[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 144747, member: 195"] I've been assuming all along that safety is a bigger need for the Packers than cornerback, but Pete Dougherty makes a pretty good point in this exchange with a Packer fan in his Monday chat on packersnews.com: Packer fan: Do you think cornerback or safety is an area of greater need? I keep hearing safety, but you only typically play two safeties in a game and It seems like Underwood and Culver are good young options. On the other hand, you typically play 3-4 cornerbacks in a game and Blackmon is the only young guy with big-time potential on the team (and he's got a ways to go anyway). Your thoughts on this? PETE DOUGHERTY: Close call, but I'd probably agree with you and go corner. They're harder to find, and you need so many of them in today's football because of all the nickel and dime defense played -- usually about half the snaps in the game, so the third corner is playing half a game. And with Woodson and Harris both long in the tooth, the Packers will need to replace them in a year or two. [/QUOTE]
