Today, the opposition includes Alshon Jeffery (6-3, 216) and Kevin White (6-2½, 215) in Chicago, Calvin Johnson (6-5, 236) in Detroit and Charles Johnson (6-2, 215) in Minnesota.

"We were looking at Randall but he's just not that big," an executive in personnel for an NFC team said. "None of them (in Green Bay) are very big. That concerns you a little bit in that division with those big receivers."

It's a little bit of a concern, but Shields got some sky on that non-catch by Dez last January. Timed his jump very well. Got a hand on it.

Here's a nugget:

Hayward has reached the crossroads of his career. The outside berth opposite Shields is his to lose.

If his problematic hamstring holds up and he flourishes as a starter, a lucrative new deal from Green Bay or as an unrestricted free agent awaits just eight months away.

We have always be drafting short cbs. All the way back to when Moss was a rookie and all the Vikes had to do was throw the ball up for him. We will see alot of that with the Bears and Lions. Dez will play jump ball with us like he did on the by the bs rule incomplete pass.


Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

NFL average for cornerback is 5'11" and no one on the Packers roster of cornerback's is lower than 5'11".

We could get guys like Aaron Rouse but he couldn't play a lick.

I was on the too small CB thing for the Pack years ago. Brandon Marshall wasn't a shorty. I don't think there's any reason to panic...no CB is Megatron's size, anyway. Just get guys who have great ball skills and can jump despite their size.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

That's where the "back shoulder" passes we use nowadays really originated.
