House: Harness, not Surgery

The good news, House says, is that the left shoulder subluxation he suffered against the Chargers does not require surgery. He even pointed to Week One as a target. The bad news is that whenever House does return, he realizes he won't be the same player. House will need to wear a harness the entire season, which will limit his flexibility and physicality.

Really really sucks. But we'll see how it plays out.

I say we let him play the dime and let Shields take the starting position. I'm more worried about SS and MD Jennings. I like more of what I saw in McMillian.

He wasn't anything to rave about anyways. No one said peep until he was hurt, then suddenly he was the savior or something.

Not sure where the savior thing came from, but I heard a lot about him throughout camp, and even during the off season. He had really improved and was a clear front runner to be a starting CB on the Packer's. This one hurts. The harness might very well make him no better than a 4th or 5th string CB, although I honestly have no idea.

That's not to say he will NEVER be good and perhaps that's what folks are saying ... that he has the most potential of the cornerbacks. When it comes to what he's shown thus far, no, he was not the clear front runner. None of them were nor have been.

We all seen what a bum shoulder did to Tramon Williams... Davon House should shut it down til healthy. He's young and needs to learn things the right way. Wearing a harness will hamper that progress and he'll be less of a corner for it.

This quote sums the situation up nicely, although I'd have to say the Desmond Bishop injury was worse:

This injury is easily one of the biggest disappointments for the Packers this summer.

Does anyone know if this is something that could heal close to 100% anytime during the season?

I understand the small sample size doesn't necessarily prove anything, but the guy looked good. Moreover, I remember reading about House's improvement early in the off season. Perhaps it was a bunch of lies, but I can only assume the authors have seen more than I have. Of course, I thought the guy would develop into a solid CB from the day he was drafted. I thought he simply needed playing time and experience.

If nothing else, it had more to do with the unimpressive play of Shields et al. Even if that's the case, the end result would be the same, though.

As for how good he was, go back and look at that first preseason game. He was really coming on this year. Al Harris 2.0.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
