We already signed tackle Dane Randolph to replace Meredith on the PS, so we're filled up again.

Nick Collins will do everything he can to play. I anticipate Nick will play.

Matt Giordano had two interceptions in practice.

"Look for another reason to piss and moan about the management"

Dude, WTF?? Are you serious? Do you have ANY clue what you're talking about? I have been a Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson supporter since the beginning. Do not use that rhetoric on me. It's not going to work. I do not look for reasons to slam our management team. However, when I do see things that I personally think our mistakes, I call them out. I'm not going to blindly follow them.

And as far as looking for current events to discuss, how is discussing the current state of our safety position not relevant? So, we're conversing on an internet forum, yet to reference any actions made a few months ago is prohibited? That's BS. Actions made over the past couple months directly affect where the Packers are at today, making them very relevant.

Let's see, better not talk at all about the Cincy game huh, since that's done, gone, and over with? Makes perfect sense. NOT.

Like I said, if we start showing significant improvement, then I'm sure I'll have much better things to ponder and / or discuss. However, when we lay an egg like we did last week, I'm going to discuss actions that I think contributed to getting us there.

Rouse sure fell a long way since the '08 preseason, when many fans (including me) thought he was starting caliber and maybe better than Collins. Then, during the '08 season, a bad thing happened: He actually got some serious playing time. He did not play well. He was even worse in his two games this season--constantly out of position, although at least it was somewhat understandable because he had missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury.

It was becoming abundantly clear that Rouse was just another guy. I'm a little surprised how disappointed so many people seem to be with this move. Rouse is one of those players who inhabit the lower reaches of various NFL rosters during their careers. He was too tall (6'4") and too stiff and too often out of position. Thompson drafted him because he seemed to have the potential to become a special player, but it just wasn't happening.

I hope the new guy is better. I doubt that he will be any worse. At any rate, replacing a backup safety who wasn't very good does not seem like anything to get upset about.
