Is the Pack in Trouble at CB?

Tim Kavanagh - ESPN Insider

It was becoming clear to the intelligent dot-connectors out there that the Green Bay Packers would be without veteran cornerback Al Harris at the start of the regular season. Sean Leahy of USA Today confirmed that Tuesday, with word that the team would be placing Harris on the PUP list to start the season, making him ineligible for the first six games.

So, with Harris out, that means Tramon Williams will begin the season as the starter opposite Charles Woodson. Earlier this offseason, we emailed football scientist KC Joyner for some details on how Williams compares to Harris, and he doesn't think it bodes too well for Green Bay:

Pack better off with Harris

"Tramon Williams' 7.7 overall YPA is mediocre, and that includes his time as a backup. Williams' YPA in six games as Al Harris' replacement at right cornerback was a dangerously high 8.7. Harris' YPA last year was 7.6. That means that Williams' YPA was over a yard worse than Harris' in what was a definite off-year for Harris."
