Maybe the Packers should have made a “ business decision “ of their own after the Chicago game . Getting out of the way of a tackle in a game of that magnitude was cowardly and the fact he is still on the team is shameful . So I guess we want our corners to tackle better yet the Packers maintain status quo keeping these guys on the roster . Kinda sends the wrong message of what will or won’t be tolerated . My guess is there will be a lot more missed tackles by the corners again this season . I just hope someone has the balls to sit their butts on the bench . I’m sick of straight arms , not wrapping up , and business decisions .

Packer CBs were subpar in 2025 and the position has really been lacking since Jaire’s decline started way back in 2021.

Here’s hoping that St Juste and Cisse can turn things around.

Gute believed in a weak link defense.
obviously; he was hoping players return to form.-
You know the list; king ,Alexander etc.

Throw in:
The trading Rural Douglass for cap space.
It just makes this more head scratching.

Gute is like a chameleon.
- adaption and transformation
Pivot, replace, revolve. And a tongue
That won’t give his position away.

He just doesn’t know how to evaluate
A cb when he wants one.
And thats exactly why we don’t have a #1 now.

After the playoff game when Nixon made his business decision I posted that he should have been released. I completely agree with GreenandBold's comment above on this. It's just another example of the lack of accountability which has been a systemic problem for the Packers organization for far too long. Stepping aside rather than at least trying to tackle an opponent is totally unacceptable.

As for what can be done to improve the CBs tackling skills I recommend locking them in a room to watch films of Herb Adderley making tackles and leave them in there until they get it. Besides tackling Adderley defined what a shutdown CB is before the term even existed. As of today the Packers don't have anyone close to a true #1 shutdown corner. However I have expectations/hope that Cisse could become our best CB. We'll see. Thanks, Since '61

I can't wait for the position group article that isn't depressing after 7 freaking seasons.

T-Buck wasn’t much of a tackler and he…never mind.

How about some more interceptions as well?

In my mocks I never considered Cisse because he was always rated higher than our 2nd round pick. Hopefully we got a steal. Jackson also has above average skills, size & speed. So there is a lot to work with there. It's a good start to rebuild the CB room, FINALLY!!

My number 1 choice for GBs CB pick last year was Davison Igbinosun-Ohio State. It's hard to go wrong picking an Ohio State CB or WR. They just have a higher "hit" rate of being good. Igbinosun is a little bigger, maybe a better tackler, and just as fast as Cisse. I would be happy with either.

Gute needs a pass rush….

Doesn’t matter how good they are if you don’t have a pass rush. You can’t cover forever in the new NFL.

Look at Manning and Brady they love the new NFl …..I don’t get hit and I can throw forever.

Favre really has the record …he used to get hit.

Manning and Brady you wouldn’t even know who they are if they played old school football.

Can’t cover forever folks. Need a pass rush …

The opposite is also true: You have to cover people long enough to the rush to reach the QB.

Rush 11 guys and leave the receivers open and see what happens.

Let’s see what our coverage approach is this year before getting too deep into what we need. However, Hafley and every predecessor has become more and more wedded to soft off coverage as time passed in Green Bay. In the past, essentially that’s been Gannon’s approach, though maybe not quite as soft.

Such defenses favor tackling over the ability to cover in motion. Nixon is a classic example, Hobbs was hoped to be, Hadden might be. They aren’t agile/loose hipped, they are physical tacklers who can explode on the catcher and sometimes anticipate. Unfortunately, the emphasis has been on minimizing the YAC, not getting the ball or contesting the catch point. Eyes on the corner, deeper than the route, prevent yards after and, if you see it early, maybe try to jump the play.

However, Gannon also plays quarters type coverages a lot. There one can’t just stay behind, but have to mirror the route and play the catch on anything not close to the line of scrimmage. That coverage suits more traditional corners. It will be interesting to see what we actually are playing and thus looking for. The assumption that Nixon and Hadden will fit as well is not necessarily false, but neither is it necessarily valid. What we do may radically change what we look for and who benefits.

I always wonder what the hell goes on when they're watching the film of this "Turn the head, close your eyes, stick one arm out" tackling technique/form the CB's (as well as others) use. What do they say to these guys? Must not be much of anything because they still do it. Actually, this lack of tackling permeates the NFL now. I remember years ago Kenny Mayne on ESPN starting off an NFL report by saying "This week in tackle football...", I doubt he could or would say that now. But salute to the guys that actually do tackle in tackle football.
