Packers Inside Linebackers, this should be a crime, what the Packers have done the past 10 years is VERY, VERY SAD! Basically, NO HELP! AJ Hawk was a player, BUT, lacked that athleticism of the great ones! But, AJ was a "Football Player!" A total lack of drafting a player, NO free agent pick ups, nothing to help the Packers make a defense that was a scary one! So, what do we have on our roster?
Christian Kirksey is already gone - a one year experiment & cap space casualty. Players remaining that had meaningful time on the field:
Krys Barnes - Rookie
Kamaal Martin - Rookie
Ty Summers - Year 2
Oren Burke - Year 3
Barnes & Martin were a pleasant surprise! As rookies, played meaningful minutes and demonstrated some athleticism that the Packers so desperately need at inside linebacker! Will they make the next step? Time will tell, but, chances are, next year they will have an opportunity to show it! Summers & Burke are special team players at their best! Burke was a big experiment that has failed! Summers, was a stab in the dark! Chances are, both are gone next year!
Remaining on the roster, but no real game experience:
De'Jon Harris - Rookie
Ray Wilborn - Rookie
James Burgess - Year 4
Slim pickings & slim chance to make next years team!
So, will the Packers draft an inside linebacker with their first pick?????
