[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 619514"] In preseason game 1, we saw Ryan being head and shoulders above the other inexperienced candidates in the knowing-what-he's-doing category. Palmer looks like he knows what he's doing but lacks in the all important execution department...he still looks like a Brad Jones redux. I've commented on Ryan looking pretty decent in zone pass coverage in his college tape, and his 4.65 speed would qualify him for man coverage against backs and TEs, with his coverage ability being a potential differentiator. At the same time, his well-noted smash-mouth SAM backer qualifications appear redundant with respect to Barrington. Now we get this from Wilde commenting on Wednesday's practice: "Rookie inside linebacker Jake Ryan took another step in the right direction – toward nailing down the spot we’ll call “the starting inside linebacker when Clay Matthews isn’t there” with a terrific athletic play in practice Wednesday. Dropping into coverage, Ryan skied to bat away a Brett Hundley pass that was headed for a seemingly wide open Myles White." [URL]http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=40&post_id=54841[/URL] I'm the last guy to make more out of one practice snap than what's there, but this is one minor confirmation of my original take on this player: he has potential to displace Barrington as the 3-down ILB....perhaps not immediately but not too far down the line.
