[QUOTE="TJV, post: 566188, member: 4300"] The reason Raji was drafted where he was is because he was a 330+ pound man with exceptional quickness. IMO this injury hurts for two reasons: First because there was a decent chance Raji would finally be motivated to use his size and quickness to cause havoc in the middle of the DL. Second because every injury to a starter strains depth. Everyone on the depth chart steps up a notch. Regarding Raji’s contract: This is a quote from McGinn’s story last November about Raji’s contract offer: [url]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/contractual-ball-in-rajis-court-after-pack-offers-him-long-term-deal-b99143128z1-232226061.html[/url] I agree accepting that offer was a no brainer and Raji, through his agent made a serious miscalculation. Why? Because every team in the league can watch every snap Raji has played in the league. Every team could see how Raji’s effectiveness and IMO effort declined after the 2010 season. He can make the excuse he was playing DE instead of NT but he was also so ineffective rushing the passer from DT in the 2-man DL he lost his spot in the sub packages. Obviously if that’s the Raji that would have been playing this season, his injury doesn’t hurt but he was reportedly having a good TC. [/QUOTE]
