Cheesehead
He was terrible (at best) last year. We drafted Rouse to upgrade the position. A lot of people don't like Manuel (which is understandable), but I want to know what do you expect out of him this year?
- ST demon?
- Valuable veteran presence to give tips to our young Safeties from the sidelines?
- A backup player that will be a distraction?
- A starter that will improve over his dreadful first year as a Packer (he can't really do any worse).
Personally, I think I'm alone in expecting Manuel to be the starter at SS this year. I guess you can call it a gut feeling, but I think Manuel will have a decent year this year (not good or great, but solid). I expect him to do exactly what he was brought on to do: shore up our run support and not miss as many tackles as he did last year. I expect Manuel to improve (not a lot, but a little bit) in his coverage support, to the point where we won't see as many big plays.
When it is all said and done, I think Marquand will end up proving that last year was an anomaly, and not the norm.
