Just a few thoughts on what the Pack needs to do to remain a contender next season:
*Fire ST coach Sean Slocum. Hard to justify when you just won the Super Bowl, but this guy's unit is subpar (to put it nicely), and he's clearly the weak link in an otherwise excellent coaching staff. Their kickoff and punt coverage ranges from adequate to atrocious, and the return game in non-existant.
*Give Starks a shot at starting. Ryan Grant is a good player, but his numbers are misleading. While he's much better than Brandon Jackson (who started most of the season), he's not as explosive as Starks, and there were plenty of games in 08 and 09 where he was essentially a non-factor.
*Keep James Jones if Driver retires, otherwise let him go. He had the biggest drop of his career (potential 75 yard TD) in the Super Bowl on a perfect pass. He did the same thing against Philly. I like him, but I doubt Green Bay will overpay for someone who's unreliable.
*Keep AJ Hawk, get rid of Nick Barnett. Hawk upped his game this year. Barnett has been on the decline the past couple years and can't stay healthy. Plus he's a bit of an ass, as we've learned the past few weeks.
*Cut loose the dead weight - Donald Lee, Justin Harrell, Atari Bigby.
