[QUOTE="dogpackerz, post: 304378, member: 2354"] no i'm not perfect but watching all the great NFL teams...and how they handle specific needs and wants.. were the worst in adding anything that take us 2 the next stage take away ted thompsons 1st free agent class..aka. WOODSON AND PICKETT hasnt brought anything in here....i will give him props with the trade for GRANT here is quoted excerpt out of MJS: According to sources, defensive coordinator [B]Dom Capers[/B] and [B]Perry[/B] wanted to keep [COLOR=red][B]Smith[/B][/COLOR] because he knew the defensive system from his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But [B][U]Thompson[/U][/B] kept [B]Aaron Rouse[/B], a third-round pick in 2007, instead. Rouse was [I][U][COLOR=blue][B]waived by the Packers about two weeks later[/B][/COLOR][/U][/I]. At about the same time, the Packers' secondary struggled with injuries and didn't have any experienced backups. That led cornerback [B]Charles Woodson[/B] to vent about Smith's release after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. "My mind keeps going back to Anthony Smith," Woodson said at the Metrodome. "I don't know if we win this game if we have Anthony still on the team, but the decision to get rid of a guy that knows this defense in and out and made plays in the preseason, and not being able to have a guy like that come in when Atari goes down, that's a big dent in this defense. If the outcome would have been different, who knows? But I think we would have played some of those things a lot better." After being released by the Packers, Smith was claimed by the St. Louis Rams and then released on Nov. 5, 2009. The[U] Packers put in a claim on Smith at that time, but he was awarded to the Jaguars by virtue of a worse record.[/U] [B]Asked in January if releasing Smith was a [U]mistake[/U] since he tried to get him back, Thompson said: “I don’t know about mistake; at the time we felt like he could add something to our team.
