Woodson will never play SS, everyone needs to put that to rest a.s.a.p.
You don't take a hall of fame CB who will be turning 35 this year and put him into a position he has never played before. Being a roaming CB that blitzes, is a whole different story then being a full time SS.

How old was Rod Woodson when he made the switch? How about Ronnie Lott? (I don't know the answer, but I seem to remember at least one of them switching in his mid-thirties.)

My point exactly, Rod played minimal safety in collage and made the switch to FS. Lott made the switch only a couple years into his career, maybe 25 or 26 years old, and also went to FREE SAFETY. All these examples moved to FS and made the move for a reason. Lott also played alot of safety in collage if i recall.
Nick Collins anyone?

A free agent CB coming out of Oakland would never pan out. ever....

I don't think people think it is a bad signing just wondering if how realistic it is. The Packers have a lot of money tied up in the secondary (Collins/Williams/Woodson). I am assuming that the Packers see Shields eventually becoming a starter in a couple of years or so. So were does that leave room for another starting CB?

I agree the Packers could use some better depth then underwood/Lee/Bigby (Lee/Bigby always get hurt). However, you sign a free agent CB they will want to start.

Also keep in mind (as of right now) the Packers also have a lot of money invested in their ILBs. Don't forget the offensive side of the ball.

How big is this difference in the Packers' defensive scheme, though?

Burnett is by no means a traditional SS. He fits the FS mold perfectly. Same goes for Peprah, really. The only real, classic, SS we have on our roster is Atari Bigby.

Who's not actually seeing a whole lot of time on the field.

Even more important than fitting a certain mold is being a good tackler, good in zone coverage and versatility. Woodson has all of these. I mean, just this year, he made 92 tackles, forced 5 fumbles, got 2 sacks and had 2 ints. He was around the ball on just about every snap and he's one of the surest tacklers we have.

That's not a statline your corner will normally have.

Who was the DB who recently said something to the effect of "I'm paid to make interceptions, not tackles."

I believe I heard that on NFL Network, and it really pissed me off for some reason!

It was Asante Samuel from the Eagles. It's funny because he did neither against us.

Ahhh ok, that sounds like him!! LOL. I was thinking it may have been Asomugha, but glad I was wrong.

Asomugha is an incredibly well spoken guy. I don't think he would be any locker room issue. Don't see it happening, but he seems like a good guy.
