Drafting/Signing a Safety

[Tarlam!]

Back to the future, I like Woodson playing rover in the nickel package. Sure, he's given up some big plays this season, but he plays with a lot of risk/reward attitude. And we've all been painfully aware that he's lost a step, but we are always delighted when he comes up with another pick.

Having him in the locker room is a huge plus for the entire defense, especially the younger DBs, just as having DD is huge for the gooming done for WR/TEs attitudes.

Williams accredts much of his development to Charles Woodson (and Al Harris).

TT needs to work his draft magic for the Saftey spot, IMHO.

I'm going to threadjack since, at the very least, we are on the subject of defensive backs.

A student brought up a trading card of Green Bay Packer defensive back #37 to share with me, and I thought it was Shields. Upon closer inspection the player's name was Tyrone Williams. He was actually a starter across from Doug Evans in 1997.

Why do I have almost no memory of the guy? I could have named every other starter on that team's defense and I would have gotten that position wrong because I would have forgotten that George Teague was already gone.

Was Tyrone unusually bad? good? quiet? It bugs me that I don't remember a four year player from that era.

IIRC, he dropped in the draft as a CB out of Nebraska for discharging a weapon into somebody's car. There was concern after Wolf drafted him that he wasn't "Packer People."

Ha ha...that rang a bell.
