[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 498091, member: 5535"] IMO the one player who would make the most difference is Nick Perry. I take it he's going to be healthy and his wrist won't be a problem...I think it's a reasonable hope. He needs to flat-out take over the other OLB role and be a legit pass rusher and edge-setter. If he can show the needed improvement, that would make a tremendous difference to this defense. With Clay on one side and Perry and Datone on the other the Packers' pass rushing could take a big step forward. I have high hopes for Datone. He may or may not be ready to be the starter, but I think he'll be an impact player. We can't fix all the problems on defense this year. Our middle does look weak. Our safety situation looks the same although McMillan could change that. He did show some flashes last year and he's a hitter. But if other teams have to start fearing our pass rush and not just CMIII, that's a big step forward. There may be a dark horse on the roster who unexpectedly makes a big contribution, but that's something I don't think anyone outside of the coaching staff can anticipate. I'm still intrigued by Terrell Manning because the intestinal illness that hit him last year just as training camp began limited his potential to develop severely. I'd also like to see Mike Neal have another injury-free season in which he continues to improve. As for Jerel Worthy, well, I just hope he recovers from the ACL. [/QUOTE]
