Bryant and the Lakers will be the last team standing and holding up the Larry O' Brien trophy once again.

Behind the L.A. Lakers as the front runners to win the NBA title are the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics.

While the Western Conference match-ups are almost set, the Eastern Conference pairings are ready.

The Eastern Conference shapes up this way:

#1 Chicago Bulls vs. #8 Indiana Pacers - The Bulls will roll Indiana.

#2 Miami Heat vs. #7 seed Philadelphia 76ers. Miami swept Philly 3-0 this season. The song remains the same in the post season.

#3 Boston Celtics vs. #6 New York Knicks  The Celtics won all three meetings of this series in the regular season, but New York is a much different team with Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups.  Upset?

#4 Orlando Magic vs. #5 Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks won the season series 3-1. Dwight Howard should change that in this series.

Who do you think will win the 2011 NBA Championship this year? Will the L.A. Lakers "three-peat", or Will Lebron James bring a title to South Beach?

The 2011 NBA playoff schedule gets under way this Saturday with the start times to be announced.

Will the 2011 NBA Finals be a L.A. Lakers and Boston Celtics rematch again this season?

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Brooks Reed Joins Green Bay Packers at #32 - Bleacher Report

Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images

With Final Pick In First Round Super Bowl Champs Add Defensive Pass Rusher

The question is, when you have just won the Super Bowl what could you possibly need in the draft. The answer: another long haired pass rusher.

The Green Bay Packers really have no weakness and look like legit contenders to repeat their champion effort last season.

One player who they could potentially draft is Brooks Reed.

Although many board don't have Reed going until mid to late second round, he has been very impressive in his work-out and the Packers may be willing to take a chance on him.

Reed is quick enough to get to the quarterback, even at the NFL level, and that alone will help the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers will be going for back-to-back Super Bowl rings next year, and Brooks Reed could help them achieve that.
