Where is titletown




















The taxi squad was equivalent to today's practice squad. Following the season, the Packers had signed Dick Capp, who made a big play in Super Bowl II, off the Lowell roster, so that might have set the stage for the agreement, or perhaps it suggests there was some tie the previous year, as well.

Defensive tackle Leon Crenshaw, who played in 10 games for the Packers in , also played for Lowell in The Packers' agreement with Hartford covered at least the season.

I'm assuming they dropped Lowell and picked up Hartford as their affiliate. In , Curly Lambeau sent one of his all-time greats, Verne Lewellen, to Long Island to coach the team and implement the Packers' system.

Lambeau also said at the time that was the first working arrangement the Packers ever had with a minor league team. Jim, why don't you get the name of your tech's great uncle and email it to me? Maybe I'll recognize it. I read that the Packers record for most TD receptions by a running back in a season was set way back in by Johnny Blood with Is this true? Yes, Blood caught 10 TD passes in and that remains the record today. Amazing, isn't it? That's what paved Blood's path into the Pro Football Hall of Fame — his playmaking ability at a time when the game was dominated by punters and short-yardage line-plungers.

In , winning teams scored more than two touchdowns in less than half of all NFL games. Also, I congratulate you for calling him Johnny Blood. It shows you know your Packers history. That was his name throughout his pro career — the only one to appear in a Packers publication of any kind or in the Green Bay or Milwaukee papers. Good question. First of all, as a passer, Lynn Dickey was in the same league as Favre and Rodgers.

He threw a beautiful deep ball. He could make every throw. Plus, he was a respected leader and football smart. But where he didn't measure up to Favre and Rodgers was when he had to elude a pass rush. He wasn't the most mobile quarterback to start with, and then he suffered two traumatic injuries — one to his hip in Houston in and a compound fracture to his left leg in — that limited his mobility even more.

Thus, he didn't have the ability to make a big play out of a bad play, which was one of Favre's greatest gifts and now ditto for. To me, one of the most important measures of greatness at any position is whether a player is capable of excelling for any team in any system. Lofton would have been special in a Bill Walsh offense, just as he was in Bob Schnelker's vertical passing game in Green Bay. I think the Packers' next best receiver since the Lombardi years was without a doubt Sterling Sharpe, but he and Favre played together for only three seasons.

I also think Jordy Nelson has been rapidly climbing the Packers' list of all-time best receivers. Considering there was still a little left in John Jefferson's tank when he played opposite Lofton, and tight end Paul Coffman and running backs Eddie Lee Ivery and Gerry Ellis were all above average receivers at their respective positions, I'd say Dickey had the next best set.

I think Favre's cast was the weakest, partly because his most talented receivers, starting with Sharpe, didn't stand the test of time. Javon Walker had the talent to be special, but wasted it. Robert Brooks' career was derailed by injury after he turned heads with a catch season. And while Antonio Freeman and Driver were two of the most productive receivers in Packers history, they had one all-pro season between them: Freeman in That said, Favre benefited from playing with two good pass-catching tight ends — Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson briefly — and some backs that could do damage in the passing game, at least on screens: Edgar Bennett, Dorsey Levens and Ahman Green.
