  • Barnett out for the season



    * On Nick Barnett: "We've lost Nick Barnett for the season because of a ligament tear in his knee." Got the word about a half-hour ago. Declines to say which ligament, though odds are it's the ACL. No surgery scheduled yet. Desmond Bishop is most likely to start in his place.

    I wonder why he wouldn't say which ligament?

    That sucks..He wasn't having a good season, but he's much better than Bishop.

      So does this mean our run D gets better or worse?

        Chillar Hawk Poppinga?

        I think the coaches should try that instead of...

        Hawk Bishop Popping.

          I agree
          Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

            Will we miss him?

            Can't remember the last game that I heard his name called.

              Packers coach Mike McCarthy revealed Monday that MLB Nick Barnett needs surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee. He will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

              Desmond Bishop is directly behind Barnett on the depth chart, but Green Bay may also explore moving A.J. Hawk or Brandon Chillar to the middle with Brady Poppinga staying outside. The Packers have lost three key defenders for the year in Barnett, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and Cullen Jenkins and their fantasy defense's prospects are very dim going forward. They are currently 28th against the run and will likely continue to struggle there.

                    We heard his name the very play after he got injured, when his replacement at MLB was responsible for giving up a lengthy TD...

                      Since they will have a roster spot open, I thought maybe they could sign Hodge, who had gone to the Bengals practice squad. But, after a couple weeks on their practice squad, Cincy signed him to their 53 man roster in October. I didn't catch that before.

                        so who do they bring on the team? Any chance they bring KGB back? Someone off the Practice squad? Where do we need the most depth help?

                          Injuries are part of every team's season. The deeper teams survive these..

                              Barnett was only playing average anyhow. He whiffed on several tackles so I don't see his loss as monumental. I think Bishop and Chillar (if healthy) can fill in adequately here. We still have serious problems on the line however and there isn't really anyway to fix that until next year. It is what it is.
