Green Bay — It’s May. The practices are “voluntary.”
But inside the Green Bay Packers’ cornerbacks room, the volume level is high and instruction is blunt. Position coach Joe Whitt Jr. doesn’t have the benefit of time, of patience at his position with Tramon Williams (Cleveland) and Davon House (Jacksonville) departed.
“My expectations of guys have not changed,” Whitt said after Thursday’s OTA practice. “It’s just a different group of guys that we have. I coach them very hard. It’s difficult being around me. They don’t like me right now. And they shouldn’t because it’s very difficult being around me because I know where I want them to get to. Until they get there, it’s not going to be a comfortable place.
“The room will not be a room of comfort because you’re going to do it a certain way until we get it right.”
Last season, Whitt believed he had four legitimate in starters in Sam Shields, Williams, Casey Hayward and House. Two are gone, two are still here. And in this pass-heavy league that stretches defenses out three, four, five receivers at a time, Whitt must get the Packers’ top two draft picks — Arizona State’s Damarious Randall and Miami (Ohio)’s Quinten Rollins — up to speed.
