i wouldn't mind Bennett beating some anger into our defense.

It is refreshing to see Ted Thompson get a quality player from the Free Agent pool. Bennett is a great addition for the Packers.

It does not however fill the void at the CB/CB's position. I hope that TT's personal pride in his past CB picks does not blind him to the reality that most others plainly see. GB needs a secondary that can shut down opposing receivers . Until that happens, GB will continue to be watching SB games from their home couches .

I really wanted this beast when he parted ways with the Bears and was disappointed when he went to New England. A couple of years on, I'm a little less enthusiastic, but I'm looking forward to seeing him challenge the middle of the field or possibly even play from the slot. Hell, given McCarthy's penchant for unconventional formations, we might see him out wide as often as not.

Nevertheless, I'm concerned that Thompson has failed to fill any holes on defense. You can have the world's greatest offense in the regular season, but it won't make a bean's worth of difference in the postseason if your defense can't shut down opposing offenses in the fourth quarter. I'd rather have a historically nasty defense we can depend upon when the games matter than a spectacular regular-season aerial attack that collapses under the pressure of single elimination.
