Nick Perry News???

[13 Times Champs]

Not sure what to think...JS Online said he looked uncomfortable in coverage and tackling in the open field...I think if he doesn't feel that natural/innate comfort level right away it likely will take some time until he does...if he ever does.

I think he will be a more traditional rookie prospect this year, but it has only been a week. Perhaps he will improve quickly as camp progresses, and into the preseason.

I'm sorta with you. I wasn't doing back flips when Thompson selected him. I hope he makes my prediction of 6-7 sacks pay off(I may have to revisit that) . We need production from him. Learn quickly and learn well Nick.

What improvements do you think the Packers have made to their defense this year compared to last year?

. We had a defining moment at practice last night. In a one-on-one drill between Perry and Bryan Bulaga

, Perry put Bulaga on his back, and that wasn’t a rookie undrafted free agent Perry was working against, that’s one of the best young tackles in the game. Bulaga was reacting to Perry’s speed when, all of a sudden, Perry turned to power. That’s the skill set that should make Perry a star rusher. Tackles can overplay to the speed of a speed rusher, or to the power of a bull rusher, but you don’t dare overplay a guy who’s fast and powerful. It appeared to me that most of the crowd was watching the one-on-one passing drills when Perry engaged Bulaga, because I didn’t detect much of a reaction. What the crowd may have missed is one of the most important moments in this training camp.

I was just gonna post the same thing. Looks like Mr. Perry has it. He's just real busy learning a new position during game drills. Only going to get better.

Nice to see he has it in him...let's hope he can show it more as camp progresses into the pre-season. If there's anything Perry should feel comfortable doing it's pass-rushing...even it's from a 3 point stance.

It's gotta be real good to be practicing against Bulaga every day too.
