Packers DE Jerel Worthy underwent surgery for a torn ACL last week.

[run pMc]

They took Worthy off the field on a cart and were looking at his knee...my first thought was "it's an ACL". I'm not surprised. If quickness is supposed to be his game, I'm not optimistic. He's on a rookie contract and could still become a decent rotational player...so I wouldn't give up on him. If he's as gung-ho as described he might rededicate himself to the weight room and surprise people.
I thought Daniels played a little better.

Daniels is scrappy. Not a starter but solid backup.

Daniels is Scrappy.

Puppy power!!!!!

I wouldn't expect this to seriously degrade him or take away his first step like an achilles would. Worthy showed as much as a rookie DT usually does.

Brad Jones could cover you like a blanket even if you were on your bike.

Brad Jones would be in the wrong position, and then slip and fall down when his only responsiblity was to shadow Lynn Dickey from running 50 yards for a TD

Statistically, Daniels played a lot better. These numbers track QB pressure by the front five boys, down lineman and OLB's. Sacks, QB hits,& hurries....

Clay Matthews 12.76%
Mike Neal 10
Nick Perry 9.52%
Dezman Moses 8.24%
Mike Daniels 7.02%
Erik Walden 6.81%
BJ Raji 6.22%
CJ Wilson 5.56%
Jerel Worthy 2.56%
Ryan Pickett 2.23%

MDaniel's numbers were pretty damned good for a rookie interior DL.
Worthy has talent, but he's got to broaden his arsenal. He basically uses one move and a counter. It will take more solid moves than that to make him an effective PR force from the inside.

I wanna see Nick Perry, Clay Matthews, Mike Neal, Dezman Moses,
& Mike Daniels on the field at the same time in second and third & long situation. If Worthy gets healthy after camp spot him in that rotation, after "learnin'" him some tricks. I'm sure Turgo's got a gimmick or two the kid can put in his PR golf bag

[Joemailman]

That's amazing that Perry's numbers barely exceeded Pickett's. Definitely needs to get his body stronger. How much can a guy work on upper body strength while rehabilitating a knee?

Those are really interesting stats...not sure what the source is. I do wonder where a healthy Desmond Bishop would have ended up.
This is going to be an important offseason for Nick Perry...all the rookies, really.

I wonder about this too. I'd expect some things could be done without much trouble post-surgery.

Now that's just harsh.

[smuggler]

Hodge had no knees coming out of college. He was a poor draft choice.

Everything about Hodge was great, except the knees, to be fair.

If every running back the Packers faced was Travis Jervey, he would have been All-Pro.
