[QUOTE="TJV, post: 619442, member: 4300"] I think it’s too early to make this determination about Matthews. Is he “looking for escape routes out of working during camp”? If you believe that you have to believe he (and the Packers) are lying about his knee and now elbow injuries. I don’t have any reason to believe that. I think it’s more likely McCarthy is being careful with one of his star players. “Could he be holding himself out due to his disdain (regardless what he says about it publicly) for playing inside?” He could be, but that would be foolish of him. Not only was the D significantly better after mid-season, Clay had 8.5 of his 11 sacks in the second half of the season.
