Sean Richardson will make bur Burnett expendable.

Sean Richardson, the fourth but hardly forgotten member of the Green Bay Packers’ resurgent safety position, is ready for extended duty Sunday night in New Orleans if Morgan Burnett isn’t available.

I really think Richardson would excel in the SS role. Him at SS and HHCD at FS actually seems to me like it could make a great combo.

Drew Breese is just the type of QB I would expect to abuse a player like Richardson in coverage. Especially if Graham is healthy enough. Perhaps Graham's injury will be just enough to level to playing field, though.

Of course a 1st fully healthy offseason can do a lot for a guy.

TE Jimmy Graham on the other hand has great hip movement which helps him with cuts, movement and controlling his body, I've said the guy reminds me much like a WRs than a TE. At blocking the kid is VERY feisty, but other than maybe speed his limitations seem more like a WR to me, and his in line blocking hasn't look the best.


Then again, if you have Hyde in the nickel/dime covering Graham man to man and Richardson in the SS role playing a zone over the top could be a perfect fit. And then blitzing on of the DBs once in a while.

At least according to PFF he's only been targeted in coverage 5 times as a pro. We simply don't know at this point. I don't really know how anyone can say he's too stiff or he's awful or anything in coverage. He might be those things but I know that I haven't seen it yet. He does look like he can play downhill, tackle and hit well though which are good traits for a SS. He's probably athletic enough to be decent in coverage and if he gets more play time we'll see how he does.

Even if Richardson were to play a lot against NO I would bet my money on Hayward or Hyde spending the most time covering him.

Packers did play a lot of cover 2 last year where the Safety the "target" would of most likely been on someone underneath and not the Safety.

I don't really know how anyone can say he's too stiff or he's awful or anything in coverage.

He does look like he can play downhill, tackle and hit well though which are good traits for a SS.

With out a doubt, yes! Richardson fits the perfect mold of the old school SS/LB tweener like Bigby was but Bigby lacked a lot in coverage which people often times overlooked because of his big hits (and Bigby at times did an amazing job of dislodging the ball to break up the catch at times.

That's my thought too... but the problem there is height different... 6'6" against a sub 6' guy... I'm sure the Saints are looking at how that match-up worked for Martellus Bennett when the Packers played the Bears. But of course he might of had better WRs on the outside than Graham and more focus MIGHT be on Graham than it was on Bennett.
