Nearly all six of the Packers' safeties make legitimate contributions on a weekly basis.

It's nice that the Safeties are deep and versatile but I still feel like their is an over load on WR/S.

But maybe the bottom of the depth will offer some reward in the future as they somehow contribute more.

So they keep 7 Wide receivers and McCarthy says the more guys you can get on the field is good but Abby doesn't see the field, what's up with that?

Not just Abby, nobody but Jordy, Cobb and Davante see the field until injuries force it.

Janis still doesn't quite seem to understand the WR position... I've honestly wondered if another position might be better for him (long term... short term it would suck as he'd have to learn a new position)... but last year when he showed he could cover and tackle on STs, I have to admit, I wondered if Janis could play DEEP FS... lines up and protect the deep area... he has the pure speed for it... and being so deep you have less options to think about and being deep allows the DB a little more time to think/react. Janis would clearly need time to adjust, but long term... also thought about working him into some running plays (WR sweep and some stuff?) and WR Davis seems to be passing him on the deep option.

Evans only seems to be ST... but he's physical and might make a great long term SS... especially with Hyde being in a contract year and Burnett the year after that. So maybe Evans could be the long term answer there.

Now Brice can play. Has he past Banjo as the #3 S? ... though Banjo looked much better this year in training camp until he got injured.

As for safeties, Brice will make Burnett expendable, if he stays healthy and keeps learning. And these safeties have been playing pretty well in coverage as well. Hyde will play out his contract and be gone.

Also, I don't think Ladarius Gunter has been given his due props. The kid is really good in man coverage, and should get extended playing time even when Rollins, Randall, and (fingers crossed) Shields return.
