This is a pleasant surprise - even in the "good days" in Houston, Mercilius was a liability. 

Makes the loss moreso bad, IMO. Mercilius having a resurgence in GB is what that guy deserved.

I don't recall him playing any coverage for us.  And he was hella slow in pursuit.  But he was very good at holding the point, and was creating a lot of pressure, his stats with us don't show what he did.  I think we will miss him the rest of the season, if we don't get Za'Darius Smith back, and I am not holding my breath on that one.

Might not mean much for Green Bay, but sad to see Whitney go down like this. His talent has vanished and he really didn't do much outside of being a liability in coverage, pass rushing and against the run - but he was a really good guy off the field.

Oh well, good luck to him whatever he does next.

He was actually solid in a limited role.  Not sure there is a starting pass rusher, but he was a solid EDGE #3 for Green Bay.
