Green Bay has 8 players listed as CB following the addition of Tremon Smith. The only have 3 safeties with the loss of Raven Greene. Last week they used Will Redmond at safety w/ Amos in Greene’s spot. Wonder if Tramon sees some time at S again given the depth at both positions. Of course Sullivan can play a little safety too, but if trying to get best players on the field Tramon at safety could still make sense.

I heard on the radio Josh Jackson was playing some safety...

Maybe don't even out the touches but give Jamaal a nice mention in the team newsletter.

As long as it comes AFTER the article on what our record is.

Now THAT is interesting. I suggested late last year that it might be his best position given his route reading skills, decent size and modest speed for a CB (4.56 at the combine). He should be at his best when looking at the QB and reacting to what he sees. He should also be able to make better use of his average speed when he can read and react. If he could make a third good safety, that position is pretty well sorted with Amos, Savage (and Greene when healthy). He might have good hands as well, having spent time as a receiver.

Should be a tighter game than most expect. Denver will be desperate. Packers are far from an offensive juggernaut. Chris Harris still plays at a high level, which should mitigate the Adams factor. Royce Freeman looked impressive last week, running over a bear or two.

Agreed. Harris should follow Adams and he's still a top CB. Real test for someone, anyone to step up and be a consistent 2nd option.

If you guys want 20-25 touches every week for Jones, enjoy it while it lasts, cause you won't have him in December.

Better get Dexter Williams in there for some carries then, because the Jamaal Williams runs are going nowhere.

Agreed. He's probably better at Safety than CB.

quote from last year :

"...with this type of cross-training comes a broader understanding of the defensive concepts Pettine likes to employ. As a player’s scope of the playbook expands, from one position to two and two positions to four, his football IQ blossoms accordingly. And then eventually, be it weeks or months or even several years later, his development reaches new levels whereby he can comprehend the interplay between various parts of the defense.

That is why Pettine’s description of rookie cornerback Josh Jackson was so flattering earlier this week (2018). By categorizing Jackson, the Packers’ second-round pick, as someone who the coaches “foresee being able to play multiple positions for us,” Pettine was speaking to the nexus of both mental and physical ability.
He also praised Jackson for employing multiple techniques suitable in both press-man and off coverage."
