He was telling us last night that he has a 5 month old son. I didn't know that.

he is the best DB to play in GB since the 60's. I think he's better than Leroy Butler.

Being one of the PackerRats "Old Farts" who watched the Packers during the glory years of the 60's, I would have to agree with Harlan that Woodson is the best DB of the Packers since the 60's.

The cornerbacks during the Lombardi years were Herb Adderley and Bob Jeter. IMO, they were the best pair of cornerbacks to play together on any pro team I have ever seen.

Adderley is in a class by himself. He is the best cornerback ever to play for the Packers.

I do, however, regard Charles Woodson so highly that I think his outstanding cornerback skills are on an equal plane as Bob Jeter's. Jeter was an excellent cover guy, he was a sure tackler, and had a great overall feel for the game. Woodson's skills match his, IMO.

CHUCK!

Did they get flagged last year for excessive celebration/poor sportsmanship last year for something as classy as shaking the hand of your teammate?

Being one of the old flatulates myself, I agree. However, I can't not mention Willie Buchanon if we are mentioning great Packer CBs since the 1060s. He began phenomenally well, named Defensive Rookie of the Year. After a couple seasons, teams simply avoided him. Regular All-Pro and Pro Bowl candidate or member. He suffered two broken legs, and seemed to lose a little after each one.

Another of the really good players from the 1970s who is often overlooked because the teams he played for were so bad (not unlike Woodson with Oakland, who also had a broken leg) I think I would take Buchanon ahead of Jeter, simply because he was so good in spite of little talent around him.

I'm in trouble now. My fellow Highlanders will be angry that I let it slip!
Ah, phutbul in the colosseums of the ancient world! A far more exciting event than the rather timid current day football in high tech coliseums.

Now we know that the Battle of Hastings (1066 for you young-uns) was really the forerunner to "phutbul".

What DB is better in the NFL right now? Really! Not only is a great cover CB in man or zone, but he plays the run and rushes the passer well. And he creates turnovers like Doyle creates taxes!

I'm sorry I love Woodson and agree with everything in this thread, but as for who's better, "Scrabble".

Sorry, I guess I'm either getting old or just plain stupid. What or who is "scrabble."

Urbandictionary.com gave me the following:

Scrabble
1. A very fun game that uses made up words.
2. Any kind of sexual intercourse

I don't think either of those are right?

A player's nickname perhaps? Help a brotha out!

"Scrabble" is Nnamdi Asomugha's nickname. He's the consensus "best corner in the NFL."

I wouldn't take anyone over Woodson right now, though.

Here's an article just posted on Woodson. He said he's never been more excited about a season and believes the Pack can win it all.

From http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/...er/index.shtml
Charles Woodson said he’s never been more excited entering a season, and the sky is the limit for the 2009 Packers.

"We’ve got a chance at winning the whole thing, I believe," said Woodson after the Packers’ jog-through practice Sunday. "Still got a long way to go. We’re not there yet, but we have a chance."

When asked if other players share his sentiments, Woodson said: "I don’t know, it doesn't matter. That's my answer and I'll ride with it."

So why is Woodson so enthusiastic? It starts with the new 3-4 scheme. The way Woodson sees it, bringing in defensive coordinator Dom Capers and a new staff was like adding an impact free agent.

"I think bringing him in, bringing the scheme, the 3-4, and then those coaches, is definitely the biggest acquisition this year," said Woodson, who forced three fumbles against Arizona in the Packers’ preseason game Friday night.

The difference between last year and this year is like night and day.

"You guys watched our defense last year, it was basically, there was no creativity to it," said Woodson. "This defense, there's so many different packages, so many different ways you can attack an offense. You can keep an offense on their heels, as long as everybody knows what they're doing, their assignments. It’s tough for teams to pick that up. There’s a lot to this defense. I think we’ve handled the transition pretty well."

If it were up to Woodson, the season would start right now.

"With Dom coming in, this new scheme, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited, or more ready to get the season underway than this year," he said.

And, to top it off, he makes wine. Do we have any sommelier rats? Is this stuff any good?
