The 2009 Green Bay Packers season is the 89th season in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers and the 91st season for the team overall. They look to improve upon their 6-10 record from 2008. This season is notable in that former Packers star quarterback Brett Favre is scheduled to play against the Packers as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

Offseason

2009 NFL Draft

Main article: 2009 NFL Draft

After finishing the 2008 season with a 6-10 record, the Packers held the 9th selection in the 2009 NFL Draft. With the pick they selected defensive tackle B. J. Raji of Boston College. After selecting Raji, they then traded picks 2-41, 3-73 and 3-83 to the New England Patriots for picks 1-26 and 5-162. With pick 1-26, the Packers selected linebacker Clay Matthews of USC. After the rest of the first day of the had draft passed in which the Packers held no selections, the Packers started the second day of the draft by selecting OG/OT T. J. Lang of Eastern Michigan with pick 4-109. In the following round the selected FB Quinn Johnson of LSU with pick 5-145 and OT Jamon Meredith of South Carolina with pick 5-162. In the sixth round they selected DE Jarius Wynn of Georgia with pick 6-182 and CB Brandon Underwood of Cincinnati with pick 6-187. With their final pick of the draft they selected LB Brad Jones of Colorado with pick 7-218.

Draft pick trades

  • In 2008, The Packers traded QB Brett Favre to the New York Jets for a conditional draft pick. Favre took the required majority of the team's snaps at quarterback but the Jets failed to qualify for the playoffs so the Packers received the Jets' 3rd round pick (3-83).

Coaching changes

After a struggling 2008 season on defense and special teams, head coach Mike McCarthy decided in January to fire most of the defensive coaching staff. The coaching staff changes made during the offseason are as follows:

Switch from 4-3 to 3-4 defense

On Jan 18 it was announced that with the hiring of defensive coordinator Dom Capers that the Packers would switch their base defensive scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme which implements three down linemen and four linebackers instead of four down linemen and three linebackers in the traditional 4-3. While the defense will now be based out of the 3-4, head coach Mike McCarthy stated that they will also use some four man fronts thus being more of a hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense.

In a February 3 press conference to introduce the new assistant coaches to the media, McCarthy was asked if defensive end Aaron Kampman would play outside linebacker in the new 3-4 defense. He responded: "Well, it depends on what personnel we have on the field. When we line up in the first base defense, yeah, Aaron will be an outside linebacker." [17]

Another notable question was which position group has to make the biggest transition, he replied: "Terminology-wise, they’re learning a new language … and I think that’s good for everybody. That touches every player. Technique-wise, there’s definitely going to be some carryover — there always is, particularly in sub-fronts. You may look at some of our subpackages, and you may not think there’s a whole lot of difference compared to what we’ve done in the past."[17]

He was also asked, is change good, he replied: "Change creates excitement. … The Green Bay Packers organization will never lack for energy. It’s such a great place to work from a culture standpoint, the passion of all the people that work here. But there’s definitely a ton of energy on the third floor right now. Today’s exciting. We’re finally all back. Everybody’s here, our staff is complete. So, you can just tell by the response of the players and the people close to the football team, everybody’s excited about our new direction."[17]

Training camp

The Packers held their training camp sessions at the newly constructed Ray Nitschke Field behind the Don Hutson Center. Practices will be moved inside the Don Hutson Center during inclement weather. St. Norbert College served as the team base for all living arrangements for the 52nd consecutive season.

There are competitions for starting jobs on the offensive line due to the team looking for stability on the offensive line at center and right guard, and a replacement for longtime starter at right tackle, Mark Tauscher.

On defense, the main competition for starting jobs in the new 3-4 scheme will take place at outside linebacker position opposite Aaron Kampman. Second-year pro defensive end turned linebacker Jeremy Thompson was initially placed as the starter for right outside linebacker, although rookie Clay Matthews III will compete for the position as well.

On special teams, punters Jeremy Kapinos and Durant Brooks will be competing for the Packers punting job.

On August 8 the Packers scheduled a "Family Night" inter-squad scrimmage at 7:30 PM CST at Lambeau Field, but due to inclement weather the event was canceled.

After the canceled scrimmage, the Packers released their first depth chart of the season. In the position battles listed above, Allen Barbre was listed as the starting right tackle. At the center position, Scott Wells was listed as the starter with Jason Spitz starting at his normal right guard spot on the line. As stated above, Jeremy Thompson was listed as the starting right outside linebacker. In the highly contested battle between punters Jeremy Kapinos and Durant Brooks, Kapinos was listed as the starter.

During the morning practice on the Monday after their second pre-season matchup vs the Buffalo Bills, It became apparent that Scott Wells had lost his starting center position to Jason Spitz, with Josh Sitton replacing Spitz at right guard and Allen Barbre continued to hold the starting reps at right tackle. These changes were also later reflected on the teams depth chart on Packers.com.

