Packer Linebackers!

When I think linebackers, I think FEAR!  Intimidation!  Big Hits!  Butkus! Singletary! Lanier!  Taylor!

When I think Packer linebackers, I think, RAY NITSCHKE!!!!  (Even the spelling of his last name is scary!!!!!!)


Guess what!  NOBODY on the present Packer roster of linebackers scares me!  Sure Matthews is good, but does this face scare me?


Alright, current linebackers on the roster?

Packer Linebackers        Years
Clay Matthews                   4
Eric Walden                       5
AJ Hawk                           7
Desmond Bishop               6
Robert Francois                 3
Brad Jones                         4
DJ Smith                            2
Dezman Moses                  R
Frank Zombo                     3
Jamari Lattimore                2
Terrell Manning                 R
Nick Perry                         R
Micah Johnson                  1

Big list!  These are all the linebackers on the total current roster! Just like tight ends, a lot of these players help on special teams.  Plus, we run a 3-4 defense.  The positives about our roster:
1 - we are young
2 - Matthews!
3 - That's it!

What free agents are out there?
Anthony Spencer, Dallas
Paul Kruger, Baltimore
Brian Urlacher, Chicago
Shaun Phillips, San Diego

The only one here I would go after is Kruger from Baltimore!  Had 7.5 sacks and has a little edge to him!

2013 Linebackers in the NFL Draft                      40 Time
Alec Ogeltree, Georgia  ILB (6'3 - 236)                 4.70 
Kevin Minter, LSU  ILB (6' - 246)                         4.81
Manti Te'o, ILB Notre Dame (6'1 - 241)                4.82
Kevin Reddick, ILB North Carolina (6'1 - 243)     4.72
Dion Jordan, OLB Oregon (6'6 - 248)                   4.60
Ezekiel Ansah, OLB BYU (6'5  - 274)                  4.63
Jarvis Jones, OLB Georgia (6'2 - 242)                   4.70
Barkevious Mingo, OLB LSU (6'4 - 241)             4.58

There are a bunch of interesting athletes here!  I would error on the side of speed!!  I like Ogeltee from Georgia and Mingo from LSU!  STAY AWAY FROM Manti Te'o!!!!!!

I would say Matthews is the only player safe.  We need speed & guys that can tackle!!!!
