Sophomore slump

His Qb has to step it up. He wasn’t so outstanding that he strikes feat in a corner. I think Harvin is a bigtime playmaker and could become one of the best WR in the NFL in time. Louis should be better with the new D line but with the way the predator plays I am more worried about a bob sanders type injury than a slump. I think Clay will be ok without Kampman he was hurt last year and Clay did fine without him. It may not be a fair judgment but all of the Matthews have been more than good players I think his sophmore season will be improved which is a scary thought.

I didn’t think he was all that last year.

between Clay and Knox. A reciever is more likely to have ups and downs with a younger QB throwing to him. And take in account the there is a new offense in place.

But Clay will be missing some help. And he is no longer a unknown. But I guess in the end I think it will be Knox.

What does the opposite side OLB have to do with Matthews? Maybe Jolly being out indefinitely will play a part in him having less of an impact but Kampman wouldn’t have all that much to do with it especially with GB thinking they have a good replacement. And why did you put forced in parentheses? Grammatically that would mean you’re implying it wasn’t forced.

I voted Knox, though he could up his game with the new system and Chicago lacking a lot of real talent at WR.

Mostly because the Packers secondary is 1 year older and I can’t see Woodson having the same kind of year he had last year, I just don’t with the loss of Jolly ol’ nick it is 1 less guy in the rotation up front for the Pack. Now with Delmas I agree with what all of you already put up top, a better line and what should be a better set of corners(better than last year) I can’t see why he can’t put up #‘s similar to last year if not better because I’m not sold on our LB’s yet to young and inXperienced, so I actually see his #‘s going up pending injuries. With Percy his hole season rests on Favre’s return and staying healthy enough to play a whole year. And even if I can’t stand him the guy has proved decade after decade that he just doesn’t miss games, So I can’t see it being Harvin, actually see his #‘s being 3rd best in the division this year, behind Megatron/Greg Jennings in no particular order.Now Knox is a wild card here, cause he really didn’t put up any WR #‘s so it will be hard for him to take a step backwards, especially with Martz’s system. The one problem I have with Knox is he does not have an NFL body for a WR, he is kind of small when you see him on the field and he had Hammie issues last year, and I’d expect him to have the same if they keep running him on GO routes to try and free up the middle of the field for Hester, which I think Martz will try and do. If I had to actually pick a guy primed for a soph slump, it would be Staff because alot of QB’s have them in the NFL as we have stated a few times on here it’s the 3rd year that QB’s and WR’s usually explode on to the scene. But since he wasn’t on the list I chose Mathews.

Martz will have that poor kid so confused.

He really outstripped expectations last year, and living up to the big numbers he produced won’t be easy. Even a small reduction in sacks, such as 6, will be seen as a disappointment. Plus, teams will have a better chance of honing in on Matthews now that he’s made himself known as a key defender.
