The Packers will promote rookie cornerback Herb Waters from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's NFC wildcard game vs. the Giants.

I'm constantly going to be thinking John Waters when I see his jersey/announcers say Waters.

Another one to go along with Gunter!

Our DB coach is damn good. I don't think anyone was debating otherwise though.

Dorleant played more than the average life of a GB cornerback that is about 0.4 quarters.

Herb is 6' and ran a 4.4. Long arms.

Let's just hope he's ready.

I just wonder if some of the off coverage we've been seeing with those two has to do with injuries. Randall had a shoulder issue the past couple weeks, so I can see why he might shy away from engaging in bump in run some times (not an excuse, but a possible reason), but not sure why Rollins is often so far off the receiver that he doesn't touch them until they're 20 yards down the field with the ball in hand.

Not sure if it's scheme or individual technique that's the cause but it's maddening. Hoping this young kid has some technique going, because I think we're gonna have to rough these wideouts up at the line and disrupt the timing to win. Not sure playing off and softening up the middle is gonna work here.

Remember we've got guys. We've got Hyde, Bryce, Marwan Evans, Hawkins. The starters will be Gunter and presumably Randall, with Hyde at slot.

That said, I'm interested to see what Waters looks like. Shields was pretty raw too.

Eli Manning will be salivating if Waters makes it into the game.
