Not only are Nick Perry and Datone Jones important and talented players for the Packers defense but both players need to secure their futures in the league, whether it’s with the Packers or not. Perry had a 5th year team option on his rookie deal that was not picked up. Jones is playing for that option this year. It will be interesting to see how much of the Packers future these two players contribute to.

Lots of Dline guys with contracts looming. Coincidence?


It's difficult some times to quantify the effect injuries have on a career.  Is a player a bust?  Is that player just hurt a lot?  Is that player not playing well because he's playing hurt?  Is that player just not good?  If this player ever got healthy and was allowed to develop, will he be

What ticks me off is how it always seems that players suddenly become "pro bowlers" in contract years.

In the case of Perry and Jones, and Neal too, I think it's partly health but mostly the coaching staff finally maximizing use of them. People in this forum and otherwise have been saying from the beginning with Nick Perry, he is a more natural DE, just without the size - a tweener. Now, he's getting used that way - a down lineman in passing situations with another faster pass rusher outside him at OLB. Jones didn't do very well as a DE even in passing situations, but he has contributed in passing situations as a nose or interior rusher in the D Line.

Both would be better in a 4-3, and I think when they are up for new contracts, some 4-3 team will offer them more than the Packers care to pay. Even though they have played better this season, players doing what they do just are not that hard to find. Are they busts as first rounders? I'd say yes.

Mike Daniels is their priority. These other two guys are role players and haven't earned the big payday. Offer them fair contracts for their body of work as Packers and if they scoff - move on. Mike Daniels on the other hand is a special player. Man has a heart and self-motivated. Turns out he's talented too.

The only thing players like Datone Jones, Nick Perry and Mike Neal have in common is they play well when on the field but their health is the issue.

The coincidence is obvious for all of us watching the games and it is that those boys are healthy for a change.

B.J. Raji is back at his comfortable position AND the fact that interest was little to nothing was a huge eye opener to him. He took success for granted.

Kaepernick was 13-25 with 160 yards passing for the day. 40 of those yards came on the Patton shovel pass that was more like an end around and on the 47 yarder to Torrey Smith that was a well thrown ball.

The rest of the day? 73 yards on 11-23 attempts. That's not bad for a D coming off a short week traveling to the west coast.
