I'd like the Packer to sign a veteran free agent to help in this dept. rather than continuing to plug in rookies that haven't panned out yet - especially when you consider Worthy is likely out for the year. With that being said, ranking 4th in sacks is encouraging considering Claymaker was out several weeks, Perry was out for most of the season, Bishop was out all season, and Woodson (our best blitzing secondary player) was out for half the season. In addition, we only let two RB's all season rush for 100+ - Gore and AP both did it twice. That means, S. Jax, Lynch, Foster, CJ2k, and Forte were held in check. That's also encouraging. And I've always maintained that we have the best 1-4 CB depth in the league. We all know Tramon isn't the shut-down corner we thought he'd become after the 2010 season. But, he's also a pretty good option there. Shields and Hayward shined last season. And House showed a lot of potential and really just needs the seasoning. It's far from a finished product. But, there's the making of a pretty good defense there.</blockquote>
