He's got this season to prove he's not a bust in my eyes. If he can stay healthy he's shown he can deliver some pressure in some situations. Maybe this'll be the year he takes it to a new level?...one can dream.

Very solid when healthy. Needs a pitch count.

I like that it is in his court to "stick it to the team" and play into a contract BIGGER than the $7.x million they could have optioned him for.

Personally I don't predict that will happen. But I hope it does! Can you imagine if we got that kind of production out of him this year?

Yeah but. That would be a great problem to have next year if he had that kind of production this year.

Yeah, Nick Perry is definitely not a bust . . . yet. He's been a decent player that has been slowed by injuries. But the guy can obviously play. His talent is undeniable. This upcoming season is likely a make-or-break it year for him. He could turn the corner, or he could fade into mediocrity. I can honestly see it going either way. While it's probably more likely that he will not take his game to the next level, I certainly wouldn't be shocked if he did.

Perry might not be a bust, but I think it's fair to suggest he deserves some of the same thoughts/treatment that Hawk got for not living up to his draft position. Hawk while not amazing, was able to consistently stay on the field for years. While Perry flashes once in a while and then he's gone.

Also I keep hearing about Perry's injuries holding him back... he played in 15 games last year. I don't think his lack of plays last year was due to injuries as much as his lack of playing time because he was the 4th OLB as Neal got (and I assume earned) more snaps than him. I know some of Neal's snaps came at DL, but I also think Neal got more OLB snaps. So my thought is Perry needs to do better in practice to get (and hopefully earn) more snaps in games... at least if he wants more playing time.

Guys, he is not going to produce any more this year than we have become used to.

He is the 3rd string OLB.

Can't produce if you are not on the field.

Though, I never thought he was given much of a chance. Our staff seems to hate rookies, and a rookie who gets injured becomes a rookie twice. And by that point, he is a forgotten man.

beast (35m) : 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 (36m) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (37m) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (4h) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (5h) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

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

wpr (7h) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (7h) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (7h) : 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 (9h) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (11h) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (18h) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (18h) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (18h) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Game not over yet

beast (19h) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (19h) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (19h) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (20h) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

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

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Oh snap!!!

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

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

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

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

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Ben Johnson as their head coach. (via @tompelissero )

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Looks like Lions OC Ben Johnson is going to be the Bears coach

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : TD but another failed 2 pt conversion!

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Ravens still alive, but barely

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Or not...BUT THAT CATCH BY NACUA

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : WE MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE KANATA

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Time to make dinner

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Ouch!!!! Dagger for the Eagles

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : DAGGER

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : pass plays

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Seems some of their passes are too deep. Reminds me of MLF as well.

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oren Burks with a clutch pass break up...I will now light myself on fire

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : a run on 2nd down and 17 from McVay? So that's where MLF gets it from!

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Do or die time for the Rams

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking field goals are impressive

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oh that might be a backbreaker

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking doesn't make much sense
