Barnett out for the season

[RashanGary]

I think he sounds just plain dumb. Not a jerk, but slow. Brandon Jackson is similar.

Finley may have sounded worse than any player since Torrence Marshall

I have not listened to Wells; is he on their level ?

[Zool]

Torrence Marshall and Marshawn Lynch should have an aural debate.

[MJZiggy]

I never understood a word Ahmad Carroll said.

i mean really?

[Patler]

Not to pile up on Wells, but have you ever listened to him. He's an idiot to go along with being a wimp for his position. A true football zero. I really don't like the idea of playing a rook, but screw it. Throw Sitton in there at RG and live iwth the mistakes. Inconsistent is better than consistantly bad.

I thought you were a guy who hung on what the coaches have to say about the O-linemen?
The have always described Wells as being intelligent and very, very good in making the correct line calls, etc. That has been described as one of the aspects of his play that makes him harder to replace.

I don't care that much that Barnett is out. I'm sorry for him, it sucks to have to go through this. But since the run defense is sucking, I want to see what another linebacker can do in the middle. Poppinga inside would be interesting experiment.

The injury to Cullen Jenkins seemed much more devestating. Perhaps its because expectations for the Packer season have fallen.

lol; blast from the past....

When Barnett gets back from his knee surgury he's going to be a small, weak, undisaplined and now slow LB who is making a lot of money. I think the smart thing to do would be to cut him, but the Packers will keep him around and waste their time and money.

[MJZiggy]

What if they were to do something crazy like wait and see how he recovers?

[Brohm]

It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out. I don't think Bishop is too much of a downgrade over Barnett (given his current play). He is a heavier hitter and may be a wash in coverage, but he has shown to be capable in preseason.

I also wouldn't mind seeing how Hawk does in the middle. I don't think we are getting the most bang for the buck out of our former top 5 pick and would like to see him more involved in the D. If he is a definate upgrade, let Barnett man the weak side. He's gotten paid so $$ shouldn't be an issue :P Hell, we have Chillar and Popps yet to experiment with.

Overall, I think we have a good group of LBs. The coaches just need to sort shite out and put them in a position to be successful. Winston Moss should have some insight....

I'd love to see how Hawk fares in the middle.
Come Sunday, Chillar would be most helpful in reining in the Bear's tight ends. I hope they assign Woodson to Hester whenever he's on the field.
Harris would make for an ugly mismatch.

& pay an injury settlement equal to the GNP of Costa Rica. You can't really cut a guy in that situation.

The inactives from Sunday were: Brian Brohm 3rd QB, CB Pat Lee, RB DeShawn Wynn, LB Brandon Chillar, DE Jason Hunter, LB Danny Lansanah, OT Breno Giacomini, OG Allen Barbre

We went into the game w/4 LB's and lost the starting Mike?

Ooops.

I think it will be Popp, Bishop and Hawk, Bishop at the Mike.

Hawk is from Dayton OH. One of his relatives had a little blurb in the Dayton Daily News in early September that Hawk told his family his chest injury was a real bitch and he thought he'd be out the first month. Chillar is the only surprise to the good this yearn. Barnett was out to lunch all year, Hawk is hurt and didn't have the break-out season, Popp has been Popp. He's all fill and little cover. Chillar has been a pleasant surprise, but the LB group really hasn't hacked the program this year at all.

I'm with this all the way. It's too bad for Barnett but I wouldn't be surprised if we noticed a different kind of defensive vibe this weekend. Maybe nothing dramatic, but I'm expecting a lot more football energy.
