I think Fackrell's days are numbered, especially once Biegel comes off the PUP

that was fairly clear in his college tape (and why I thought the Packers wouldn't take him) as he had almost no power and was used in coverage more than pass rushing. His strength was his length and short area quickness with some straight line speed (due to his leg length). But he needs to both gain muscle and learn how to use it.
But he surprised me with his two early sacks last year (against
Lions and
Giants ) and I was starting to eat my words when he got injured and then disappeared. You can watch the play it you click the team name link.
But lots of players struggle their first couple of years in, and Fackrell has a CLEAR weakness in his game (his lack or power/strength), it's gonna take him a while to build that up (assuming everything goes right... if it goes wrong, then it might not happen). But again, lots of players take more than two training camps to become very good players.
Aaron Rodgers sucked until his 3rd training camp I believe.
Jordy Nelson sucked his first 2.5 years and then caught on fire.
Took Nick Perry until year #5 to breakout.
How many years before Lang broke out again?
Driver too?
Lots of Packers players took more than 2 years to break out....

All the other stuff, like not being being physical, not being powerful... that's on him... but assignment is your job... and if you need to adjust it for certain players then do it.
