Tramon Williams

Al was at his peak a couple of years ago, and he's dropped off since. Could be age. Either way, I'm glad he's recovering well because he's still tons better than Blackmon--and that's really who is replacing him. As the nickle, Tramon was on the field a lot already.

Al can still play. Wish TW matched Al's toughness and aggresiveness.

Al can't cover a big, talented #1. He struggles against guys like TO, Plax, etc. He's a great #2. Tramon looks like a great #3. Once we get healthy we'll have quite the back 7.

I still think our coaching staff struggles there because they think Harris can take those guys one on one. There is not a corner in the NFL that can take an Elite WR the whole game without help...The WR only has to win that battle 7 times in a game to have a HUGE game where as the CB more than likely has to cover him for at least 40 passing plays.

I think they are starting to realize having Al lock up on a plax, TO etc isn't the greatest idea because of how physical they are. Which is why you saw Woodson on TO and Al on the other guy to take him out of the game.

I may be wrong, but normally dont teams use their faster/shiftier WR in the slot? Which is covered by the nickle? If so i deff would rather have T. Williams there.....

But could Williams shut down Darren Charles?

Im not following sorry. ??

Agreed. We get a lot better with Al back. I flip flopped. I want him starting for the rest of this year after a one game nickle break in period. Tramon can take the reigns next year.

have you noticed TW's tackling? He's aggressive, and best of all he wraps-up and finishes tackles.

Bottom line, I can't say TW is better than AH, especially since it is the hardest position to judge watching TV. I HOPE TW is just as good or better, because that is good news for the Packers, and my limitted view says TW is already there.

NOBODY covers those guys one on one and wins...other teams don't even try.
