Hill has been sacked on 10.6 percent of his pass plays, and only the Green Bay Packers (12.7 percent) are allowing sacks at a more rapid rate. ``Any time the quarterback gets hit, it's too many,'' Snyder said. ``We have to do a better job in protection and in the run game.''

LONDON (AP) -Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Holmgren swapped coaching techniques with three of England's top coaches Friday and offered some advice on how to handle high-priced stars. The former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks coach said the biggest challenge is to keep players focused on winning games rather than securing bigger contracts. ``The NFL has changed over the years. The players had always been paid well but now the amounts they are paid are staggering,'' Holmgren told the audience at the |

| Green Bay, WI (MySportsbook) - The Green Bay Packers brought back a familiar face Wednesday with the signing of running back Ahman Green.

The 32-year-old amassed 8,162 career rushing yards with the Packers and needs 46 more yards to surpass Jim Taylor as the franchise's all-time leading rusher. Last season, Green rushed for 294 yards and three touchdowns over eight games for the Texans in hi |

| NFC North: Packers find defensive mojo |

| |
| (MySportsbook) - The rehabilitation of the Green Bay Packers defense in 2009 has been a difficult one. At times, Dom Capers' new-look 3-4 unit seems to have turned the corner, only to suffer a painful relapse soon after. Due to the quality of the opponent, few would be willing to declare that the Pack's effort against the one-win Detroit Lions this past Sunday was the final hurdle cleared. But a confidence-builder? As they might say in the midwest, you betcha. The Lions, playing without top wideout Calvin Joh |
