    However, if viewed strictly as a backup when Raji went down, he probably doesn't hurt. But that's one less pass rusher you keep because Ryan isn't getting to the QB.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Starter on front seven can be hard to say because they play in sub quite a bit, where you're not going to have a run stopping specialist in there anyway, so unless they have some pocket pushing skills, you'll be yanked. At least in the base defense, and with all the sustained injuries, Ryan could have been a difference maker for the Packers this year. Does that mean they liked Pennel and Guion that much that even when Raji went down they said "we're good"?
