He's got a tough row to hoe. But he could be a good story of maybe finally getting it right and doing the almost impossible. I'll be pulling for him.

The fact that he is back with the Packers tells you what they think of his football talent, and the changes he has made in his life.

They just need to NEVER let him out of their sight.

This guy needs to be part of the rotation pronto.

If Jolly comes back and gives anything close to what he was in 09 suddenly the d line might be deep. If Jolly sticks you have Raji, Pickett, and Jolly for beef, and Jones, Neal, Daniels, and Worthy (probably PUP though) as rushers. Throw in Wilson and I could see them carrying seven d linemen this year.

Just read an article about Perry on packersnews and it sounds like he is embracing OLB and even lost a little weight. I have my doubts about him but if he proves to be a player and Jolly and Bishop make is back and make an impact we could have the makings of a decent defense this year.

Well, hopefully he can get there. But we have no idea what kind of shape he is in, and how long it will take him to shake off the rust from not playing football since 2009. I'm rooting for the guy, but I'm not sure what to expect.

Yes, we have no clue what kind of shape he is in but he is still under contract and it won't hurt to have him come up to the next OTA so we can see if he has anything left.

This is going to be interesting to follow. I was of the opinion that Jolly more than likely will be out of shape and will have a snowballs chance in hell to make this roster. Then, I got to thinking. The Packers met with him prior to reducing his contract, so they got a good look at him. They could have just released him. I'm guessing the Packers like what they saw or feel he has a chance. This is going to be a story that I'm going to closely follow during TC.

Good Luck Jolly!

Here's Jolly's reaction to completing the proscribed program and "graduating" with the judge's approval: "She seen something in me even though she gave me the sentence, she seen something in me."

I wonder what she seen.

I wonder what we'll seen when he arrives.

Not only that, several sources said the Packers intended to simply release him, but agreed to meet with him, then changed their minds about releasing him. Of course, it has been written many times that the coaches genuinely like the guy because he is a fanatic about playing football, and their personal like for the guy has entered into it.

Could be that they aren't counting on keeping him, but figure he will make a good camp body because he has always been an intense practice player. Maybe they figure on releasing him eventually but are willing to give him a chance to show other teams that he can play, while using him to elevate practice intensity.
