[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 198389, member: 227"] Al Harris is the "other" guy. "He sounds a lot like our #2 in Kelly Jennings"... I somehow doubt that Kelly Jennings is even in Harris' league. :) I'm sure Harris is up to the task of covering Branch. :thumbsup: This is where our young CBs will be tested. Jarret Bush has great ability, and has gone up against some very talented WRs (Calvin Johnson, for example). Bush has risen to the challenge on those occasions, but then he has also made mistakes covering other WRs that have been costly. Generally though, I'd say Bush's play has been more good than bad. Then there is also CB Tramon Williams, a young free agent we signed this off-season that has deceptive speed. He can run, and has been solid in coverage when used. For some reason though, he hasn't been used a whole lot until the end of the season. Even when he did see extended action, I don't think I remember Tramon Williams making a mistake in coverage all season, which says a lot about him considering how young he is. More importantly, the Packers have tried something new in the last regular season game. Against the Lions, the Packers made their starting FS Nick Collins the nickel back, replacing him with a rookie FS Aaron Rouse. Don't think this weakens the backfield, because Rouse is 6'4, and has shown a nose for the ball this season (2 INTs in two starts). Collins has great speed, if I'm not mistaken he ran the 40 in around 4.35 seconds. So it isn't as if the Packers have no one that can match-up with Burleson's speed. Yes, then there is James Jones, the rookie WR that was second amongst rookies in catches (47), and had almost 700 yards receiving (676 to be exact). Not to mention K-Rob, who came on really strong the last game of the season, and Ruvell Martin, a 6'4 WR that has been linked to having Randy Moss like abilities, minus the blazing speed (Ruvell has deceptive speed none-the-less). Of course then there is our TE Donald Lee, who had 48 receptions for almost 600 yards (585 to be exact). I'm sure Tatupu will have to be on his game to cover Lee well, and that will limit Tatupu's utilization as a blitzing LBer. [/QUOTE]
