Greg Williams to Saints!

Greg Williams will not be joining Mike McCarthy's staff after signing on to be the New Orleans Saints Defensive coordinator. McCarthy has lost out on the top two targets to replace Bob Sanders, and he will now have to replace him with either LB coach Winston Moss or one of the other candidates available. This is very disappointing considering a high quality coordinator could help propel this team to the next level with a few additions on defense. The next defensive coordinator will ave a big impact on McCarthy's future so he better get it right after missing out on two quality experienced coaches in the past week.

Quick Huddle
  • With so many underclassmen such as Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy and Ole Miss DE Greg Hardy returning to school the Packers chance of landing a top-flight D linemen is diminishing, which could force Ted Thompson to trade down or select the best player available no matter the position.
  • With the Panthers exiting early in playoffs despite coming in with Super Bowl aspirations DE Julius Peppers may give more thought to exploring the free agent market, and if he does Ted Thompson would be wise to make a very strong effort to acquire a guy who could make our defense one of the best in the league.
  • There are internet rumors going around that Al Harris is on his way out. Doubtful. Tramon Williams did play well this year, but do you honestly think Ted Thompson is gonna split on of the best CB tandems on the league? Come on
