Danny Trevathen "wishes" Green Bay had called him

[KYPack]

Clay is athletic and is a runner, he over pursues and shoots gaps to avoid blockers and when it works he looks fantastic because he blows the play up usually behind the line of scrimmage, but 75% of the time he guesses wrong and shits on his responsibility for cut back or holding the point of attack and the defense is violated. It happened way too much to consider him a viable candidate at ILB. It takes a different type of player to play inside in the 3-4. I think Clay would do about as well as Nick Barnett in a 4-3 where the MLB can run sideline to sideline.

Currently McCarthy has already stated that Matthews is going back to the outside. The current starters are going to be Barrington and Ryan. To be honest that isn't that bad. Ryan rebounded from a terrible regular season game against the Cardinals to having his best game of the season in the post season against the very same team. Ryan should add about 10 pounds.

He makes mistakes in the middle, but it's a sad commentary on our talent that no one could fill that spot better than CMIII. There is another factor in play here. We are using a race horse to pull a milk wagon. You don't pay a guy OLB money to play the middle. CMIII is basically out of position and we lose the heat he can provide by playing him there.

Another of his strengths we lose is his coverage. He is outstanding when we drop him into coverage at OLB. Capers is pretty clever at sneaking him into pass coverage and this is another plus we need to take advantage of.

Well, now the team can take advantage of those skills at OLB, but Ted still has a whole big hole to fill inside. And for my money, Jake Ryan's going to be a JAG. Meh.

Barrington, too, really. A hard hitter who isn't terribly mobile and can't cover anyone?

Ted better be studying up on those ILB's in the draft, and he'd best take a couple of them.
