Yeah, I was thinking his return might not be as good as we were hoping for. But, his presence on the field really helped.
Now...onto San Fran and let's hope #21 gets this "D" steam-rolling even better.

Are you all still in favor of releasing him next season and using his salary to resign Jennings?

I think this could be Woodson's last season. Too many younsters in waiting. After TT re-signed DD for posterity's sake this season, I think TT wont do it twice.
As for Jennings...tough call. He certainly makes the Packers a better team with him on the field. But he may just want to play in Miami with Philbin. Plus, his sister's rank comments probably dont help matters.
Man, #21 is a baller. It's amazing the difference he makes on the field, even at 36.
He was out for 9 weeks and then on his 1st game back he leads the team in tackles. Just jumps right back in like he never was out. He seemed to make the whole defense play better and more inspired.
Perfect team to make his come back vs. His tackle for loss on Peterson on first drive swung momentum. He's most effective near the line of scrimmage & Vikes did not have the QB or receivers to scheme him into deeper coverage.
Grave Digger thinks Chuck Woodson's Heisman is overrated 
Clearly having C Wood back in the fold was a big difference on the D. The guy is like having a mad scientist on the field because you aren't going to fool him on playcalls and he always seems to know where the plays are going. More importantly, he brings some attitude and swagger and his tackling last night set the tone

If you had to pick the best DB of this era I'd be hard pressed to name someone other than C-Wood as the best. Perhaps Ronnie Lott?
I think Ronnie is the generation before if it was my opinion. Reed would be the one to compare to. Collins was about to be.
I said in chat last week that Woodson was done.....i was wrong
Last night before the game I was going through a shoe box of trading cards from the past. Found a Charles Woodson rookie card that I didn't remember having. I looked at it and thought "this means a lot more now that he is a storied Packer ....not to mention having a Hall of Fame career" .
Charles has become one of my favorite Packers, it's amazing what he brings to the locker room , and intellectually, not to mention being one of the great athletes of our time.

He is an animal and will be a significant factor in the SF game.
If Charles wins another ring this year it wouldn't surprise me at all if he retired and waited for the Hall of Fame to call in 5 years.
Can't talk about what a great Packer he's been without mentioning all the guy does for his charities. The guy donated $100k of his own money to hurricane sandy victims.

I think the safety position can be played effectively by older players. My guess is Woodson would be a strong contribution to the Packers were he to play next year.
I thought he was done and he proved me wrong. No rust even. We're a better D with him out there

He's our "Ray Lewis"
He's a HOF player. Definitely a difference maker
He also donated $2m of his own money to the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital

I still go back to when the Packers signed him and there was a lot of questioning his heart and motives and a number of other things.
The guy is a football player and has done a lot of good things off the field to warrant serious respect.
Reggie White gets a lot of credit (rightfully so) in many of the same circles but Woody might be as good if not better of a signing for the Packers.
Woody has 3 years left on his deal. He'll e a Packer 3 more years unless an injury forces his retirement. The Packers extended his deal for a reason. He can still play. Rod Woodson played 17 years. Woody will too, and just like Rod Woodson, he'll continue to flourish as a S.
@Packerpedia
Woodson: Locker room leader is great, but that ain’t who I am. I’m a football player. I want guys to feel me on the field between the lines.
@Packerpedia
Charles Woodson: "There’s one play that Erik Walden made on the edge when he tackled A.P. -- last week, we didn’t make those tackles."

Minus the murder, of course.
I love what Woodson brought to the D last night...and what he'll bring these next three games. But....
....it's better to cut ties with a player a year too soon than a year too late. Especially a player making a big salary.

If he's willing to restructure to a reasonable number he'll be back.
Agree, he is going to follow Rod's path. Hopefully he is willing to restrucure his deal so we can sign Clay to the monster contract he deserves.
Do you guys remember when anyone who suggested Wood should be moved to Safety last year was scolded?
He looked decent last night.
He looked decent last night.
He was beaten badly on one play where it looked like he had coverage, but otherwise I think he did okay. The real test will be when they play SF and Vernon Davis starts running around, along with Gore and Kaepernick. I think last night Woodson was assigned to watch Webb after the first series. I don't think he rushed with as much abandon as he was to keep an eye on Webb to make sure he didn't rip off any big runs. Overall, he did just fine!
It's not fair to say Woodson was at Safety really. He was all over the field in his normal role as CB, S, and OLB. The people who weren't in favor of him moving to Safety weren't proven wrong.
Thats how a SS plays against a team who cant pass. You are going to bring him into the box unless its 3rd n 10.
Burnett is still the guy that covers center field
Woodson's strength is playing close to the LOS disrupting things and ****ing with the opposing QB
It's amazing the impact he made last night. Minnesota could not get anything going and C-Wood was classic C-Wood. Tackling, blitzing, and just being a general pain in the ass to the opposition

He truly is the Xfactor in our D and I hope Capers uses him a lot on delayed blitzes up the middle. Moses is good on the delay too

I thought Woodson himself said he didn't want to move to safety.
Four years ago he didn't belong at SS
nobody was suggesting 4 years ago. 4 years ago we were saying eventually. LAST YEAR we were saying the move should be made.
I don't remember people being scolded for that suggestion last year. I think you are trying to create a senerio to pat yourself on the back. Foo agrees with me.
