Jake Ryan found out he’d get his first career start in the days before the Green Bay Packers trip to Detroit last week, and the butterflies started to build.[URL=http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/0ba37eccf4226c06e0518b5ed38b3be9da41f13c/r=2000x200/local/-/media/2015/12/04/WIGroup/PackersNews/635847914287867638-evan55.jpg" title="View image][/URL]

I'm glad Ryan is finally getting to play.
He should have been starting months ago IMHO.
Palmer was just a body.

In my opinion we still need to draft an ILB.

Ryan plays the run really well, pretty sure he'll be toast in coverage though.

Ryan played pretty good, but I mostly remember him playing well against the run. I am not sure he is quick enough or has the instincts to be anything other than serviceable against the pass which has been a weakness for way too long.

We have drafted guys aplenty to prevent the pass, but avoided it in the area where we seem to get burned the most often.

Since Ryan was one of my favorite draft picks this year, I love this.

I just wonder why he didnt get more reps earlier.

I'll be honest, I was more than pleasantly surprised at his play in the Lions game. He wraps up and tackles aggressively and with a bit of ferocity. It was nice to see.

Mucky Tundra (13-Aug) : With LVN that is; need to see what happens in the next practice

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
