Welcome to Thursday, everyone! We have our tight end previews going up today, but before we get to those articles we have your daily link dump.

Packers defensive backs vying for two spots - JSOnline

Robinson wraps up thoughts on poor tackling - JSOnline

Neil's NFL Daily: Lions/Packers breakdown - Pro Football Focus
The PFF guys break down the Packers' "starting" lineups with a look at the quality of players on the field. I'm not sure I necessarily agree with some of these player assessments (Sitton not a "blue-chip" caliber player?) but it's an interesting look at the team.

QB Pressure Profiles: NFC North - Pro Football Focus
