What Happened to Jake Ryan?

Jake Ryan

We’ve ignored this simply because there are so many guys playing awful football on the Green Bay Packers offense. Well, there’s someone playing awful football on the Green Bay Packers defense as well. He’s the same guy that’s been playing awful football since he’s been in the lineup.

We’re speaking of inside linebacker Nate Palmer.

Palmer was at it again against Chicago. Out there, sucking it up, giving us A.J. Hawk flashbacks.

That’s been par for the course.

A few weeks ago, the Packers actually did something about this. They benched Palmer against the Panthers and played rookie Jake Ryan.

Ryan played 38 defensive snaps to Palmer’s 23 against Carolina.

Ryan turned in a team-leading 10 tackles and we thought, “Oh, good. We’ve finally seen the last of Nate Fucking Palmer.”

But no.

The Green Bay Packers don’t operate with any sort of logic.

Because logic dictates that when you have a veteran player who sucks, you replace him with a youngster. You watch that youngster take his lumps simply because his upside is higher and he will make your team better in the long run. Sometimes that happens right in front of your eyes.

Guys learn on the job all the time.

It’s not as if Ryan has shown us that he’s a game-changer when he’s been out there on defense. It’s simply that there’s no world where he’s a bigger liability than Nate Palmer and, as we mentioned, Ryan has a much higher upside.

You let him play.

Well, if you’re any other football team than the Green Bay Packers, you let him play.

Where has Ryan been since that flash in Carolina? Relegated right back to special teams.

Ryan played a grand total of one defensive snap against Detroit and Minnesota.

 

Meanwhile, Palmer had the second-highest snap count among linebackers on the team during those two games. He’s second to only Clay Matthews.

It’s not as if the Packers defense has been playing badly, but Palmer has been playing badly.

Is making the switch to Ryan going to lower the overall level of the defense’s play?

No.

So, seriously, what the hell?

Who’s running this goddam clown show? Let’s make the switch already.

    I agree. Between him, Casey Hayward, Adams and DickRog, I don’t know who’s worse. Remember Jerry Holmes? He played so fucking bad and the coaches didn’t do a thing. He actually cut himself he was so pathetic! Thats what these 4 losers should do – coaching staff has no nads.

    Nope, they entitle their players on the depth chart. Look at how bad Adams and Hayward are playing as well. They look like they don’t give a shit.

    I think Hayward has stepped up his play the last couple weeks. He’s been tackling well. Every Packer defender is a liability in crossing routes and drags. The defense seems to have no answers for that and he’s bad like everyone else in this department, but I thought he flashed a few times Thursday night.

    It would help the DB’s on the drag and crossing routes if one of the ilb’s would drop in coverage. Last year Barrington would at least drill a receiver if he ran across the middle ball or not. Palmer just stood and watched the Chicago TE come across the middle for the TD. The TE appeared to be within five yards of the line. Palmer should have knocked him on his ass rather than watching him run by. Ryan needs an opportunity that lasts longer than one game. Start Ryan out like the Pack did Barrington last year. Let Ryan work his way into the plan with some action that spans more than one game then set three games. It will work.

    Palmer is the worst player on the whole team. Adams is the second. And they keep getting opportunities above everyone else. The coaches are irritating me infinitely with their absolute stupidity. Glad I can find a forum to not worry being pc.

    jtmax its just how this coaching staff is. They believe they are so almighty at their job they can up coach anyone and through the teaching of “fundamentals” and “execution” make any player better.

    Its arrogance on an absurd level even for the NFL.

      Yep!

    MM and TT and DC play favorites, they always have. There cannot be any other reason as to why, nothing else would make sense IMO. How do you define “favorite” could be debated though . . . like higher draft choice, ass kisser, physical attraction (Yep! lol!), or just plain not liking the “better” player. These Buffoons are ruining this teams fire as well as their window with Rodgers. Get rid of these 3 fucks.

    I have seen this before. Infante was the same way. Your a starter for life. If Infante was still coaching Perry Kemp would still be starting!! Fuckstick McCarthy is the same way. He has the same mentality as Gregg and Infante. ” There is nothing wrong with the coaches or the scheme! I am not changing anything! my players are good. They just need to execute and play better!” Hopefully MM ends the same way as Gregg and Infante for being so fuckin stubborn and stupid!!!

    Forgot about goodso as well. Cut him and let gunter play.

    • Avatar for MMTTDCSUCK MMTTDCSUCK says:
      8 years ago

      Yep! This one appears so obvious as Gunther looked like a FA with a huge upside. I have NEVER seen that upside from Goodson. It may be that Goodson has it, or practices better, but in real game play?

    It seems to me like playing Ryan at ILB would be a lot like playing Janis more at WR: very little risk and possibly high reward.

      Yep!
