    <title>Watch 'The Colledge Experience' With Ahman Green!</title>
    <description>Packers Story: Green Bay Packers guard Daryn Colledge takes fans to locations throughout Lambeau Field, interviewing his teammates one-on-one in 'The Colledge Experience.' Fans are able to participate in the webisodes by submitting questions for Colledge to ask his guests of the week. Topics covered on the program, now in its second season, will range from personal to football, and anything else fans come up with. 

In last week's webisode, Colledge interviewed guard Josh Sitton. From the coaches' equipment room, Sitton discussed mowing lawns, working with children, and his previous experience in telemarketing.

This week, 'The Colledge Experience' welcomes the Packers' all-time leading rusher, Ahman Green. Interviewed in the Curly's Pub game room, Green talks about winning four straight Little League championships, breaking the all-time rushing record, and switching to #34.

Check back next week for a brand new webisode of 'The Colledge Experience!'

    <title>Mike McCarthy Press Conference Transcript - Nov. 20</title>
    <description>Packers Story: (Is Wells OK to go?) 
Yes, I thought Scott practiced well today. Unless something changes when we go back inside, into the training room, I fully anticipate that he'll go and start.

(Did Dietrich-Smith hurt himself yesterday?) 
Dietrich, yeah, he had a tough time yesterday. He fought through practice, and I'm hopeful that he'll be ready to go for Sunday. He's pretty banged up.

(You don't have Jason, so who's your fourth-string center if it comes to that?) 
Daryn Colledge. Daryn worked some there yesterday and has always worked through our quarterback-center exchange drills. Daryn has been prepared for that for some time.

(You spent the offseason talking about getting five guys together ... is this getting a little ridiculous?) 
Well, ridiculous is probably a little different word, but it's a challenge. I have not as a coordinator, and I can't really probably remember as an assistant coa..</description>

    <title>Matthews Named NFL Rookie Of The Week</title>
    <description>Packers Story: Voters on NFL.com have made their choice. Linebacker Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers is the NFL Rookie of the Week for games played between Nov. 12-16, the NFL announced Friday.

Matthews had one sack and recovered two fumbles, including one that set up the game-sealing touchdown in the Packers' 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Matthews was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com/rookies. The other finalists were wide receiver Jeremy Maclin of the Philadelphia Eagles, linebacker Brian Orakpo of the Washington Redskins, running back Bernard Scott of the Cincinnati Bengals and running back Beanie Wells of the Arizona Cardinals.

After the regular season, five players will be nominated for NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Fans can vote for the winner on NFL.com/rookies throughout the month of January. The winner will be announced at a..</description>

Fooch&amp;nbsp;runs the fantastic SB Nation site for the 49ers,&amp;nbsp;Niners Nation. I asked him 5 questions about the 49ers.
Brandon: &amp;nbsp;So are you an QB Alex Smith believer, or won't he ever live up to his No. 1 overall status? His 2009 stats look very similar to his 2006 stats.

Fooch: I remain, unfortunately, somewhere in the middle.&amp;nbsp; I think he has sufficient talent to turn into a quality NFL quarterback.&amp;nbsp; The last two seasons he was knocked out by injuries and so he never really had a chance to continue a normal progression.&amp;nbsp; At the same time I don't know if he'll ever be a franchise quarterback for this team.&amp;nbsp; The upside to his promotion this season is that 49ers fans can finally get some kind of idea of what Smith can bring to the table.&amp;nbsp; I think the 49ers will finally get their answer by the end of the season and can finally decide whether to fish or cut bait with him.



  
Brandon: &amp;nbsp;Usually a high ankle sprain lingers, but RB Frank Gore seems to have gotten over it and he's looked great over the past 3 weeks. Is he 100%? How about your other injuries - are CB Nate Clements and LT Joe Staley going to be out on Sunday? Who's filling in for them?

Fooch: Gore is more or less 100%.&amp;nbsp; For the last few weeks he's been practicing like normal and carrying the load.&amp;nbsp; In fact, this past week their primary backup was out and the 49ers went with two running backs (and one fullback), with Gore getting plenty of touches.As for the other injuries, Clements and Staley are out for several more weeks, so there's no chance they'll be active on Sunday.&amp;nbsp; The 49ers promoted Barry Sims to left tackle and he's been playing really well.&amp;nbsp; In fact, it's been surprising how well he's played to date after struggling much of last year.&amp;nbsp; As for Clements, the 49ers actually demoted Clements to the #3 cornerback against the Colts, with Tarell Brown starting in his place.&amp;nbsp; Clements was injured that game and hasn't played since.&amp;nbsp; So right now the 49ers are rolling out Shawntae Spencer, Tarell Brown and Dre Bly as their 1, 2, 3.

