I know this will be unpopular but...

...how about kicking the tyres on PacMan Jones?

He could fill in as the dime back and return man now that Tramon may get pulled from that duty.

If he proved to the coaches he had the ability what would be the risk?

Keep him on a tight leash, and if he messed up cut him. It's not like we'd have millions invested in the guy. And Green Bay may have fewer places for him to get into trouble?

All personal issues aside, he never really seemed to be that good of a player. Unimpressive in Dallas. His only good year or so came when he was with the Titans.

I agree. How come nobody is bringing up Derrick Martin? He was a CB in Baltimore I believe.

Martin is a good point but we still need another CB or S IMO. But I'm also guessing their is a reason the Ravens moved him from CB to S... and I don't think it's because the Ravens have the best CBs...

You're right, I just surprised no one brought it up considering people are considering Collins as an option.

Actually adam jones might be a reasonable risk for a few games u need a depth guy at this point. He also has some familiarity with 3-4 and his problem in dallas was dallas runs 34 pure zone most of the time I believe jones is more of a man coverage corner. Also stronger core of veterens here now could work.

Couple more to throw out there...

O'Neal, Deltha Played with NE last season.. decent man up cover guy. 3 Picks last season.

Eric Green - Started 9 games for the Cards last season.

Marcus McCauley - Former Viking.. alot of raw talent.

Joey Thomas - Kind of a washout.. but...


Now.. as far as the impact of the two injuries.. I think Harris's has more impact because it will force us to use Woodson differently against solid passing teams. I also think the depth is a little better at LBer than CB, but I wouldn't sell this Underwood kid short.. we will give up a much more physical presence with him in the lineup in the 5 yard zone.. but I think he might be solid down the field in coverage with a little bit of playing time.

What I am saying is I would trust him over Bush... that Blackmon injury now looms large.

I truly hope they go out and ink a physical corner with vast experience.. just to steady the position.. McCalister would have been my choice.. with him out, McKenzie, Surtain or ONeal might get my nod as veteran depth.

I truly hope Al takes Underwood under his wing from the sideline.. a personal coach of sorts..

This injury is horrible by itsself, but the timing makes it even worse.

Chris McAllister was also my first pick. Played in Baltimore, knows the system, was actually still a starter last year for some time. He might've lost a step, but he'd be one hell of a nickel corner.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (13h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (14h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
