I'm more of the "Oh for Crissakes" camp. Can this team not catch a break? Last year was a clusterf**k of injuries - and now Neal & Zombo for significant parts of the season, and Collins for the year?
Ridiculous.

this is a big one. the drop off last year from burnett to peprah was next to nothing. the drop of from collins to peprah is massive. peprah is good and all, but collins is elite.
and now who'd behind peprah and burnett? bush?
it might be time for that charles woodson move to safety
this sucks
and it really sucks that it could be career ending
Right now M.D. Jennings is the 3rd safety, although I suspect Bush starts taking more Safety reps in practice. I wonder if they give Brandon Underwood a call.

Big drop-off for sure...but I do have some confidence in Peprah. How many other teams would have someone that well prepared to step in? Most importantly, I'm glad the injury wasn't worse--I know Collins was able to wave being rolled off the field, but I always think the worst when I see the heavy precautions being taken, even though I know they are routine.
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

This...esp the bolded part. If there ever was a time, now is it. Williams and Shields can lock down the corner spots.
You move Woodson to Safety and you're looking at Bush/Lee as your nickel all year. I'd rather go with Peprah and Burnett right now so Woodson can play the slot where he's most dangerous.

I would think that one has to assume, even in the most passive language possible, that his career is over and a recovery is the longer shot, especially given how the injury occurred - that it wasn't a shock type impact.
Peprah has plenty of experience, and while the defense may suffer to a small degree, it's not like Collins was playing that well. Also, my main brotha: Jennings, MD is in the house. It'll be interesting to see how they fill that roster opening though. Hard to imagine with the amount of youth already there that they would rely on bringing a guy like Levine back instead of someone with some kind of experience... like... Atari Bigby for instance.

Just in your base. You can bring Pep in to play safety in nickel and let Woodson do what Woodson does in nickel.
