Perry is finally looking comfortable where he is, I think it would be a mistake to move him to another position. And why would anyone think Hubbard is anywhere near ready for PT at ILB? His natural position is OLB and he's on the PS because he's raw.I think the best hope at ILB this season is Barrington if he can improve as he gets added reps. Here's what Capers said about him recently: "Sam has made great strides from Year 1 to Year 2," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "He's worked really hard at being the communicator out there, to make all of his calls. He's much more decisive doing that now than he was a year ago." Even with Hawk on the field, the other ILB is expected to be able to make the calls and it takes some time and experience at the position to be able to do that.<a href="http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-linebacker-sam-barrington-grew-during-visits-to-ghana-b99380243z1-280879232.html" target="_blank">http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-linebacker-sam-barrington-grew-during-visits-to-ghana-b99380243z1-280879232.html</a>Even if Barrington proves worthy of a starting spot, I hope Thompson recognizes ILB as a priority need in the draft and that an ILB candidate worthy of being drafted is available at one of their top picks.</blockquote>
