Rodgers Says He Can See Matt Flynn Going to Miami

Aaron Rodgers thinks the idea of backup quarterback Matt Flynn going to join Joe Philbin in Miami seems to make sense.

Rodgers on Wednesday told a Milwaukee radio station he sees the Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks as the “two top dogs” in the race for the talented backup, expected to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

This is based on a conversation with Flynn “in the last few days,” Rodgers said of his backup quarterback in Green Bay the past four years.

This is based on a conversation with Flynn “in the last few days,” Rodgers said of his backup quarterback in Green Bay the past four years.

“I think with a talent like Matt, he would have success in just about any offense you plug him into,” Rodgers said. “I think you could see maybe a little bit more immediate success in an offense he’s very familiar with, so I think you have to look at Miami, obviously.”

As for the Seahawks, their general manager John Schneider knows Flynn from his time in Green Bay.

“John Schneider knows Matt and he’s pulling some strings up there with them,” Rodgers said. “I think that would be an opportunity for him up there. Those are probably, in my opinion, the two top dogs that would go after him. There’s got to be at least five or six teams who legitimately should take a look at Matt and see him being an immediate improvement over what they have at quarterback.”

Woodson May Play Safety in 2012 if Collins Can’t Return

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Packers may ask Charles Woodson to play safety next season if Nick Collins isn’t able to come back to the team after his neck injury.

If Nick Collins is unable to return from a neck injury, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers might consider asking cornerback Charles Woodson to play safety. But that is not a given because Capers thinks moving Woodson out of a corner position would allow the opposition to take advantage of matchups against Sam Shields, the cornerback who would replace Woodson outside. That’s why, he said, he didn’t strongly consider playing Woodson there instead of Charlie Peprah after Collins was lost for the season.

“Then you have to decide who you put in outside,” Capers said of replacing Woodson at corner. “One thing about Charles out there at corner, people if they’re going to try to run the ball out there, they’re always going to try to crack (on the linebacker) and make that corner try to tackle. It doesn’t take long for people to say, ‘OK, who are we going to make tackle?’ We don’t worry about Charles.”

Packers Post-Loss Poll Questions





What Will the Future Hold for Nick Collins?

With the season over, the Packers have 8 free agents, three of them starters as they already start to look ahead to 2012. Nick Collins is one player that the team will have to decide on, and already there’s chatter about what the future will hold for the safety, who had a neck injury kill his 2011 season in week two.

Aside from the obvious, nothing appears to be holding back Nick Collins, who’s pondering his future after suffering a serious neck injury during the Packers’ Week 2 match up with Carolina. Standing in by his locker with his trademark smile, Collins spoke optimistically about a potential return to the NFL, but will meet with a doctor in March to determine whether or not he’ll be able to suit back up with the Packers. He’ll undergo tests and scans to determine his status and then make a decision on his future.

Collins said after he gets his prognosis, he hopes to make a decision as soon as possible, so the organization knows where it stands entering the 2012 NFL Draft. “I’m confident I’m going to make it back, but this right now is very tough,” Collins said. “I never thought I’d be in this position trying to make a decision on my future. I always said I wanted to walk away from this game, but right now, once I leave here, it’s straight to business. Working out, trying to get back. Once, I get my evaluation in March, everything will be positive.”
