Say what you will, you can't teach speed.Huge positives:- Carroll is no longer targeted by the other team- Carroll wasn't the best of locker room personalities around. I'm sure things are a bit more relaxed and easier with Carroll leaving.- Carroll probably had some extra sessions with the DB coachs, time that is now better spent in by doing something more productive (like actually teaching players that can be coached and actually have half a brain cell to learn new things)The latter 2 are probably things that you can't see the fruits of right away. It takes time, especially since someone like Dendy was being activated from the PS and was asked to play NFL level WRs (#3 quality) right away. Not the easiest of things to do. Also, notice how much Woodson's play has improved since Carroll left.... coincedence? Maybe. Or Maybe not. But it's still improved.So while there may not be significant improvements right away, the Packers are taking baby steps in improving, something which seems wouldn't have been happening if Ahmad was still in GB and playing (we don't need a CB to make things worse for the S's, there bad enough as it is).</blockquote>
