[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 285319, member: 2232"] I'm not sure if I am the only one, but I always am a bit tougher, more skeptical, than other Packer fans who always expect the best from every situation. I need to see it on the field before I will buy it. Last year, I wasn't on board with Allen Barbre and was *****ing all preseason for TJ Lang to be given a chance to play RT. I loved what I saw on the field from Lang, but Barbre's technique, balance, basic fundamentals concerned me. Anyway, I am not that impressed at all with Whitt or Perry. In fact, the only 2 good CB's we have had the past hald-dozen years are veterans Woody and Harris, and that's not due to Whitt or Perry. Tramon has been a solid nickel guy, but once he's had to start, he's been below average, or average at best. All these younger guys (that means every CB other than Woody and Harris) have not developed into anything solid. Sure we're hoping Lee and Underwood do. Reports from shorts, no contact practices that they look good is fine & dandy. But that's not anything compared to seeing it on the field in September-February. All the guys that ever were brought in here in the past 5-8 years have not turned into anything. I thought Will the thrill Blackmon had good ability. He's not done anything as a CB, just as a PR. Jarrett Bush has fine natural athleticism, but he can't farking cover anybody and when he is close, he doesn't know how to play the damn ball. Is he mentally-disabled, or should coaching help there? Not sure. I just know the only good CB's we have seen since Mike McKenzie was drafted by us, are Woodson and Harris, a free agent and a trade addition. Either Thompson's eye for CB talent has been ****-poor, or the DB coaches are in need of upgrading. That's the report up until now. If Pat Lee and Brandon the Cheater bring something good to the field this year, then we'll have some progress. As it is now, I'm scared because Woodson is way overdue to miss some time. People here take him for granted. In Oakland, he missed a lot of action. We've been spoiled. [/QUOTE]
