http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1222 Recent articles about Nick Barnett en-us The first question that comes to mind is, " Will these injuries have the same devastating effect on the Packers defense as Nick Barnett's and Cullen Jenkins' injuries did last season? With the improvement this year in personnel and scheme, I wouldn't expect that drastic a drop-off.

Barnett sustained the season-ending knee injury last season in Week 10 at Minnesota, and was sidelined for most of the preseason as well. He made his return in the preseason finale at Tennessee, but saw his time at Mack line...

The first and most obvious challenge is their run game. With two very talented running backs and a very feisty and physical line, we will have to be ready to exceed the intensity, which should not be a problem. I feel that we are up to the challenge and we are ready for a dog fight!! Early in the year we haven't been very stout in the run game and we are looking for a chance against a team of this caliber to get back on pace. It won't be a cake walk, but that's why we practice the way we do. We do the extra things to be prepared.
