The Clay Maker, week 7

The Clay Maker, week 5
 |
| Clay had 1.5 sacks in a loss against Washington... he actually had like 5, but one was ruled an aborted play and a couple others were called back on penalties. Clay re-aggravated his hamstring in the third quarter, his status is questionable next week against Miami, but don't expect him or half the team to play. |

Ugly and Uglier (with a few bright spots)
The ugliest win of the season, in which the special teams fumbled twice, Rodgers gave away two interceptions, and the defense gave up 300+ yards TO THE LIONS, came with some even uglier news; Morgan Burnett is done for the season.
Packers.com reports that Burnett suffered a torn ACL sometime in the second quarter, and continued to play up to ten snaps before he came out of the game. What does this mean for Green Bay, who was already starting a rookie along side Nick Collins at safety? Well, it basically means we're screwed. It means that we're going to start an already injured Charlie Peprah, beacuse Dom Capers doesn't trust David Martin, and I don't think anyone else does either. Atari Bigby is eligible to start practice after the week 6 game against Miami, so thats a good sign, but who says he's going to be ready? Either way I'd take an injured Bigby over a healthy anyone else on our roster, besides Burnett, any day, especially against division rival Minnesota.
The only trouble is, we have to face Donovan McNabb in Washington and the wildcat offense against Miami before we get Bigby and Harris back. I'd rather not be 3-3 going into the Minnesota game, and I dont think the Packers want to be either, so it's time to get on the market. Teddy T has to let go of his pride and not wait for next years draft to pick up a running back and safety. In fact, he should dip into next years draft and give up a couple picks to nab Marshawn Lynch and search for a safety somewhere out there.
Some game highlights form week 4:
-Aaron Rodgers was on fire in the first half, throwing three beautiful touchdowns, most notably his second to Jermichael Finley on third and goal. He had to place it perfectly, in the smallest of windows, and nailed it. He also said in a press conference that covering Jermichael Finley is a relative term. Awesome.
- In Detroit's first possession of the second half, Charles Woodson picked off Shaun Hill and took it to the house for a pick-6. After that he finally woke up and played like the animal he should be.
- Speaking of animals, Clay Mathews finally got his 7th sack of the year, hopefully he racks up a few more on the aging Donovan McNabb.
- John Kuhn came alive and helped the Pack eat up the final 6 minutes to close out the game. It seemed as though our running game finally resurrected on that drive, and on 3rd and 7, Kuhn gained 8 yards to allow Rodgers to take a knee on the next play and close out the game.
SIDE NOTE:
ESPN just reported about an hour ago that Clinton Portis will not play this week against the Packers. No Portis, no problem.
