I frankly don't understand how Bigby made the roster again this year. Does this man ever go 4 consecutive weeks without an injury? For all their talk about availability being paramount, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson sure seem to make exceptions for certain players. I'd far rather have a player of decent talent with 95% availability than a player of stellar talent but only 40% availability.

I agree with this but you can't just cut someone because they were injured in the past. You have no idea if they are going to get hurt going into the season. What if we cut him and he went somewhere and had an amazing year how stupid would Ted Thompson and the front office feel and look. IMO he was the best option at the position and would have been furious if he was released.

i still think our best bet is putting jolly at safety.

Hey, so far this year, he's got more INTs than Bigby and Rouse combined. :thumbright:

With how well Woody plays the run and blitzes, I'd actually enjoy him at SS. We have depth at CB, whether it's quality or not is to be determined with play on the field, and no real alternatives if Rouse has any issues. Hoping Rouse can step in and lay some more wood like he did in the Bears game.

Well, he has been hurt now, so I don't think it would be untoward to at least have discussions about the possibility of looking of alternatives. I'm sure that has happened in some fashion behind the scenes, though the Packers very noticeably have not worked out any safeties.

Rouse the starter eh, here we go again like last year. Our secondary is starting to get depleted again. Hopefully we can get a glance of Derrick Martin of what he is capable off. I have to admit Packers D Line and LB's looked really good against the BEARS.

Word, I just meant at least we did try out one safety.

Hopefully Rouse is ready for a 3rd year emergence.

We have no one as good as Landry or Reed. I don't understand the fascination with Bigby by Packer fans. He is so slow and can't cover anyone.

People complain that Ted Thompson has not addressed the offensive line enough, but this position he has been incredibly poor at. Eugene Robinson put our D over the top in the mid 90's, I just wish something other than Smith would have been done this year.

Agreed. What really gets me is the comparisons between Bigby and Troy Polamalu. Do you know what they have in common? Long hair. And it's not even the same kind of long hair. Polamalu's hair is frizzy, and Bigby has dreads. True, Bigby can occasionally put the wood to somebody, but he's so slow that it almost never happens. Polamalu is extremely fast.

I also agree that Ted Thompson has had problems getting good safeties. Collins and Rouse were second and third round picks, so you can't say Thompson hasn't tried, but Collins is still inconsistent and Rouse is not yet close to living up to his potential.
