Green Bay is flooded with defensive backfield players. The new guys are of course drawing most of the press coverage. It’s going to take a tsunami of injuries this year to deplete the ranks of the team’s safeties and corners. For 2018, the Packers should be dressing competent players, three-deep, at the cornerback and safety positions.
Do you remember who started and played essentially the whole game at safety in last year’s opening game beatdown of Seattle? Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, yes. Morgan Burnett, also yes. And Kentrell Brice, yes again. Brice was on the field for 96 percent of the game’s defensive snaps, as the Packers went to a three-safety alignment.
