After everything I read and saw from the other night, one of our biggest issues is at CB.

You may be the only person I have seen post/comment/write this comment (including other Packers forum I frequent, Packers.com site, and JSonline site) that believes this.
Packers are considered to have a lot of young talent with CBs.
Hayward and Williams were not on field, Shields is in contract year but expected to perform at high level, House is basically playing in his 2nd year coming back from injury, Hyde is rookie that just played his 1st preseason game and Bush stays with team for special teams only.

Keep in mind House had the exact same injury as another CB on this team who has had his career killed because of it...

TT has put together a great team and has consistently found talent in just about every single area on the field...but CB. Granted, he did find Sam Shields which was a project we took a bit of a gamble on and won and we got lucky with Casey Hayward last year. However, you look at the epic whiffs he's had over the years starting with Michael Hawkins and Pat Lee for example. I'm not about to write off Micah Hyde yet because I think he really should be a Safety rather than a CB, he was always better as a Safety in college too. We really need to be addressing the CB situation because Shields will want his money after this year, especially if he has another good year and I don't see TT wanting to pay him; nor do I blame him for not wanting to pay Shields either. Who do we have behind Shields? We have one solid starting CB, a has been, and two young guys that barely have any experience one of which is coming off a major shoulder issue. After everything I read and saw from the other night, one of our biggest issues is at CB.
How did we get lucky with Hayward? Thompson traded up early to get him and he produced very well and is turning into one of the better young corners. Where is the luck?
If you don't count the 3 starters this team doesn't have any starting CBs
I have always said....playing CB is arguably the toughest position to play in football. Not only do you have to play "catch-up" with lightning fast guys who know where THEY are going, you have to GUESS where they are going, or try to do anything to disrupt their routes without drawing a penalty.
LOL TT hasn't been able to find talent at CB except for the 2 good starters he's found that don't count because there was a 5th and 2nd round pick didn't work out...
Hmm, don't remember saying they didn't count.
