I remember several years ago when Fred Taylor got the nickname "Fragile Fred" after missing 6, 3, 14 games in his 2nd, 3rd, 4th NFL seasons. Everyone was saying how he can't stay healthy. He went on to start every game his next two seasons. My point is that injury streaks can come to an end. Like investments, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I understand the apprehension behind Matthews and his injuries but I don't get the resignation to them. Is it simply a feeling of "If I expect him to miss 4 or 5 games I won't be disappointed when he does"

Clay Matthews said yesterday that the Packers played Nick Perry and "obviously" he wasn't ready and that the Packers were desparate for bodies at LB.

That being said, I think Perry just hasn't fully healed.
