I agree with the articles, but the Dude is Savvy - as Boris suggested, Woodson has some pretty good value - at least for the rest of this season. He's just one of those players, like Driver, that you just do not want to see let go - even when it MAY BE best for the team.

I appreciate DD as much as the next guy, but I don't think he should have made the final roster. Woody has a little bit left, but there's no way in hell GB can pay his salary next season... and they shouldn't. Integrating him back into the lineup in the post season is going to be tedious IMO. If it comes at the expense of CH, I want nothing to do with it.

Should Woody play when he's ready?
Definately. Without a doubt.
I have a theory. Why play him and risk it when the kids are winning and getting valuable experience. The plus side of this, is that there will be whole new packages to put in for the playoffs with Chuck featured. There will be no tape to study. There will be no gameplan that can account for it. Surprise, surprise, surprise!

Truth. Woodson is still one of the Packers' 5 best DBs. I wouldn't take Hayward off the field for him at this point, but I'd take him over MD Jennings in a second. Jennings isn't exactly a world beater in coverage and comparing his tackling to Woodson's is laughable. Add in Woodson's game savvy an on field leadership, and The choice is easy.
No question Woodson is not what he once was, but I think some of you are exaggerating his decline a bit. His biggest weakness at this point is his ability to run with receivers in coverage, and at safety he won't have to do too much of that.
Now that the Packers have the corners they need for man coverage, just think of all the ways Capers can use Woodson. You're not going to get that kind of versatility from Jennings.
When the defense is on the field, and the Packers need a game changing play, no way I'd want to see Jennings out there instead of Woodson. No way.
