Two things:
1) Mathews was scouted as the best pass-rusher in this draft at LB. He has a good motor, and has the ability to play with the big boys. Still, needs to show he can stay healthy - I fully expect him to start before the season is done.
2) I think it was someone over at Packersnews.com that pointed out Mike McCarthy was playing Barnett for two series, then sitting him out for two series. Good way of using the depth IMO. That said, get Desmond Bishop in there! The dude has earned playing time for goodness sakes - find a way to get him on the field in some packages.
