Wasn't awful this week, but not exactly stellar. Almost all of his points came in the first half. Didn't get to catch the game, but did anything change after halftime?

I was disappointed with his performance, hopefully he'll be in the beast mode this week.

What about Zombo or whatever his name is for GB? Did he take some of Bishop's nickel plays?

Bishop didn't play in the last nickel series, with the Packers choosing to load up on DBs. There wasn't much tackle opportunity before that and Bishop remained active between the tackles. Looks like there will be some packages where Bishop sits, but they'll be relatively few in closer games. The Lions are a so-so matchup this week, but the Patriots and Giants should be better.

This is exactly what I have been thinking over the last 2 weeks or so. Good to see that I'm not crazy. Thanks for the insight.

Is he a must start this week? I was thinking about replacing him for Mario Haggan.

Woulda been nice if he had some tackles in the second half...

That was clearly a forced fumble by Bishop on Brady.

What's the dynasty value of this guy? I know they also have Brad Jones on IR, Nick Barnett on IR and now this Zombo guy. Any insight as to how it may shake out for 2011? I have Bishop in one league but he was simply a 1 year fill in and I'll be able to extend him if I think he'll remain a starter.

Very nice article today about Bishop from the combine. Sounds like a two thumbs up automatic 3 down starting ILB job next year. Don't forget about this guy!
The day GB gets rid of Hawk or Barnett, it'll be too late to get him cheap.

Well, the timem to get Bishop for cheap was about week 8 last season.

Hawk resigned. We'll have to wait until the new CBA to find out if Barnett is released outright, or if there will be a 3-headed monster in GB. Most think that Barnett will be released, but you never know.

I have visited 3 different Packers message boards and the fans on all three think Barnett will be and should be released.

Strictly inside in a 3-4 defense.

Per Rotoworld:
Packers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed at the Wisconsin Pro Day Wednesday that ILB Nick Barnett is no longer considered a starter.
"We line up tomorrow, it’s A.J. and Bishop," said McCarthy. Barnett would be the highest paid backup linebacker in the league if he receives the $6.025 million he's due in 2011. $375,000 of that amount is available in an offseason roster bonus, so Barnett may not even make it to training camp with the Pack.
As a Bishop owner.... YES!

I thought it was pretty shocking that they paid Hawk 10 mil this year, but it was clear that he and Bishop (who seemed like the top priority with the solid contract of his own) were the starters. Little chance that Barnett gets paid that roster bonus. He could be back; it'd be a similar situation to Hawk's, without the favorable contract.I think Barnett would have been a bigger threat to Bishop's favorable ILB role and nickel snaps. These developments almost certainly lock Bishop into LB2+ value in 2011.Per Rotoworldackers coach Mike McCarthy confirmed at the Wisconsin Pro Day Wednesday that ILB Nick Barnett is no longer considered a starter."We line up tomorrow, it’s A.J. and Bishop," said McCarthy.