Brandon: &amp;nbsp;The Packers special teams have been awful this season. Especially their kick and punt coverage. Do the 49ers have a dangerous return game that could cause them some problems?

Fooch: The 49ers return game is rather dreadful.&amp;nbsp; Since cutting Allen Rossum, the 49ers have not had anything remotely resembling an explosive return game.&amp;nbsp; RB Michael Robinson has been their primary kick returner and WR Brandon Jones has been their primary punt returner.&amp;nbsp; Robinson hasn't been too bad, but nothing spectacular.&amp;nbsp; And Brandon Jones?&amp;nbsp; Well he's been pretty atrocious.

Brandon: &amp;nbsp;Football Outsiders has the Packers D ranked No. 1 and the 49ers D ranked No. 2. I'm surprised by it since the Packers pass defense has allowed 17 passing TDs (4th worst in the NFL) and only recorded 18 sacks. Are you surprised by the 49ers high ranking? What is the biggest problem area on their defense?

Fooch: I'm not shocked by the ranking, although it certainly wasn't something I expected so quickly.&amp;nbsp; The 49ers have a swarming defense that has been very solid against the run, while a bend-but-don't-break style against the pass.&amp;nbsp; The biggest problem with the 49ers defense is consistency.&amp;nbsp; They've had issues with the pass rush at times, and they've had issues with the secondary (particularly the safeties) at times.&amp;nbsp; And yet, through all of this, they've had games where they put together impressive performances.&amp;nbsp; For example, they held Peyton Manning without a passing touchdown in Indy.&amp;nbsp; The problem is the consistency.&amp;nbsp; If they could generate a solid pass rush, and get solid help from their secondary on a consistent basis, they could have an amazing defense.

Brandon: &amp;nbsp;The Packers have surrendered a league leading 41 sacks. The 49ers have only recorded 17 sacks. Something has to give here. How are the 49ers going to attack the Packers pass protection? Do they have any speed rushers off the edge, or is their defensive line just going to bring the bull rush?

Fooch: The 49ers pass rush is questionable at best.&amp;nbsp; Their two outside linebackers were meant to be the big sack guys, but those two have combined for 3.5 sacks.&amp;nbsp; At the same time they've done a solid job at times getting pressure and forcing quicker throws, so it's possible they could break through for some sacks against Rodgers this week.&amp;nbsp; The defensive line will force pressure as well, although again, it's not the most consistent in the world.&amp;nbsp; One guy to keep an eye on throughout the game is NT Aubrayo Franklin.&amp;nbsp; He's quietly put together a very solid season.&amp;nbsp; He's a bigger threat in stopping the run, but he can get to the quarterback on occasion as well.

Despite the big win last week, it would be easy for the Green Bay Packers to suffer a let down. The 49ers have an outstanding defense, and it won't be easy to run the score up against them. If the 49ers can keep the score close, and then come up with a big play or two, they could easily pull off the upset.&amp;nbsp;
The league rankings, by yardage, from&amp;nbsp;NFL.com:



 Team  Run Offense  Pass Offense  Run Defense  Pass Defense 


 Packers  12  11  4  6 


 49ers  22  25  3  29 



Those rankings are fair, except as to the 49ers pass defense. They are not that bad, and are actually one of the better units in the NFL. Their opponents have attempted 338 passes against them, currently tied for 3rd most in the league, but they've only allowed 9 TDs and grabbed 11 INTs. Though their INT stats are inflated by the 5 INTs surrendered by QB Jay Cutler last week. On the other hand, the Packers have 13 INTs on the season and only 4 of those came from Cutler.


