After coming off a devastating ACL injury, he came back and played fairly well. I noticed his upper body was huge. He was also making a good mount of tackles for a loss, one per week for I think five or six straight games.

Do you think he peaked out from his injury, or does he still have a ways to go before he's back to 100%? Most say it takes one year after rehab to be back to full strength from ACL injuries.

He played very well, imo, and coming from one who has had an ACL repair and multiple other knee surgeries, I can say that the mental aspect of the recovery comes last. We didn't see much hesitation from Nick this year in regards to his knee but if there were any lingering thoughts in his head about the health of his knee, they should be gone completely by OTAs. I think we can expect to see that translated to the field.

Nick said the same thing when he appeared on the Larry McCarren show last month. He said there was a lot of swelling this year, which is normal, according to what other players who have had the same injury, have told him. So yeah, Nick should be fully recovered for the 2010 season.

He seemed alright moving forward and sideways. Dropping back not as much. Might still be tentative in that aspect. Hope he improves that flexibility for coverage.

Apart from waggling like a penguin when he walks onto the field, he looked great.

It's amazing that he can come back from this injury, has to split time at the start of the year, and still put a Pro Bowl worthy season together. I think that it's safe to say that we, once again, underestimated Nick at the start of the season.

What's this "we" crap? :lol: Nice Barnett is a borderline Pro Bowl player when healthy (which is saying a lot at mike) and we're lucky to have him. All of that trade talk was pissing me off.

Barnett did a great job with his comeback this year, but there were a few times where he would just look reeeealy slow to react. It seemed to be just a few random times, but I wouldn't doubt if those were the times when he didn't fully trust putting a quick blast of full force through an aching knee. I'd assume those possible remnants would be completely gone next year.

Yea I have always liked Nick. I never doubted his ability, or thought that he ever really played bad....so that "we" thing doesn't really work haha.

But yes many people were doubting him at the beginning of the season.

Nick's always been one of my favorite Packers. Once again, he got 100+ tackles. His injury year ('08) was the only time in his career he didn't.

    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
    wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
    Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
    beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
    packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
