And while you read it, keep in mind Bulaga is on the verge of being - or playing like - a pro bowl RT. At least he is IMO. According to other stories I've read: Perry has slimmed down some - to about 265 and he has spent a lot of time getting coached by Greene (of course) on the field. Clay has also been quoted saying he is willing to mentor Perry and a lot of vets have told Perry the team can't afford for him to be a "rookie" - they need him to make a contribution this season. He seems very willing to take on the challenge of the position change in front of him.  As we've seen and mentioned, recent NFL history has clearly displayed how important it is for a team to be playing its best football at the end of the season and throughout the playoffs. That plays to the Packers' advantage with their influx of youth on defense. So not only for Perry but for all the newcomers it will be much more important how they're playing toward the end of the season than at the beginning. And if Perry stays healthy and plays a lot, by December he'll still technically be a rookie but he'll have gained a world of valuable experience. </blockquote>
