Shermbutt and Two Pre-Season Games
First, the coach's contract was not a ringing endorsement, but it was not a slap in the face either. Teen Wolf is punting, opting to make his final decision at a later date.Favre is still here for a few more years and Teen Wolf isn't expecting the Packers to be good for a few years anyway, so why not kick everything down the road a bit?
I agree with the decision to re-up on Shermbutt for a few years because Teen Wolf has no intention of making a run at the title in the near future anyway.

As evidenced by the poor performance in the first two pre-season games, the Packers are in a very fragile condition.
Yes, they still have their receivers, their TE, their running backs, and their QB (who is looking sharp as ever), …but that's all they have.
The young defensive tackles they touted all off-season are MIA on the field. The corners still can't cover anyone or tackle anyone. And the offensive line seems to be having a contest to see who can miss the most assignments.
Aaron Rodgers is performing like Tim Couch circa 2004 which is a lot like saying that he's a worthless bum who doesn't belong on the field in any capacity. I'm not one to exaggerate my abilities, but I’m confident that I could play quarterback as well as Aaron Rodgers did last week. I can get sacked, throw interceptions, under-throw receivers and prance around like a coward too confused and frightened to throw the ball to anyone who isn't 3 yards away and also a running back.
Shermbutt said repeatedly last week that the game against Buffalo was about finding their starters. This was about people stepping up and winning a position on the team.
It didn't happen.
Some may have "won" a spot on the team by sucking less than the sucktards who sucked their way off the team, but that's about it.
We’re going to go into this season effectively "platooning" people at key positions like defensive tackle, cornerback, safety, and guard.
Not a recipe for success, to say the least.
