[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1076685, member: 17953"] On Hobbs? If he isn't going to work out, it's time to consider trading him to someone desperate for a CB and bank a low pick, eating the cap space loss. We need players, not guys eating up cap and not being of any value tot he team. Banks still has some real future value. He's not the quickest "reader" in the group so he needs time to get on the same page as the guys beside him. I've seen a lot of guys come into Green Bay who people decide hasn't got the tools but it's really more about a level of confidence that they need to develop. He needs to be coached up to find what he can do best to help the team. I've never quite understood why so many people don't see Bullard's value to the team. He has been developing quite rapidly to be honest. Think about how long he's been here and the role he's playing. Not everyone is destined for the HOF the day they step onto the field but this kid (23 years old) has been slowly carving out a spot for himself out there in a role that so few players really learn how to play well because it encompasses so darned many variables and puts them in a position where they not only have to take on less weighty wide receivers, but often RBs and TEs who have some bulk. Remember, Javon is about what"? 5-9 or 5-10, and goes at most about 200#. Yet he's making those tackles and still brings under 4.5 speed to the position. For so long I've heard people say that we should look at the INTs, sacks, and tackles a defender makes to determine how good they are. I disagree. I look at the stats, figure out how much time they spend on the field, and look at the number of missed tackles, and stats like 13 showed to determine a guy's value. The gaudy figures don't show a guy that opponents won't throw at, it's those deep dive figures that tells you that the opposition is throwing away from him because they don't like the results when they throw at them.
