New story on WIlliams

Read that this morning... he commented earlier this year about playing hurt this past season.

From the OTA's...

Interception by Tramon Williams wiped out by an offsides penalty. Rodgers threw it up for grabs cuz of the flag.

@RobDemovsky
Packers have to like Williams being aggressive going for balls. The nerve damage in his shoulder, which he talked about last fall, is healing.

from the article:

quote:

Williams loves the new additions on defense, gushing over Jerel Worthy specifically.

wha...? huh...? Williams must be a slacker too. gotta put him on the bubble after reading that.

Everybody knows Worthy waits til game day to take plays off.

FS has a point. The guy is a demon on the practice field. Not his fault the games make him so sleepy.

Maybe if he tried some of that purple drank, he wouldn't get so sleepy.

It would probably improve his body lean.

I bet some Adderall would help.

....

Was Worthy the one offsides?

No, he took that play off.

Not that the injuries totally excuse his performance in 2011 but it does make sense. When it happened I seem to recall there being some fear that he might be lost for the season, but he played through it (not very well).

In late 2009 and 2010 he was one of the best corners in the league. Not so much last year. We all know the pass rush sucked but so did Tramon's play on the field.

As an undrafted FA I'm pulling for the guy to return to form.

So if he wasn't an undrafted FA you wouldn't be pulling for him to return to form?

Just another reason why the defense can't possibly be as bad this year. Between injuries, regressions, personnel decisions and 16 games of facing teams playing catch up, 2011 was a perfect storm of crap.

If we had had quality depth at DB last year Williams could have sat a few games or more to heal up. As banged up as his shoulder was, he was still the best option to keep playing. Consider who the back-ups were, House a raw rookie who had his own TC injury issues and Bush (need I say more), as well as Shields who regressed due to the lockout and also played poorly.

For many reasons I expect substantially improved play from the Defense this year at all 3 levels.
