[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1064050, member: 17953"] A lot of people ask why the Packers wanted Nate Hobbs. The fact is, Bullard isn't as good at nickel back as a lot of people would like to believe. He misread way too many plays. He was erratic at best. Hobbs isn't exactly fast, but he has a nose for the ball and should be able to add a little more middle protection against the pass. Does this mean Bullard will never be a solid DB? Not at all. He's just not ready because he doesn't understand what he's seeing in front of him and fails to react quick enough to be consistent in coverage. I also believe this will be a breakout year for Evan Williams. He could well step in and fill the safety spot next to McKinney. Since Bullard can also play in that spot, it gives the Packers some flexible depth. What still concerns me is the horses to put pressure on QBs up the middle. I honestly don't see it on this roster. That lack of a pass rush can create some serious problems in the secondary. Defenders can only hang with the better receivers so long on plays. They will end up getting beat if the QB has too much time. When that happens, people need to quit blaming the DB for failing on his job and look to why they failed. That lack of pressure up the gut. As far as dependability against the running games, we're really not good enough to get the ball back in the hands of the offense as well as we should be.
