This really sucks. It made absolutely no sense to me why he was out there. Why not put Tramon Williams on the 3-4th string punt coverage team while they're at it. Maybe even Woodson and Mathews. This was really a coaching fail. Late in the first preseason game, there was absolutely no reason the Packer's third, at worst, and most likely second best CB should have been a gunner. Was there ever an explanation of this? Not that I would buy into it anyway. He shouldn't have been out there at that point, and that's not hindsight.

Keeping the starting CBs is MUCH more important, in my opinion. I'm not a coach though, what do I know. I have no doubt they wish he wouldn't have been out there now either.

We'll go 14-2, then lose the first game of the Playoffs at home.
