[QUOTE="weeds, post: 619423, member: 39"] I'm coming to be of the opinion that Matthews isn't the "guy" that I thought he was before he got the big contract. Perhaps he's just doing the old "Ken Ruettgers" thing ... you know, the veterans looking for escape routes out of working during camp and all that stuff, but, I mean really...this is getting a little ridiculous. Could he be holding himself out due to his disdain (regardless what he says about it publicly) for playing inside? He has reminded reporters that he "is afterall, a pass rusher".... story goes that he took himself out of the NFC Championship game last year -- essentially because he was 'tired'... Coincidence that his teammates chose Julius Peppers to captain during the NFC Championship game and NOT one of the supposed leaders of that defense and arguably the best defensive player the Pack has? Perhaps THE most talented? Can't speak for anyone else, but a guy in a veteran leadership position should be teaching these young guys toughness - mental and physical toughness -- NFL toughness, I'm not inferring that he's anything less than tough because I'd be damn polite to the guy if I met him public...but...particularly as a linebacker.... has he gone Hollywood? Prima donna??? Where the f**k is Kevin Greene when you need him??? I'll point and laugh at the first guy who says "It's training camp. Veterans get nothing out of training camp." [/QUOTE]
