Injuries on Defense w/Greer & Butler comments

STORY
the defensive turnaround is all the more amazing when you consider-
Victor Butler- signed for OLB pass rush, never saw a down, will return to team with Juneyah's 12 sacks
Kenyon Coleman- done in preseason, questionable if he would be back
PRob- IRed in Spetember, final year of rookie contract in 2014
Bunkley was inactive from injury the first 5 weeks
Glenn Foster- showed some real spark when he was healthy, on the injury report 8 weeks
Walker- on the injury report every week until December
Greer- out the last 8 weeks (and it showed), we'll see for next year
Hicks- didn't miss games but was on the injury report 7 weeks
Tom Johnson- invisible the first half of the season from injuries
Cameron Jordan- even made the injury report 5 weeks
Will Smith- likely finished his time here IRed- maybe a blessing in disguise. The living example of the dangers of rolling contract/cap numbers forward.
Vilma- don't think there was much expectation but his nothingness still took almost $4mil of cap
“Although God's timetable may be a little different than mine, I hope to be ready by camp,” Greer said. “The (physical therapy) staff has been really challenging and encouraging me, and I try to compete in the training room with guys like Pat, A.J. Davis and Joe Morgan.”
“I’m foaming at the mouth,” Butler said. “I’ve taken a couple of DVDs home with me – I say a couple – 15 just to watch film from this and watch the guys so next year when I get back, it’s like I never missed a beat. I want to play football and I want to play with this group.”
He added, “If I didn’t have bills and stuff to pay, I’d probably do it for free. But you gotta take care of momma and you got to take care of the light bill and the last I checked, the car note isn’t free so you’ve got to get paid. But I love playing the game of football and it’s even better when you’ve got a group of guys like this around you.”
dayum! that makes me have to post the beastly pic again

I really can't wait for butler to play.
Dude was legit in limited snaps in Dallas.

this is all assuming that ingram doesnt take out half the defense during camp

It's amazing that our defense could easily get better next season with all those guys returning (except Greer most likely). I hate to say it but if we have similar numbers next year we may see Ryan as a head coach, long hair and everything.

Add the timing of the Vaccaro injury and you start to think either the defense was cursed or ridiculously unlucky.

That Greer injury was the most significant. When we lost him teams had a much easier time throwing. It was immediately evident. Butler had potential to be a Lewis type pickup.
