It makes me laugh. GB could be in trouble and they could be just fine without Ryan. We don't know so let's write an article about it anyway.

Part 2

Plenty of internal options to replace Jake Ryan

The injury bug has already hit the Green Bay Packers are we are only 4 days into training camp. GM Brian Gutekunst and Head Coach Mike McCarthy already have this task of possibly replacing Inside Linebacker Jake Ryan who started 12 games last season.

The speculation is that Jake Ryan will be lost for the season, but as of this writing, that has not been confirmed yet. The team does fear that Jake Ryan suffered a season ending injury on during Monday’s practice. Gutekunst and McCarthy have options to replace Jake Ryan. I would not expect Gutekunst to rush to the free agent market and bring someone in right away.

That first article - I read it this morning - made me laugh out loud. Obviously not a professional publication.

I don't like the options to replace Ryan, either the Packers play more single ILB coverages which makes them weak against the run or they play an undersized LB like Greer Martini or Burks.

Maybe they pick up someone later who's cut but ideally you'd want a 250 pound thumper for base.

These other LBs aren't even being given a chance to show what they can do. Why? Let's see what they got.

That’s true! They have a real opportunity now, to show what they have got! Time for someone to step up and grab the position!

I'm happy to see what they can do but they're not going to magically add 20 pounds of muscle. I think of all the ILB mentioned none of them are above 230, great for chasing down players in the passing game not so nice against the run.

PFF ranked Ryan the sixth-best inside linebacker when it comes to run stop percentage in 2016, and I don't think he was that much worse in 2017. The Packers will miss him on running downs.

The D-line could step up and start making more plays and thus not requiring so much run support from the LBs.

Having Jake Ryan would sure be helpful, but his strength has been against the run where the Packers have been better, it's coverage where the Packers really need to improve and Ryan didn't help that much in that department. Though I had some hope for his potential in blitzing more often, there are other ways Pettine has shown he can create that as well.

I'm guessing between Burks, Matthews, Fackrell and Martini they can be alright without Ryan (assuming others can stay healthy).
