Before this season started he was called a question mark. And well he has 0 sacks on the season so far to my knowledge and is not creating any pressure. I don't know how hes been playing in coverage or against the run but he's gonna have to get a bit of a pass rush one on one or OLines will just role over to Clays side.

His pressure/hit on Favre caused the first interception.

He has been a huge disappointment.

Last year, his stats projected out to something like 8 sacks and something like 30 QB pressures had he played the entire year as a starter.

Those are decent numbers, and with more attention being paid to Clay those numbers would not be all that difficult to get.

But he has been thoroughly under-whelming. He missed two games, I believe, but up until last week his play had been lacking. In fact, outside of containing the edge last week, he has not done anything of note this season.

He was a pleasant surprise last year, but this year he really is playing like a 7th round draft pick. If we had any decent option besides him, I'd have to think he would have been challenged pretty seriously for his position.

I have not focused on him during the games. How many times has he been asked to rush the QB this year? I didn't think it was very often. It is pretty had to get a sack if you are dropping back into pass coverage on half or more of the plays.

He is 6th in overall tackles and 3rd in assists. It seems to me he is doing exactly what the coaches are asking him to do.

He just still doesn't get there on a consistent basis.

And having Clay mainly play against RTs, while Jones takes on the LTs doesn't help, either.

He was undersized, but quite fast, last year. He ran by RTs on some plays and disengaged a little easier, it seemed. LTs are usually of a different caliber.

We just don't have anyone to really compliment Matthews at OLB on the roster right now. Just like everyone predicted and was hammering on.

I'll be picking out my Jerry Hughes for this year.

I didn't notice him all year long ... meaning his playing decent but isn't playing spectacular either.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

This is surely an important point.

We need to see the stats on the number of drop backs.

With Matthews a pass rushing phenom you don't want to waste him in coverage.

How many times do we rush 5 guys on a regular basis? Not often it seems. And that 5th guy is often a blitzing corner, safety or ILB.

Jones missed pretty much the entire off season plus two regular season games. CM3 was able to jump in and get rolling. But Jones was a 7th rounder not an elite bluechip 1st round talent.

No doubt he'll get competition this summer. OLB could be a draft day target (although we said that last year).

If you look at just the sacks from Jones.. you are going to be disappointed.

But if you look at his overall game.. especially setting the edge and holding it well.. then you start to see the complete picture on this kid.

Go back, look at his college ball.. he was a run support/coverage backer.. with little pass rush experience. He is green as they come in that element.. and he is not Clay.. he doesn't possess that same array of speed and power...

He has some work to do in the pass rush, he has a shoulder injury that I believe is still in a harness.. yet he isn't a liability in the run or coverage.

Hopefully his pass rush improves.. or they figure a rotation of Zombo and Jones to start to apply more pressure from that side and improve in the facet.

But the kid is far from awful.

beast (3h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (3h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (13h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (13h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (15h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (16h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (17h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you

wpr (17h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (17h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (17h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (17h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (18h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (18h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (19h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (19h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (19h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome
