Packers Blog Roundup: Mike Neal Comparisons to Justin Harrell

With his third different injury since joining the Packers, Mike Neal has elicited comparisons to another former Packers defensive lineman, Justin Harrell.

The injury to defensive lineman Mike Neal is given some perspective by Kris Burke of AllGreenBayPackers.com. "Neal is toeing the line on being labeled 'injury prone,'" writes Burke. "I’m not ready to call him 'Justin Harrell with potential' just yet, but he has to stay healthy if he hopes to make any kind of impact in the league.    As for the hindsight review of letting Jenkins walk, with his past injuries, I’m not sure it would have been much of an improvement.  When healthy, Jenkins was one of the best in the NFL, but that wasn’t on a very consistent basis."

Copies of letters written on behalf of Jerry Kramer for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame are posted by Bob Fox at Packer Chatters."This group of letters come from some VERY big voices," writes Fox. "From Pro Football Hall of Fame voices who were players, one of whom was a teammate of Kramer’s.  Also from a couple of voices that were legendary writers.  Two guys that knew the NFL and it’s storied history.  There is another letter from one of Jerry’s fiercest opponents."

Charles Woodson's recent $10,000 fine is rationalized by Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. "Contrary to some of the chatter I've already seen on Twitter, however, this wasn't a case of favoritism toward a respected player or a Super Bowl champion," writes Seifert. "Quite frankly, an NFL player is better off punching someone after the whistle than he is making contact with him anywhere near the head during the course of a play. If Woodson had drilled Thomas under the chin as he lunged for a pass, you can bet the NFL would have fined Woodson a lot more than $10,000. That's where the league's discipline focus lies right now."

A local radio interview with linebacker Clay Matthews in Los Angeles is transcribed by SportsRadioInterviews.com, where Matthews talks about the Carolina Panthers. "They invested a lot of money in a bunch of key playmakers and brought in some new additions," said Matthews. "They have a powerful team and they were close to winning that last game against Arizona. You look at their tight ends, receivers, obviously what Cam (Newton) was able to do, their running backs, and their defense. They’re a good squad and they are on the ups. It’s not a team we can take lightly."

The Packers running backs are called a six-legged monster by Chad Toporski of AllGreenBayPackers.com.

For the life of me i cannot understand how Kramer is not in the hall. Those letters were great and tell me I'm not the only one.
