That's sort of a misrepresentation. He didn't miss a game his first two years with Green Bay. Last year he had a back injury and was out for most of the season. So yeah, he suffered an injury last year and missed a lot of time, but it's not like his stint with Green Bay was plagued with missed time for injuries.
Swear he was getting hurt all the time 2 years ago. Would Only play bits here and there during games. If he did t get a sack early they seemed to show him injured on the sideline. Not an every down guy for sure.
He said in his press conference that it was a bulging disc and the surgery took care of it...and he was able to make it back for the playoff game. Said it feels great.
Fingers crossed...
This could be enough to push this defense back to a solid unit, or it could be an extremely expensive, injury-riddled disaster. Would rather swing for the fences I guess for a couple years I guess. The NFC is as weak as it has been. Basically if you are a team with lots of question marks you are actually in pretty good shape in the NFC.
Still surprised they feel comfortable trotting out basically the same offensive line as last year. I guess we hope the remodeled defense holds teams under 20 points next season.
I guess we will see who is there when they pick in the first round. At least with the OL there were some signs of life last year, and some reasonable expectation due to age that it will improve.
That defense was looking bad, old, injured and expensive last year. It's going to take Z. Smith and Hunter being healthy and playing at the level they were playing before they got hurt for the defense to be good. If either guy misses major time or is not playing at a high level the defense is not going to be very good.

I'm sure that factors in to the new staff's decision to run it back instead of going with the fire sale approach. That kind of futility certainly has something to do with personnel, but it's not like they had less talent than every other defense in the last 20 years. Scheme and coaching factor in for sure, as well as a fair amount of probability/chance. They should hopefully compete for a playoff spot this year.
Agreed. Seemed more a a scheme problem than personnel problem to me. Then there’s this, lol:
