Zombo is the answer opposite of Clay Matthews. Haven't caught any mistakes so far in his game...

Clay Matthews out of the game = the entire defense struggling, not just Zombo.

Um, I fail to see how Zombo is the answer opposite of Clay given your last statement.

What is so good about Clay is that he can play the run just as well as he can pass-rush. That's rare, and mighty impressive.

Zombo has some potential at excelling against the run... but he is nowhere the natural athlete with burst that Clay is.

Rock makes a spot-on point (+1, btw). I'd even say with the emergence of Shileds and Tramon, that CB is not really a priority at this point. Hell, with Jolly possibly coming back and Neal showing something, I'd say D-line isn't a need area either. Add to that the emergence of Bishop and solid play of Hawk... ILB is also not a position of concern. And with Collins / Burnett / Peprah at Safety, it too is not a glaring weakness.

OLB has to be at the top of the list for Ted on D I think. It's interesting to mention how McGinn, who has pretty good inside info, heavily implied that were it not for Bulaga falling, Jerry Hughes would have been the Packers' pick.

Not only Zombo, but all of these "no names" forced to play extended time are only going to get better for next year. Yeah, imagine a full Packer roster with backups and 3rd stringers having played more than expected, added to a pretty good starting 22....yup, looking pretty good!

Zombo is a rookie converted DE. An offseason in the program is gonna benefit him like it did Chmura or KGB. He's gonna grow from a boy to a man.

He has Clay Matthew's heart without the talent. He's Aaron Kampmann, only able to play OLB. I think we should draft the top OLB on the board next year in the first round.

Any other white guys we can compare him to? Someone already mentioned Poppinga. I think it's funny how we always end up comparing white players to other white players. I do the same thing sometimes.

I like Zombo. The forced fumble was a huge play. Too bad he is not looking like a pass rushing force, as he appeared he might be early in the season. As lords_of_thelma said, he's like Poppinga with upside. You could also say that he's like Poppinga with a much smaller contract.

I would love to see a bookend for Matthews taken in the first round next year.

I like the poppinga analogy, he just seems a lot less stiff and more athletic in general.

As for draft needs, since this thread is drifting that way, I agree with what others have said about defensive depth...it actually seems really good if they can stay healthy. We need an eventual replacement for Harris/Woody, but I actually think WR is becoming a pressing need.
