Jolly To Be Reinstated By NFL

Defensive end Johnny Jolly has been out of football for over three years

Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly has been out of football for over three years

Johnny Jolly will be be reinstated from suspension as of Monday, according to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello. The 30-year-old defensive lineman last played for the Green Bay Packers in 2009.

Whether the Packers have any interest in retaining Jolly remains to be seen. While he enjoyed a very productive season in ’09 – the first under defensive coordinator Dom Capers – that was a long time ago. And extended layoffs tend to be even more difficult for big men. The only near certainty is that general manager Ted Thompson won’t honor Jolly’s $2.5 million contract, which has been tolled. He’ll either restructure the deal or cut the former Texas A&M star before the start of the new league year on Mar. 12.

Jolly is, or was, the type of end this defense really needs. He had the size and the strength to stuff the run, and while he wasn’t much of a pass rusher, he used his athleticism and his impeccable timing to make life difficult for quarterbacks. Green Bay batted down 14 passes in 2012. Jolly batted down 11 in 2009.

The other thing Jolly brought to the D was energy. He played the game with a passion. That sometimes translated into stupid penalties, but more often than not, it served to fire up his teammates. And let’s face it, this current group exhibits about as much passion as that iconic teacher from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

I’ve always been a big Jolly fan, so I’d like to see him get another chance with the Packers. That said, I couldn’t blame Thompson if he decides to move on. Either way, we should get an answer in the next few weeks.

Packers Come Up Short At End

At 6'4 and 325 pounds, Johnny Jolly looked and played like a 3-4 defensive end

At 6’4 and 325 pounds, Johnny Jolly looked and played like a 3-4 defensive end

Johnny Jolly hasn’t played a game for the Packers since January 2010, but his absence on the D-line is still being felt. That’s because GM Ted Thompson hasn’t drafted or signed a legitimate 3-4 end in the past three offseasons. To be fair, he did draft Lawrence Guy in 2011 and he did sign Phillip Merling as a free agent last spring, but both players were long shots to stick on the 53-man roster, and ultimately neither did.

The average starting 3-4 defensive end in 2011 stood 6’3 1/4 and weighed 319 pounds. I’m familiar with the numbers because I wrote about this very subject back then (for some reason, it took most of the local media another two years to even address the issue). The current ends on the Packers average 6’2 and 304.

An end in a 3-4 defense has two main responsibilities – stuff the run and disrupt passing lanes. That’s what Aaron Smith did for a dozen years in Pittsburgh; it’s what Haloti Ngata has done for seven years in Baltimore; it’s what Jolly did in Green Bay in ’09; and it’s what none of the current ends are capable of doing.

B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett have the bulk to stop the run, but neither has the length nor the leaping ability to disrupt passing lanes. Mike Neal has the length and the athleticism needed to bat down the occasional pass, but he can’t hold up versus the run. Jerel Worthy and Mike Daniels are ill-equipped to do either.

The closest thing the current defense has to a legitimate 3-4 end is C.J. Wilson, who stands 6’3 and weighs about 300 pounds. But even he’s a bit undersized, and to be perfectly honest, he’s not very talented.

The current roster is filled with defensive linemen built to play in a 4-3, but forced to line up in a 3-4. It isn’t working. It’s time for Thompson to finally address the problem. Jolly isn’t walking through the door. And you want to know what’s really sad? If he did, he’d immediately be the best defensive end on the team.

Jolly Decision Should Come Soon

It’s been nearly three weeks since Johnny Jolly applied for reinstatement, and if Commissioner Roger Goodell decides to allow the veteran defensive lineman back into the league, an announcement is likely to be made before the end of the month.

Based on what’s happened in the past, if there’s no news by the start of training camp, the odds are that Jolly won’t be reinstated for the 2012 season. Both Adam “Pacman” Jones and Mike Vick were reinstated prior to the start of training camp. That only seems fair when dealing with a player who hasn’t been on the field for a lengthy period of time. Jolly will need a full summer to get back into anything resembling football shape. Reinstating him any later would all but guarantee a third consecutive season out of the NFL for the former Texas A&M star.

If Jolly is allowed back into the league, there’s a pretty good chance his reinstatement will be on a conditional basis at first. Like Jones and Vick, he’ll have to prove to Goodell that he’s a changed man. If he does, he’ll be granted full reinstatement. That could come before the start of the season or after Jolly serves a suspension. Vick, who also spent time in jail, sat out two games in 2009.

Jolly Applies For Reinstatement

Veteran defensive lineman hasn't played since '09 season

Veteran defensive lineman hasn’t played since 2009

According to the National Football Post, Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly has applied for reinstatement to the National Football League. The 29-year-old has been on indefinite suspension since July 2010. He was recently released from prison just six months into a six-year sentence for violating the terms of his probation for a drug conviction.

If reinstated by Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jolly would like to return to the Packers. “I am dedicated to really make a change in my life and come back and be a positive role model,” he said. “I think I have a great shot at going back to those guys. They’re a great organization. The coaches are very good, the players are good. I know they have supported me 100 percent. I want to say that would be a dream come true, but I made it in the NFL before. So, I would say it would be like another dream. It would be a journey and going back to do the things I love and showing everybody you can make mistakes but it’s the way you correct the things you’ve done wrong. I want to make the Packers look good if they want to take me back or not.”

Prior to his off-the-field problems, Jolly was developing into a premier 3-4 end. The former Texas A&M star was a big reason the Packers were the No. 1 run defense in the league in 2009. Blessed with great size (6’3, 325) and strength, Jolly was rarely knocked off his spot that season. And while he managed only one sack, he was athletic and alert enough to bat down a franchise-record 11 passes at the line of scrimmage. He also played the game with unbridled energy – an often overlooked trait that was glaringly missing from last season’s zombie-like defensive unit.

Assuming Jolly is clean and sober, it’s hard to imagine Goodell not allowing him back into the league. After all, plenty of currently active players have done far worse things. Philadelphia’s Michael Vick killed and tortured dogs. New England’s Donte’ Stallworth killed an innocent pedestrian while driving drunk. Chicago’s Brandon Marshall has been arrested multiple times on suspicion of domestic violence. Baltimore’s Ray Lewis, one of the faces of the NFL, was sentenced to probation for obstructing justice in the stabbing deaths of two men. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s likely that general manager Ted Thompson will have a decision to make in the near future. Jolly signed a one-year deal worth $2.5 million on June 15, 2010, so the Packers still own his rights. But would Thompson want him back? That’s hard to predict, but the guess here is no. And it has nothing to do with morality. Thompson has given second chances to a number of other players in the past. A good example is wide receiver Koren Robinson, who was welcomed back in October 2007 after completing a one-year suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

But Jolly’s situation is different. He hasn’t played a down of football since January 2010. Even worse, he hasn’t worked out with the Packers since that time. The odds of him being in anything resembling football shape are about the same as the odds of Sean Payton and Gregg Williams vacationing with Goodell this summer. In fact, Jolly has already admitted to being overweight. “I’m in pretty good shape,” Jolly told the National Football Post’s Brad Biggs. “I would like to lose about 10 pounds. I’m probably at 332 right now, about 7 pounds over my playing weight.”

Look, I have no idea how much Jolly weighs, but if he admits to 332, I’m guessing the actual number is a bit higher. I just don’t think he’ll be ready to play football in September – at least not this September. I hope I’m wrong. I’ve been one of Jolly’s biggest supporters for years and the state of the current defensive line – even with the influx of new talent – still concerns me. The Jolly of 2009 would make the Packers defense, or any defense for that matter, a lot better. But that player no longer exists. Here’s hoping neither does that self-destructive human being.