  
RB Ryan Grant should not be expected to do much on the ground against the 49ers excellent run defense. The Packers have played a collection of mediocre to awful run defenses this season, with the notable exception of the outstanding Vikings run defense. In his 2 games against Minnesota, he combined for 81 yards on the ground and he wasn't given the ball often, though the Packers were playing from behind. The bigger problem is that C Scott Wells may miss the game due to a concussion, and rarely used G Evan Dietrich-Smith&amp;nbsp;may take his place. He'll be lined up NT Aubrayo Franklin, who's having an outstanding season as the anchor of their run defense. It's hard to see how Grant will have a big game.
The Packers' passing attack has struggled lately. Rodgers threw 3 INTs against the Buccaneers, and the offensive line has allowed 10 sacks in the past 2 games. WR Greg Jennings was limited last week by a knee contusion,&amp;nbsp;which appears to be bothering him again this week, though he isn't listed on the injury report. The news that RT Mark Tauscher will return,&amp;nbsp;in a rotation&amp;nbsp;with rookie RT T.J. Lang, is good since it keeps RT Allen Barbre on the bench. I wish they would bench LG Daryn Colledge too. The inexperience of Dietrich-Smith won't help here either. The 49ers have only managed 17 sacks this season, but the pass protection hasn't held up against any team. For example, the Buccaneers have only managed 11 sacks in their 8 non-Packer games, but they had 6 sacks against them two weeks ago. The return of TE Jermichael Finley should add some firepower, but it seems unlikely Rodgers will have a big game either. Unless the pass protection finally shows up, and he has time to throw.
RB Frank Gore has a gaudy 5.2 yards/carry this season, but his success rank&amp;nbsp;according to Football Outsiders&amp;nbsp;is only No. 27 overall, which indicates he's a boom-or-bust back. He's tied for 2nd in the NFL with 3 carries over 40 yards, but he's only averaging 78 yards/game. If the Cowboys couldn't run against the Packers last week, I doubt the 49ers will do much either.
But Gore is also a dangerous receiver: he's 2nd on the team with 26 receptions. Their leading receiver is TE Vernon Davis, but he's been unpredictable this season. His big games came against the Vikings, Texans, and Titans, but he's been held to 51 yards or less in the other 6. Also, those big games came against teams with poor to awful pass defenses. WR Michael Crabtree has been productive in his last 3 games, but his lengthy holdout must mean he's still learning the offense. Former No. 1 overall pick QB Alex Smith has emerged from Mike Nolan's doghouse and regained the starting job. He was outstanding in relief of QB Shaun Hill four weeks ago, but his QB rating the last 2 weeks has been under 70, despite playing against the awful Bears and Titans pass defenses. The Packers have held their opponents to a QB rating of 76.2. Still, the 49ers should have some success throwing the ball, so long as they can protect Smith.
The X-factors of the game are penalties and special teams. Though the Packers still&amp;nbsp;lead the league with 74 penalties, the 49ers are not perfect either, and they've had 60 penalties. The Packers continue to have the worst special teams in the NFL, currently ranked No. 32 by&amp;nbsp;Football Outsiders, but the 49ers aren't great either, ranked at No. 22 overall. P Andy Lee is having another outstanding season, he currently has a&amp;nbsp;net average of 41.7 per punt, which is hiding how awful the rest of the 49ers special teams have been. Neither area is a place where the 49ers should expect a major advantage.
A key to the game will be whether the Packers' pass rush can sack the QB. When the rush was getting to QB Tony Romo last week, their offense did nothing. But once their protection improved in the 4th quarter, their offense was able to move the ball. If they can't protect Smith, I don't know how the 49ers can expect to score. But the Packers can't expect anything more than 2 or 3 good drives against the 49ers defense.&amp;nbsp;
It should be a low scoring game, but the Packers' advantages on offense should give them the victory. Packers 20, 49ers 10.

    <title>Transaction: Packers Sign QB Mike Reilly</title>
    <description>

Losing a former 2nd round pick, QB Brian Brohm, and replacing him with a QB who went undrafted and spent last season playing Division II college football is a big step down.
But if there is a silver lining about the news that QB Mike Reilly was&amp;nbsp;signed to the practice squad, it's that Reilly's an interesting player. Here's his bio from&amp;nbsp;NFL Draft Scout. He was major college prospect who went to Washington State, but transferred to Division II Central Washington after his redshirt season. He threw for 12,448 yards in college, 3rd all time in Division II history, and won the Division II equivalent of the Heisman trophy last year. And at 6'3&quot;, 214 lbs., he's got the size to play in the NFL. The Packers' personnel department must have scouted him, and known all about him, so this isn't just a random signing to fill the open QB spot on the practice squad.&amp;nbsp;
Hopefully he stays on the practice squad for the rest of the season, and sticks around through next year, because I'd like to see him play in a preseason game.

    <title>Year Removed From Injury, Barnett Back To His Old Self</title>
    <description>Packers Story: Nick Barnett admits to being frustrated early this season when his snaps were limited as he came back from ACL reconstruction surgery, but with the veteran linebacker performing at a high level a year after the injury, he now sees why the team took the cautious approach.

