USA Today article on Al Harris

[Partial]

The fact that both of our starting corners didn't show up for OTAs is a cause for concern. Training camp will probably tell the tale, but it still is a cause for concern.

Why? I think its probably good for the team if anything. Chuck and Al are about as good as they're ever going to be since they're older. Carroll and Hawkins area not even close to their limit given their physical abilities. They will benefit from the reps much more.

Re: USA Today article on Al Harris

GreenBay Packers cornerback Al Harris, 31: "Just ask any NFL reciever, and they will tell you that Al Harris is the most underrated cornerback in the league." NFL Network analyst Solomon Wilcots says. (He is a) pure technician in bump-'n'-run coverage, which is becoming a lost art. His unusually long arms allow for complete control and devastating jams at the line of scrimmage. Exellent at baiting quarterbacks by disguising his man or zone assignments.

Thanks for posting this, CH, it's nice to see a Packer player get some good press, he deserves it. I'm not going to get into the $$$ or contracts angle, (and I agree, he's paying his agent enough to watch out for him) he is just a fun guy to watch and I hope he's around for more than another year too, Murph. If he has to leave us surely someone else will scoop him up as a veteran backup?

Well, I do disagree with you on Carroll. Experience for backups is good, but I think Carroll's reached his ceiling.

Does anyone know what we have now in the bank?

We have a Rookie Class to sign and how much does TT have remaining, to satisfy Al Harris's needs, even if he was to seriously consider such?

What I think would be really interesting is a little something I like to call the Ahmad Carroll Safety Experiment. Obviously, Carroll has shown repeatedly that he is a tough, physical mofo with a complete lack of ball skills. Sure, he may be a little short for a strong safety, but I could seem him adding even more bulk to his frame, and being an unbelievably good strong safety in the future.

The Packers are high on Horton and Hawkins. Both are like lightning and very good athletes who don't have much football experience. Blackmon looked the part of a solid cornerback in college and if he's healthy in time for the start of camp I could see him as the dime corner beating out Hawkins.

It won't ever happen because of Manual and Roman, but it would be certainly be something interesting to see and something that could potentially be a benefit to the team.
