    sucks. we've had some good safeties to watch over the yrs w/ Butler, Sharper, and Collins.


    I don't care what they say now, the only logical thing to do is move Woodson there and hope a nickle CB develops.

    Thanks for playing your ass off Nick

      I am not sure I would put Sharper in the same category as Butler and Collins.

      Sharper had one great year and that was his contract year. Other than that I thought that he was a good ballhawk, average at most everything else and 1 step slow in coverage.
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

        Just as a fan looking to be entertained, I am relieved that Nick Collins was released. Maybe I'm a nervous Nellie, but I don't want to watch a player who has an iffy neck making tackles. I wouldn't have wanted to see Sterling Sharpe return to GB, even though he came close to making NFL comeback.

        It does suck to lose such a good player, and the damage is even worse than a failed first rounder, 'cause Nick Collins has proven himself to be elite.

        But heck, we weathered the loss of Atari Bigby, we can get through anything.

          Sharper a step slow in coverage? Not in Green Bay, anyway. He took some bad tackling angles early in his career, but guy developed into all-pro caliber.

            Well, he was a step slow on that touchdown pass Steve Young threw in the NFC playoffs back in the day...

            As for replacing Collins, I wonder if the good words about Medical Doctor (MD) Jennings might suggest he could play a role as a safety this year. Supposedly the guy was as raw as a freshly whipped ass, but had a nose for the ball and was tough.

              Maybe, how about Davon House stepping up to fill the gap made by Woodson's move to safety?

                Hey, if Woodson's good with moving and that's the best place to utilize his skills, then I'm good with it.

                I do wonder about House. He seems to me to have been the perfect developmental project. I wonder if we're overlooking him a little.

                  I think House is a good dark horse pick to make some noise next year. Bush is about topped out on the development curve and Shields did not show improvement last year. If Woodson plays less true CB, someone needs to fill the void.

                    Uhh.. Sharper's #2 on the all time list for intereceptions for safeties and #6 overall. He's a HOFer.

                    I get where you're coming from though. When we got him, he was a CB and we were the ones who had to figure out how to get him to play awesome at safety.
                    - Once again, adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.

                      Sharper as HOF material is the subject of much debate. He's got the picks, but as a tackler he was below average and that's being kind. That's one of the big knocks on him and it's in the forefront of voters minds from what I've seen in the past. For him it seemed if it wasn't an INT or a big hit while the WR wasn't looking he didn't seem very interested.
                      All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

                        I know. That is why I stated he was a good ballhawk. Maybe I should have said great.

                        I stand by the rest. No HOF in my book.

                          the fact that Sharper was good enough to be up for debate as a HOF player supports my original post. We've had a pretty good run at safety.

                            And let's hope that TT hits again. Burnett and Peprah won't cut it. Even if Burnett becomes as good as advertised.
                            No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
