One of the position battles that is and will continue to be a heavy focus in Green Bay is at safety.  Entrenched in one starting role is Morgan Burnett, who enters his fourth season and appears poised to take a step forward in becoming one of the team’s best defensive players.  The other safety position [...]

Don't think they'll let Richardson play. Packers tweak on neck injuries.

McMillian's job to lose.

If McMillian shits himself, Ted will go get someone. Hopefully it won't be Anthony Smith. lol

I kind of like Ben Ericksen.

He was 4th in the nation in INTs per game, 4.4 speed, works hard and hustles.

Former WR like Sam Shields. He moved to safety as a Junior.

Kind of a project, but sounds like he has instincts and ball skills.

Like Shields.

If they're not going to let him play, why didn't they cut him during the offseason like they did with Collins? Why didn't they grab at the very least another camp body before last week?

I'm surprised no one has signed S Kerry Rhodes yet. He's been a pretty good FS over the years. Unless he's thinking about retiring or asking for too much money. There are some rumors going around about his sexuality but he's a good talented football player and teams have signed all kinds of players as long as they had talent.

Jennings coverage skills seem very very good, but his ball skills and reacting to the throw, not so much.

There was a couple of red zone throws that he was in great position for and should of been able to knock them down or at the very least he should of been able to tip them. But even though he was in the right position his reaction time to a fast throw the ball got right by him.

I've read that Jennings is working ahead of McMillian in OTAs but that probably means nothing. I think most agree after Burnett McMillian has the most upside, but he's just got to make less mistakes and know the defensive system better as well know what the offense is up to better. But if he has the mental side down better then he very well could be the starter.

Also sounds like they were working Hyde and McMillan as the slot CBs in the dime package (with Hayward on the outside). Got to remember Shields hasn't sign his contract yet, and House is still recovering from Surgery so once they get back Hayward might go back to the slot.
