BLUE 1,026 Posted May 5, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: Packers RCB Tramon Williams is expected to be pulled off punt returns in favor of rookie Randall Cobb in 2011.Williams was decent on punts (8.0 average) last year, but it makes more sense to let him focus on shutting down receivers when Cobb can add more explosiveness on special teams. Arguably a top-five cornerback in the league at this point, Williams could keep climbing the rankings playing strictly defense.

Bangy 19 Posted May 5, 2011 Goom move seeing as he has now pretty much taken over the #1 CB spot in Green Bay it makes no sense to have him any where near those now tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted May 5, 2011 I'd be willing to bet this was a big reason Cobb was taken by the Pack. It'll be important for him to produce there because the Packers need to improve on special teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeVo 176 Posted May 5, 2011 I got to see Cobb play quite a bit, and against my Volunteers. He should be able to be a very solid returner for the Pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted May 5, 2011 If Tramon were to get hurt that would be a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RANGA+ 1,210 Posted May 6, 2011 Wise decision, especially after the season he just had. He was the best cover corner on that team last year, so they wouldn't want him getting hurt on special teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBen07 285 Posted May 6, 2011 Smart move Packers. Cobb will be a solid returner for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted May 6, 2011 Was expecting it. Williams did have a couple good returns but he decided to pick up the ball off a bounce multiple times and would get smeared, not smart on his part. Hopefully Cobb can make an impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah... And we would sometimes throw Charles back there too. NEVER made any sense to me. Thankfully we have a returner now. Although, with Driver probably retiring in a year or two, I am not sure how long we will have Cobb returning kicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers 380 Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah... And we would sometimes throw Charles back there too. NEVER made any sense to me. Thankfully we have a returner now. Although, with Driver probably retiring in a year or two, I am not sure how long we will have Cobb returning kicks. Word is that Driver might be cut... Let's face it, he had a pretty lousy season last year and at his age he isn't getting better. It'd break my heart to see him in another jersey so I hope not..

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted May 8, 2011 We are NOT cutting Donald Driver... lmao. Come on. That'd be cruel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted May 8, 2011 Im sorry but no there is no way that we cut Driver, the guy has been loyal to the Packers from day one plus the fact that this was his first down season in years and pretty much the first where he had injuries. DD stays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
