Offseason Thread: Perry/Bennett/Kendricks

[humanrefutation]

I'd give up that for a shutdown corner. But I wonder how good Sherman really is at this point. He had a lot of support from a ferocious pass rush, excellent cover linebackers, and possibly the best safety tandem in the league. We have good safeties, but everything else is a question mark.

He guarded the right side and the right side of the Seahawks pass defense was #1 in every category even without Earl Thomas.

That's good, but again, that doesn't tell us enough about Sherman's ability himself. Teams naturally targeted the weaker corners, Lane and Shead. He had Kam Chancellor playing over the top of him or assisting underneath most of the season.

And again he had good cover linebackers and a ferocious pass rush.

Also, there's also a concern breaking down physically.

You might be absolutely right that he's great. But I'm not sure of that.

So any chance Rodgers remembers this and goes crazy vs the Bears?

I have my questions about him too, just pointing out that most of the season Kam was on the opposite side and he actually had a scrub behind him when Earl Thomas went down.

My biggest question is "Would he be allowed to be as physical in Green Bay without being flagged multiple times?"

One thing is for sure, I am not messing up our line by trading Bulaga for him. Just chasing our tail by doing that, filling one hole and creating another........then Rodgers has to do even more with no running game, no RT, and two new guards. MAYBE if we kept Lang I would consider that.

I just have no issue trading Cobb and a 2nd for him because Cobb is going to be cut by next offseason anyways if they re-sign Adams and that 2nd rounder has a very low chance of being as good or better than Sherman.

That's fair. I'd be worried that our receiving depth gets a little thin without Cobb. You've got an aging Jordy. Montgomery is playing RB. And behind Adams, you have an assortment of untested options. Allison looks promising and I still like Davis's potential, but they're still young and fairly inexperienced.

And yes, adding Bennett and Kendricks gives Rodgers more options. But I don't think there's a such thing as too many options on offense.

So I guess it depends on how much the team has confidence in the receiving corp without Cobb, or if they're willing to dedicate a pick there.
