    Nick Perry

    As some of you know, I'm driving the Nick Perry bandwagon. I hope I'm right. I also feel he might be the biggest key to the season. It's good to read Kevin Greene gush about him.

    “(Perry) looks really good. Really good. Explosive as ever. When he strikes that pad in individual periods, he strikes it,” Greene said. “He has it physically to do what it takes to play at a high level at this position. He’s hungry. Great work ethic. He is tuned in.”
    On the other hand, he was more tempered with his comments on Mike Neal:

    As for the Neal experiment, Greene said, “Obviously, he’s learning a lot of new things at outside linebacker in our Okie. Just increasing his vision, whereas before he never really had to understand where all five eligibles are and what that means to him. So, his biggest thing is expanding his vision and understanding what everybody means to his job. It’s repetitions – and that’s true with anybody transitioning to this position. You just need more reps, you need more time in cleats on the grass and seeing things and making mistakes and learning from them.”

      What he said about Neal probably could have been said (and maybe was) about Perry last year. Every guy transitioning from a down lineman to standing up has to go through that transition. Perry's achilles heel last year was coverage. His recognition should be better this year, and there are reports he's slimmed down a bit. There should be some improvement there.

      I can't run no more
      With that lawless crowd
      While the killers in high places
      Say their prayers out loud
      But they've summoned, they've summoned up
      A thundercloud

        No doubt, but I thought the disparity in the remarks shows that Greene isn't just some rah-rah coach talking up his players. I think he's genuinely excited about Perry.

          I hope so. I saw enough to be excited about his physical talents. The comment about his work ethic is what gets me really going. However I do remember an article saying the exact opposite of his work ethic.

          Time will tell.

            I've been a big Perry hater. I hope I'm wrong.

              I wasn't high on Perry just because he had stated that he'd prefer to play in a 4-3, rather than a 3-4 defense. Last year was a wash because of the injury and rookieness (if that's a word). If he stays healthy and still sucks this year, trade his ass to a 4-3 team in the off-season. That's assuming the Packers are still playing a 3-4 by next year, which even if Capers is let go/retires, I think the Packers will still do. I'm pretty sure McCarthy has stated he prefers a 3-4 defense.

                How much more "cleats on the grass" time does Perry have vs Neal? They're both unknown quantities as far as I'm concerned. I hope Perry starts cause he's got the potential. Actually, debth is a good problem to have.
                One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                  I thought his achilles heel was his achilles heel - or was it his knee? Anyway, interesting thread and compelling thread title.

                    He had Achilles Mother's Right Wrist last year. If only she had dunked him in completely.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      And knee too. Apparently baby Nick was so big that Mom had to grab him with both hands.

                        he cranked his knee in the Houston game. That did not look good. Forgot about the wrist. The fog of war...

                          I'm riding shotgun on the Perry bus, so I assume he's fucked.

                          After the "roughing the passer" hit on Luck last year it became apparent what he could be. What he will be is yet to be seen, but I am hopeful.

                            Preseason against the Chargers. He's got some real power, but in this game he went wide too often and got himself out of plays. Bonus, a good looking play by House

                              I'm with JH. I am never wrong when I argue with rbaloha, and rarely wrong when I agree with JH....hope this is one of those rarely moments.
