Woodson on Pace for Another Eminent Season in Green Bay

PrintThe secondary of the 2011 Packers are apparently momentarily troubled and rebuilding. They are not exactly overwhelmingly dominant this year as they were last, but still seem to come up with big plays when they matter most. Cornerback Charles Woodson has been an essential piece in the center of these moments. The man continues to rack up the kind of stats that are-in a sense- expected of him, all whilst recovering from a broken collar bone and battling a foot as well as a knee injury this season.
The veteran in his fourteenth season has obviously not lost his explosiveness, already with one sack. His solid ability as a play-maker was beautifully displayed in Minnesota, once undercutting Christian Ponder's pass to Shiancoe for an interception and another on a similar outside route to Jenkins. "Poochie" had done his part and McCarthy's boys took advantage by scoring on both turnovers. One fumble recovery and 62 return yards on five interceptions shows he has also apparently retained his ambidexterity in terms of any possible offensive production from a corner. If I were a gambling man, I would put my money on The President of the United States receiving another signed jersey this season. That's not to say I approve of any player verbalizing their premature Super Bowl predictions, but I cannot say that Woodson's post-game oratory doesn't invoke a certain adrenaline rush. If you asked me I'd say, "Sign away Charlie".
Let's just hope the Packers can make good on his promise another year.

I liked the post. Actually one of the better ones done for someone who hasn’t commented. I think we would be better served if you broke out some comments first before heading straight for the FanPost. It just seems like “Meh, I want a blog, but I don’t want to do all the legwork in setting it up.”

I don't have a problem with this at all
You don’t need to “earn” a fanpost. It’s fairly well-written, and actually pretty good for a first fanpost. The stat table is pretty nice, and it’s interesting to note that he’s returned an interception for a TD every year he’s been in GB (which I just learned from the stat table).

Know what else is interesting?
That apparently, CBs were not allowed to get safeties in OAK for several years.

Looking at the stat line
How was C-Wood not in the running for DPOY in 2010? 2 INTs is low, but 5 forced fumbles and 2 sacks is pretty damn good for a corner back.

But his total tackles being 92 with 74 solo…that’s damn impressive.

Maybe I'm just a bad person
When the first sentence of the piece describes the Packers secondary as “momentarily troubled” and “rebuilding” I start to get skeptical. First of all I doubt how these two descriptive terms fit together. If a team is momentarily troubled it suggests a short term problem that might be resolved through the coarse of the season. In contrast rebuilding suggests replacing personnel and a process that will take at least an offseason perhaps more.
Now is the Packers secondary “momentarily troubled”? Sure. The Packers are missing Nick Collins and Tramon Williams has been banged up. Mix that with Shields having a bit of a sophomore slump and there some tough times back there. That doesn’t mean that there is a lack of talent there or that the Packers are going to be rebuilding though.
So yeah, I’m kinda with BLAS where I get suspicious when someone who has never commented before writes an article, formatted with lots of pictures, and the first sentence raises red flags. Maybe that makes me a bad person, but I still don’t know exactly what is trying to be said either.
I get cautious too.

It doesn’t make you a bad person PackApologist, I seem to have sporadically thrown those terms out and was a bit unclear with the whys. They are momentarily troubled in areas that should be easily tweaked, which I feel Capers will address before things get too lopsided. Surely, I would not say that there is a “lack of talent” on this defensive as we are graced with some of the game’s best defensive artillery. Furthermore, they are rebuilding in terms of filling the void with the injury to defensive hero Nick Collins and from losing Barnett and Jenkins, who played in Green Bay for the better part of a decade.

Collins, of coarse, Jenkins....okay......but Barnett? Really?
Replacing one pro bowl player isn’t going to be a rebuild. Teams have to do that all the time because of free agency or injury, it doesn’t matter. It hurts, sure, but this is a game of replacement. The team has to keep moving forward and do the best it can. The good news is that Peprah is okay and safeties are relatively cheap in the draft.
Jenkins…..well okay I guess. The thing with Cullen Jenkins is that as great has he’s been when he’s on the field we tend to forget how often he wasn’t on the field. I honestly don’t remember the last time he put in a full season and always seems to be resting a tweeked something. Replacing him isn’t impossible, especially if Neal can get out of the training room. Otherwise a first round pick could go a long way.
Barnett I’m not buying. He was going to be a back up and Bishop has been playing pretty darn well. Hawk too really. They each struggle in coverage, but Barnett wasn’t lights out in that department either. I don’t see how he was going to make a meaningful contribution to this team, or that the team is going to need any sort of rebuilding to move on from his loss. Smith will continue to grow in to the role and be fine if Bishop or Hawk go down.

Sorry
But why do you keep saying “of coarse?” Unless I have been taught incorrectly for the past two decades, but I believe you mean “course” unless you are trying to emphasize how rough and unsettling our defense has been playing of late…
