Coming into the season, my memory tells me that these were the major concerns among Packers fans (in no particular order):
- Safety depth
- Starting cornerback / depth
- Inside linebacker
- Nose tackle
- Special teams
At this point in the season, we seem to have the following:
- Good depth at safety, especially once Burnett comes back
- Two great young cornerbacks from our first two draft picks plus a surprise in Gunter
- Despite losing Barrington our depth has been good with Palmer and Thomas
- Raji was playing great through injury and we got Guion back just in time
- Special teams haven't been special but save for two bad plays against St. Louis have been good enough
What wasn't anticipated to be problems were:
- WR depth
- Offensive line
It seems that as usual there was a lot of off-season hang wringing about things that quickly changed once the season got under way.