Another change on the depth chart was Johnny Jolly replacing rookie first round draft pick B. J. Raji and Justin Harrell at left defensive end due to Jolly's explosive performance in the first two preseason contests of the season, which included two sacks and a forced fumble vs Buffalo.

The third change of note made was Brady Poppinga regaining his starting outside linebacker spot on the depth chart ahead of Jeremy Thompson and rookie first round pick Clay Matthews. Thompson and Matthews though still have a chance to take the starting spot.

The punter contest doesn’t still have a clear leader after two pre season contests. Brooks’ chances diminished a bit when an old hip flexor injury popped up last week, bringing his durability into doubt. Kapinos has shown that he doesn’t have Brooks’ leg strength but has shown that he still is a viable option to get the job done. The Packers' have looked at other teams roster for another punter, but due to a pretty weak crop of solid punters in the NFL, the chances aren't promising of finding a better punter than the tow current punters on the roster.

at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

The Packers' 2009 season started at home against their hated division rival, the Chicago Bears, on Sunday Night Football.

The Packers received the ball first but had to settle for a 49 yard field goal attempt on their first drive of the season, but kicker Mason Crosby failed to convert the kick wide left. After the missed attempt the Packers new 3-4 defense took the field for the first time in the regular season and held Jay Cutler and the Bears to a 3 and out. After a minimal drive by the Packers, following the Bears punt, the Bears retook possession of the ball at the Chicago 18 yard line. After moving the ball to the Bears 31 yard line, Cutler forced a throw into coverage intended for tight end Desmond Clark. Safety Nick Collins intercepted the pass and returned the ball to the Packers 43 yard line.

Both teams continued to traded fairly ineffective offensive series through out the first half up until 8:22 in the second quarter where Mason Crosby converted a 52 yard field goal to give the Packers the early 3-0 lead. On the Bears next drive, Cutler completed a 68 yard pass to wide receiver Johnny Knox down to the Packers 8 yard line. With the Bears looking to score in the red zone, the Packers pressured Cutler enough to force an errant throw into the Packers defensive line. Defensive end Johnny Jolly intercepted the pass and returned the ball for two yards to the Packers 14 yard line. Though the interception prevented a possible Bears touchdown, three plays later Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked in the end zone by safety Danieal Manning for a Bears safety decreasing the Packers lead to a 3-2 advantage.

After the safety, the ball was punted back to the Bears and returned to the Bears 44 yard line by return man Devin Hester. On third down of the Bears next possession, cornerback Tramon Williams intercepted another forced Cutler throw and returned the ball to the Bears 1 yard line. On the next play, Packers running back Ryan Grant rushed left end for 1 yard and scored the Packers first touchdown of the season to take a 10-2 lead. Both teams exchanged offensive possessions for the last 4:40 of the half but neither managed to add any more points to the score. The Packers went into the half with a 10-2 lead.

After the half, the Bears received the ball. Ten plays into the Bears drive, Jay Cutler connected with Devin Hester on a 36 yard pass down the right sideline for their first touchdown of the season. With the touchdown and the extra point, the Bears decreased the Packer lead to 10-9. After the Bears touchdown, the Packer offense still seemed to have trouble moving the ball and had to settle for punting the ball after a sack and two incomplete passes. On the next Bears drive, the Bears converted a 47 yard field goal to take a 12-10 lead over the Packers. The Packers offense took the field aiming to retake the lead, but stalled again around midfield.

In the fourth quarter, with the Packers offense unable to move the ball and the defense lacking the plays that it made in the first half, it looked like the tides were turning in the Bears favor. The Bears then took over the ball at their own 27 yard line, but the Packers defense held stout and forced the Bears to punt. Before the punt though, the Bears center was watching rookie first round pick Clay Matthews III run of the field. Thinking that there were 12 Packers on the field, he snapped the ball to the Bears running back Garrett Wolfe who then tried to advance the ball, but was stopped by the Packers. Bears coach Lovie Smith challenged that the Packers had too many players on the field, but instant replays showed that Matthews got off the field of play before the ball was snapped thus giving the Packers the ball at the Bears 26 yard line. After a couple of plays and a holding penalty on the Packers, they had to settle for the field goal in which Mason Crosby converted to give the Packers a slim 13-12 lead. On the Bears next drive, they matched the Packers recent score on a 21 yard field goal to regain the lead from the Packers at 15-13.

With 2:35 remaining in the game, the Packers received the ball. after a couple of decent gains the Packers offense looked slightly more confident than their previous series in the game. The dagger was then put into the Bears heart when quarter back Aaron Rodgers connected with Greg Jennings on a 50 yard touchdown pass paired with a Jennings two point conversion reception gave the Packers a 21-15 lead in the dying minutes.