Barnett sustained the season-ending knee injury last season in Week 10 at Minnesota, and was sidelined for most of the preseason as well. He made his return in the preseason finale at Tennessee, but saw his time at Mack linebacker limited to around 35-40 snaps for the first three games of the season before going back to a full workload in Week 4 at Minnesota.

For a player that was used to being on the field nearly all of the time in his first six seasons with the Packers, being patient during those opening three games was a challenge.

&quot;I've never been faced with an injury of that sort, an ACL,&quot; said Barnett, who had missed just two games due to injury in six-plus seasons. &quot;This coaching sta..</description>

    <title>Notebook: Former Bear Singletary Returns To Lambeau</title>
    <description>Packers Story: The last time Mike Singletary set foot in Lambeau Field was a little more than 17 years ago, when his Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers by a score of 30-10 on Oct. 25, 1992.

But that's not what Singletary, the Hall of Fame middle linebacker who's now the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, remembers most about Lambeau.

Singletary said this week that his last memory of Green Bay is the famous &quot;Instant Replay&quot; game between the Bears and Packers, which took place on Nov. 5, 1989. In that game, Packers quarterback Don Majkowski threw a game-winning 14-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Sharpe on fourth down for a 14-13 Green Bay victory.

Initially, the touchdown didn't count because the officials had ruled that Majkowski crossed the line of scrimmage before releasing the pass. But the call was overturned by a replay review, and the touchdown was good.

&quot;That's a memory that I'll never forget,&quot; Singletary said. &quot;It wasn't so much whether he was pa..</description>

Scott Wells missed practice today. He had some symptoms in regards to a concussion that was reported to the medical staff yesterday. So we're obviously being smart with him.

The symptoms were reported to the medical staff yesterday, so that's why we're dealing with it today. He missed practice yesterday, so we held him again today.

(Did you watch any tape of the new quarterback or was today your first look at him?) 
I saw some tape on Mike, what was that, in the preseason? Plus also his combine workout and so forth. Very athletic quarterback and did some good things in Pittsburgh during the preseason. So we'll have an opportunity to try to get him acclimated to the way we do things here. I'm glad he's here.

    <title>Packers And Sargento Raise $34,500 Thus Far To Fight Hunger</title>
    <description>Packers Story: Effort To Support Wisconsin Hunger Task Force And Paul's Pantry In Seventh Season

The Green Bay Packers and Sargento thus far in 2009 have raised $34,500 for the &quot;Touchdowns for Charity&quot; program to benefit the Wisconsin Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee County and Paul's Pantry in Green Bay.

For each touchdown scored by the Packers during the 2009 regular season, Sargento is donating $1,000 to the Hunger Task Force ($27,000 on 27 TDs thus far). Additionally, Sargento is donating $500 to Paul's Pantry for every touchdown scored by the team's wide receivers and tight ends ($7,500 on 15 TDs thus far).

Since partnering six years ago, Sargento - the official cheese of the Green Bay Packers and Lambeau Field - has contributed more than $422,500 to Wisconsin food charities such as the Hunger Task Force and Paul's Pantry.

Following each Packers home game, a running total of the money raised will be displayed on Lambeau Field's TundraVision, as w..</description>

    <title>Packers Sign QB Reilly To Practice Squad</title>
    <description>Packers Story: The Green Bay Packers have signed QB Mike Reilly to the practice squad. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the signing Thursday.

A 6-foot-3, 214-pound rookie from Central Washington, Reilly was a four-year starter who set nearly every passing record in Wildcat history. He signed with Pittsburgh as a non-drafted free agent and spent the preseason with the Steelers. 

He will wear No. 13.</description>

    <title>November APC Jersey Contest - Game 2</title>
    <description>

Week 1 of the jersey contest is in the books. Hopefully I'll remember to post the results shortly, but in the meantime, the entry form for this week's game is now open.&amp;nbsp;Follow the link here. The contest details were posted last week&amp;nbsp;here.
Please use the same user name, and email address, you used last week so I can keep track of the cumulative score for November. And if you didn't enter last week, go ahead and enter this week anyway. I ask two bonus questions, only one entry got either of them right last week, and you can easily get to the top of the leader board if you correctly guess them.
Good luck!

