[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 862385, member: 9033"] I like the confidence but I'm not sure where it comes from. King has been very hit-or-miss (also injured often over his career), and Williams is getting on in years. Good pass defenses generally need at least one very good corner (check that box with Alexander) and two good corners (check one of those with Williams this year). I'm not sure the Packers will have those two good corners next year. Williams was VERY good in coverage but he's going to slow down at some point (I assume anyway) and King, well, if he's the second best corner on the team then the pass defense is going to be in trouble. Understand, I'm not trying to say that the pass defense is going to be awful or anything, just that the team DOES need to find some young corners that can replace Williams/King if/when they decline. The run defense and TE coverage is obviously a bigger concern but the team doesn't appear to have anyone on the roster to replace Williams if he leaves this year nor do they have anyone that could become a more reliable #2 CB than King. I'm also not trying to say that King is terrible, he's a low-end starting #2 CB but the team could really use an improvement in that area, especially since the one knock you could [I]maybe[/I] make against Alexander is his lack of height against the bigger receivers. To sum up, run defense and TE coverage are the biggest concerns (better dlinemen and ILBs needed) but the Packers need some young corners to groom behind Williams and King. [/QUOTE]
