As I go back, and think about the safety position last year, and now see that GB has shown interest in two safeties, it gets me thinking.

During last year, when the injuries hit the safety position. Here is what I saw. Bigby goes out hurt, Rouse stepped in as his backup. When Collins would get hurt, Rouse would step in as his backup. Even though Peprah was listed as #2 FS.

Now with two safeties being looked at. Does that point to some move like Rouse being set to move to OLB in situations where Kampman slides up to DE from his OLB spot, using a smaller, faster S instead of a LBer? Or does this just show that Peprah is not that good and they are looking to replace him?

Rouse can't play OLB, in my opinion. He'd get pushed around all day.

I agree. The only time I can see Rouse at OLB is during package "dime" where their is 6 DBs on the field, or goal line when the S move up to basically be another LB.

But the Packers have used the dime package often since drafting Hawk. Usually they keep Hawk and Barnett on the field the whole game. And if not Chillar goes in with one of them.

Also for the goal line the S will be in the box and they usually bring in Rouse for goal line S.

But I don't see Rouse moving full time.....

But I see just wanting to bring in a vet that's played in the 3-4 because the S have to make most of the calls, and get people in place. Collins seems to have too many miscommunication problem in the past, Bigby has limited talent and was injured, Rouse doesn't play smart even though he has great talent and then their is a huge drop off IMO.

I think they want a vet back-up S to be able to start if need be but also coach these guys up.

Anthony Smith just signed with us. You can forget about Charlie Peprah.

Oh yeah? Agreed that Peprah's gone.

Sorry Charlie,

Only good players get to stay Packers.
