Clay Matthews ran a 1.49 10 yard spilt. A number that is far more important to front seven players. This dude looks slow off the ball could be cuz he's so tall but peppers is tall and he looks way faster off the snap. Granted peppers is a future hall of farmer.Clay Matthews ran a 4.67.
Had no idea Julius was so good at gardening. Let me guess, he is known for his peppers.Granted peppers is a future hall of farmer.

I thought that was Peter? Relation?Had no idea Julius was so good at gardening. Let me guess, he is known for his peppers.
Thorton lacked mentally, is he even on a team anymore?
I know. I was thinking we'd draft an ILB first. So an OLB is a bit of a surprise. Was wondering if the ILB cadre is that thin!

While I agree the Packers were in dire need of an inside linebacker it seems Thompson rated Fackrell ahead of any ILB still left on the board. With Peppers, Perry and Datone headed for free agency in 2017 it made sense to add an edge rusher.
Hopefully Blake Martinez becomes a immediate starter.
Hopefully he is good enough to start and improve our defense.........it doesn't mean a huge deal to start over our guys.Hopefully Blake Martinez becomes a immediate starter.
Going from Utah State to the Packers strength and conditioning program can easily achieve 10 lbs of muscle. I really don't see the counter argument but we'll find out in a few months I suppose. Everything from dietary assistance to world class strength coaches will be at this guys disposal. I'm sure the U.S. program was plenty fine but in no way can compare to the facilities/coaching he will be receiving in GB.Thorton lacked mentally, is he even on a team anymore? I don't expect this guy to bulk up a lot. He's long and lean. He's 25, not 18 or even 20. He's played OLB, I assume he's been working out? Anyone can gain 20 pounds, that isn't difficult. But thinking a well conditioned, physically mature athlete is going to just add 10-20lbs of muscle over a summer without PED's is not very realistic.
I may be in the minority but still have high hopes for Jake Ryan. His athleticism is under valued and with a full year of seasoning I am expecting a much more aggressive, confident ILB to show up come camp. Furthermore he bounced back and forth between ILB and OLB at Michigan and now finally has a solidified role and I can only see that helping his game. I think Mr Ryan is going to surprise some folks and wind up being a gem for Teddy.Hopefully he is good enough to start and improve our defense.........it doesn't mean a huge deal to start over our guys.

I think the optimistic rating is funny. We're all doing one thing and that's speculating. To assume Jake has plateaued one year in is unfair to the kid. Fact remains his athleticism is underrated and the point of him bouncing back and forth from ILB to OLB at Michigan has to be considered. I'll stick to my guns no matter how optimistic it may sound.

Best thing I read this week. Yeah, we're only two days in but nonetheless....Had no idea Julius was so good at gardening. Let me guess, he is known for his peppers.
That's right, so long as there's some basis for it. Otherwise it's just wishful thinking.I don't consider being optimistic as a negative thing.
I expressed the same optimism about Ryan on a couple of occasions over the last couple of months for much the same reasons. I got an "optimistic" as well. Call it "tradition".I think the optimistic rating is funny.

It's certainly subjective. It could be used to describe a sense of hope but could also be used to make it seem one is drinking the kool-aid. I try to stay positive unless someone or some thing gives me enough reason to go negative.I don't consider being optimistic as a negative thing.
