Sounds like they're just bullshitting back and forth in the press.

My guess, not having any actual insider information. Is that Casey talk about Clay if anything would have been based on talks before last week. Clay has been playing snaps inside all season. I wouldn't doubt if he had said something to his brother or family during the season about preferring to be outside.

But if he continues to play even close to how he did against the Bears, he might just grow to love ILB.

Personally if it was me, I would prefer ILB or SS. Can get after the QB at times, stuff runners at time, cover passes at other times. No other positions are as flexible for a player to just play.

Exactly. How could he NOT love having games like he did against the Bears? The guy looked like an elite superstar once again. I know he won't always look like that, but he's being put in a position to succeed. He played a great game. From my perspective, he was barely playing "good" before the switch. Hopefully he embraces the opportunity because he has the chance to make a huge impact for this team and truly be the leader of the defense. Moreover, I've always thought Hawk could be a pretty good #2 ILB playing along an aggressive player like Mathews. Hawk will never be a big-time playmaker, but he could be a very good complement to someone like Mathews.

1) Brothers sometimes stir the pot for their brothers

2) Casey plays for the Eagles (who the Packers are playing next)

3) Seemed like Casey was just saying that he thought Clay preferred not pass rushing... can you name a 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB that LIKES NOT pass rushing?

The best use for Clay Matthews III is probably 1st and 2nd down have him line up over at ILB and then 3rd down at OLB. If 2nd down is 10 or more yards, toss him to the outside.
