Green Bay — So you thought Clay Matthews lining up at inside linebacker was a 2014 fad, a gimmick, a Band-Aid solution. Surely, the Green Bay Packers would draft someone new to mold at the position and he'd move back outside full time.
Wrong.
The Packers are very serious about using Matthews inside again this season. Drawing grandiose conclusions from the first week of organized team activities is akin to buying a wedding ring after one date at Starbucks, but the scene Thursday is further proof the Packers plan on using Matthews everywhere again.
Thrown into the middle during Game 9 last season — where he then played 28.