Are now up at SBNation.com. The Green Bay Packers only move up from No. 16 to No. 14 because I didn't get my vote recorded in time. Since I'm a homer, I would have put them at No. 8, which might have moved them up a spot. Although I have to admit it's hard for the Packers to break out from the group of seven teams currently holding a 5-4 record. That is some parity.

It's well deserved that CB Charles Woodson was named&amp;nbsp;NFC defensive player of the week. When was the last time a Green Bay Packer defender had as dominant a game?
In a minor move, WR Jake Allen&amp;nbsp;was released. He was&amp;nbsp;quickly claimed&amp;nbsp;by the Browns. Aaron Nagler was&amp;nbsp;less than impressed&amp;nbsp;with Allen during the Buccaneers game.&amp;nbsp;He rarely played this preseason, only&amp;nbsp;recording 2 receptions. He was just your generic, undrafted free agent who made no impression.
This does leave a roster spot open, but&amp;nbsp;three key players returned to practice&amp;nbsp;on Wednesday, TE Jermichael Finley, LB Aaron Kampman, and RT Mark Tauscher, so they don't necessarily need to add someone this week since that new addition would likely be left inactive on Sunday.
But&amp;nbsp;according to Greg Bedard, the Packers opened up that roster spot so they could add QB Brian Brohm from the practice squad. Unfortunately he declined the offer and instead signed with the Buffalo Bills. That's the 2nd player they've lost from the practice squad to the Buffalo Bills, OL Jamon Meredith was the&amp;nbsp;other player lost back in September.&amp;nbsp;
It hurts that they lost a recent 2nd round pick for nothing in return. But Brohm was clearly the 3rd best QB on the team over the last two seasons. He was much better this preseason compared to his rookie year. He probably had little chance of moving ahead of backup QB Matt Flynn, and had no chance of taking the starting job away from QB Aaron Rodgers. At best, he could have shown some improvement next preseason, as did former Packer preseason superstar QB Matt Hasselbeck, and then been traded for something in a year or two. In the end, he turned out to be a high priced insurance policy in case Rodgers fell on his face last season. And it was offset by the knowledge that they used a 7th round pick in 2008 on a backup QB (Flynn) who appears to have 2nd round talent.
Watching the Browns game on Monday night reminded me of Brohm. Both he and QB Brady Quinn have poor accuracy past about 10 yards. If Quinn could be an NFL starter, it seemed ridiculous that Brohm couldn't find a team interested in adding him to their active roster. If QB Bruce Gradkowski can&amp;nbsp;start in Oakland, then certainly Brohm deserves a chance somewhere. He might not get that chance this season, but he'll probably be given an opportunity to win the Bills starting job next season.

    <title>Contrasting Careers Thus Far For QBs Smith, Rodgers</title>
    <description>Packers Story: The divergent paths taken by quarterbacks Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers since draft day in April 2005 are unavoidably in the spotlight this week as the San Francisco 49ers come to Green Bay to take on the Packers.

But to draw any grand conclusions from the analysis is a dicey proposition at best. Probably better just to look at it as the principals involved do, that everything happens for a reason.

To review, Smith and Rodgers were the top two quarterback prospects in the 2005 draft, and both were considered strong candidates to be taken No. 1 overall by the 49ers. Ultimately San Francisco chose Smith to revive the franchise, leaving Rodgers to unexpectedly fall all the way to No. 24, where the Packers grabbed him as the heir apparent to Brett Favre.

Fast forward nearly five years and the two careers are at very different stages. Smith was thrust into the starting role right away and endured a tumultuous first 2  seasons in San Francisco, then missed a year ..</description>

    <title>Notebook: Finley Itching To Get Back On The Field</title>
    <description>Packers Story: Tight end Jermichael Finley said Wednesday he had never missed a football game in his life due to an injury prior to sustaining a knee sprain in Week 7 at Cleveland, so after being sidelined for three games, he is more than ready to return this Sunday against San Francisco.

Finley suffered the injury on the opening drive of the game against the Browns on a 16-yard reception, and had yet to participate fully in practice since then until Wednesday. Head Coach Mike McCarthy said Finley took his normal number of reps for a Wednesday practice.

&quot;I feel pretty good,&quot; Finley said. &quot;A little rusty out there today, the first day back. I'm just excited to be back.

&quot;It's just a great thing to be back in the lineup and helping my team win.&quot;

After a strong showing in the preseason, the second-year tight end got off to a slow start in the regular season, catching just five passes for 62 yards in the first three games.

But Finley's coming-out party came i..</description>
