Let's hope he works out. I always saw him as a typical (from the past, typical) Michigan player: good try-hard college player, not enough skill to be in the pros. Of course there have been good and great pros from U of Mich, but most of the guys were really good college players (back when) whose skills didn't translate very well to the NFL.

Let's hope this dude is making the transition and has some skills. Or will he be the next Nate Palmer?

Assuming Barrington comes back next year, perhaps a Barrington and Ryan combination can move Matthews back to OLB? I'd still like to see Clay move around, but it would be nice to have a couple of other guys at ILB to play the majority of snaps.

We all have a pretty good suspicion as to what the Packer offense might've been like if Jordy hadn't have gotten hurt.
But I wonder what the Packer defense would be like if Sam Barrington hadn't gotten hurt.
Would it be much different?

So far, Barrington and Ryan strike me as similar players. Ryan is a little better athlete, so he may have more upside.
Ryan seems to be a bit more of a 'desperate' tackler. Not sure if that's a good thing. Neither Barrington or Ryan will ever be anything special, but I think Ryan might be a capable starter one day.
