Real high on Datko it looks like...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.

I'd worry more about Perry than Worthy. It's not that uncommon for 300+ lb. guys to coast at times, especially when they're out there every play. Worthy will be part of a rotation here, and should be a force. Perry has all the talent in the world, but doesn't always play like it. Greene is the perfect guy to get 100% out of him. Plus, maybe he'll be affected by that other USC guy who goes 110% every play.Originally posted by Pugger View PostMan, this article makes it sound like TT drafted a bunch of lazy misfits.I can't run no more

No kiddin'. I was pretty pumped and then I read that article which made me want to drink a bottle of Jack while listening to the Smiths over and over again.Originally posted by Pugger View PostMan, this article makes it sound like TT drafted a bunch of lazy misfits.
Strange the switch in model from try hard, love the game, over-achiever, high character guys to, reportedly, super talented underachievers. I assume TT is relying on the Coaching Staff?

Just remember that BJ Raji had the same rap. So saying its either/or is stretching the evidence by McGinn. Players like Matthews are rare in that they go close to 100% for the full play, every play. Even the Packers O tackles don't do that. Players going 100% often have had to overcome other limitations, like Matthews did with his size.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostNo kiddin'.

Talent can coast and still rule the roost. The bigger question is will they respond well when challenged? Worthy seemed to. Perry is seems more consistently in 3rd Gear.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Players who play 100% every down tend to get more nagging injuries as well. The harder you push teh more resistance you get, somethings give ever now and then.

What amazes me is before the draft, all these reporters and "experts" were praising Nick Perry as the perfect 3-4 guy, especially the GB 3-4...NOW, it's like the worst pick Thompson ever made. I hope Perry reads this stuff and lights a fire. And to agree with many, Greene and Matthews could be just what he needs as well.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostStrange the switch in model from try hard, love the game, over-achiever, high character guys to, reportedly, super talented underachievers.

The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murraugh

Perry will play all out how could you NOT with CMIII and Greene all over you?Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

If he doesn't have a passion for the game, I'm not sure Greene or anyone else can instill that in him. If he does, and just needs someone to help him focus and bear down, no one fits that bill better than Greene.I can't run no more

Sports Illustrated Grades:Originally posted by Smeefers View PostYou also have to remember that he gave number grades and he put both Perry and Worthy with 9's.
N. Parry @ 3.16 and J. Worthy @ 2.98.
3.99 to 3.10 -- Quality Prospect -- Someone that consistently gives good performances. Occasional Pro Bowl appearances.
3.09 to 2.75 -- First-Year Contributor -- Prospect that has the ability to make plays from the get-go and start early into his rookie season.
According to these grades both Perry and Worthy are picks that are likely to contribute to our 'D' this season.
If both of these prospects arrive in Green Bay pumped to learn the playbook and blend with the System TT's plans for these two men hopefully will determine his decision to draft them. TT has done his job well picking these prospects.
Now it's up to them tp prove that they can demonstrate leadership, a solid work ethic, a high motor and that their coachable and quality Green Bay Packers.
