LANDOVER, Md. -- Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Marcus Mariota and Kirk Cousins aren’t exactly a murder’s row of quarterbacks, but did the Green Bay Packers really expect to stop them -- or even slow them down -- with cornerbacks like Quentin Rollins, LaDarius Gunter and Demetri Goodson on the field?
While general manager Ted Thompson at least tried to supplement the banged-up running backs group with waiver-wire pickups (Jhurell Pressley and Christine Michael) and a trade (Knile Davis), he has ignored the cornerback spot since he lost opening-day starters Sam Shields (concussion in Week 1) and Damarious Randall (to a groin injury that has kept him out six of the last seven games).
