I haven’t seen enough of Barrington to know whether or not he’s the answer and we probably won’t unless Hawk gets injured. But Lattimore will get his chance tomorrow and Demovsky (and I) believe he has a shot at replacing Jones even when Jones gets healthy. Lattimore started four games last season and he had 2 sacks and 1 pass defensed. On his Packer Update site, Michael Rodney had this to say about Lattimore in July: <a href="http://packerupdate.net/?p=34054" target="_blank">http://packerupdate.net/?p=34054</a>I understand why coaches want assignment-sure players. But I would rather have a player who can make plays even if he's not where he should be 100% of the time. In the last game, Brad Jones may have been 100% assignment sure and look at the results. Unless Lattimore is out of position on 25% or more of the plays (and I don't think that's the case), what's the difference if he's out of position on a play vs. Jones being where he's supposed to be but doesn't make the play - or worse commits a penalty on that play negating a play made by a teammate? I hope Rodney is right and all Lattimore lacks is experience. I don’t know exactly what went on in the Packers draft room either, but I would bet the exact opposite. Cursing and throwing things around just doesn’t fit Thompson’s MO. He and everyone else in the draft are used to watching players they like go off the board before their pick. To fit the need at either safety or ILB, my guess is the Packers preferred Shazier over Mosley at ILB and they may have preferred Clinton-Dix over Pryor at safety. I saw safety being a bigger need than ILB – not sure if they did or not. But – again just a guess because we don’t know – I bet they would have been happy with any of the four. If that’s true, Thompson wouldn’t have his staff burning up the phone lines since he was likely to get value by staying put at 21.</blockquote>