The Bears offense took the field in a last attempt to win the game, but Jay Cutler's debut start for the Bears would get even worse when his first pass of the drive was intercepted by cornerback Al Harris and returned to the Bears 14 yard line.

The Packers then lined up in the victory formation to take a nail biting and sloppy 21-15 win against their division rival Chicago Bears to start the season with a 1-0 record.

During the contest, Packers starting safety Atari Bigby injured his knee and is expected to miss at least four weeks. Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher also dislocated his wrist and will reportedly miss the remainder of the season.

at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

After defeating the Bears in their season opener, the Packers faced the 0-1 Cincinnati Bengals in a week 2 contest at Lambeau Field. During the week leading up to the game, Bengals star wide receiver Chad Ochocinco said in an interview that he’ll do a celebratory “Lambeau Leap” into the end zone seats if he scores in Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field.

The Packers started the contest with the ball, but could only manage to move the ball to mid field before they settled for a punt. The Bengals offense then took to the field at their own 37 yard line and after moving the ball into the Packers red zone, Carson Palmer managed to hit Laveranues Coles on a short 5 yard pass in the center of the end zone to take an early 7-0 lead. The Packers managed to match the Bengals drive though, by caping a 11 play 80 yard drive with a 3 yard pass by Aaron Rodgers to Donald Driver along the right sideline of the end zone. The score was now tied a 7-7. The Bengals regained possession after the Packers touchdown, but on the first play of their corresponding drive Carson Palmer attempted a pass to wide receiver Chad Ochocinco along the right sideline, but Packers cornerback Charles Woodson stepped in front of Ochocinco and intercepted the attempted pass. Woodson then returned the ball down to the Bengals 11 yard line for a return of 22 yards. Two plays later, Packers running back Ryan Grant scored a touchdown on a 4 yard run outside of the left guard to take a 14-7 lead. After the Grant touchdown, both teams exchanged possessions into the second quarter.

On the Bengals second drive after the Ryan Grant touchdown run, quarterback Carson Palmer capped the Bengals drive with a 1 yard sneak up the middle for a touchdown to re-tie the contest at 14-14. The Packers offense again sputtered and couldn't find the rhythm that the offense once possessed a season ago. After the punt, Carson Palmer was sacked for a loss of 8 yards and then on the next play Charles Woodson intercepted another pass along the right sideline from Palmer and returned the ball 37 yards for the Packers first defensive score of the season to retake the lead 21-14. On the Bengals next drive though, they would then retake the lead again on a 5 yard Palmer pass to Chris Henry in the back of the end zone. The score was now tied 21-21. The Packers offense retook the field aiming to break the tie before halftime, but only could manage to give kicker Mason Crosby a 55 yard attempt in which he missed as the clock expired. The teams went into the half tied at 21.

After the half, the Bengals offense took to the field first but was forced to punt. The Packers responded by moving the ball quite efficiently, but their drive came to an end when Ryan Grant fumbled after pulling in a short Aaron Rodgers pass. The Bengals then managed to capitalize on the Packers first turn over of the season by putting together a 12 play 62 yard drive capped by another Carson Palmer touchdown pass, this time to wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. After the touchdown, Ochocinco ran behind the endzone looking for a place to Lambeau Leap finally settling for a group of Bengals fans in the right corner of the endzone. Both teams exchanged possession without scoring through the end of the third quarter.

With both teams unable to score into the fourth quarter, the Bengals finally converted a field goal with 2 minutes left in game. to take a 31-21 lead. After the field goal, the Packers took over and managed to get the ball into field goal range in which Packers coach decided to kick the field goal to decrease the lead to 7 needing an onside kick recovery to tie the game anyway. The Mason Crosby kick was successful and the Packers special teams unit then lined up in the onside kick formation. Mason Crosby kicked the to the right side and the ball hopped right to Packers corner back Tramon Williams for the recovery. With 45 seconds remaining, The Packers offense took the field with no timeouts. Rodgers then completed a couple of passes and moved the ball past midfield with 16 seconds remaining. Rodgers then completed a 25 yard strike to Donald Driver in the center of the field for 25 yards down to the Bengals 10 yard line. Hurrying down field the Packers snapped the ball with 1 second remaining but the Packers were flagged for a false start. With the penalty the remaining time was ran off the clock and the game ended.

What could have been a memorable comeback ended in defeat with the Packers suffering their first loss of the season 31-24 to bring their record to 1-1.

During the contest, Packers starting safety Nick Collins injured his shoulder and veteran starting left tackle Chad Clifton injured his ankle.
