Packers Release Ahmad Carroll;CB for Browns?

[Smooth]

GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- A tough night has cost cornerback Ahmad Carroll his roster spot.

The Green Bay Packers on Tuesday released the 2004 first-round pick, who struggled a night earlier in a 31-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Against the Eagles, Carroll was beaten for a 45-yard touchdown by wide receiver Greg Lewis in the third quarter. He also was called for pass interference and a defensive holding penalty later in the second half, setting up two more Philadelphia touchdowns.

Selected 25th overall in 2004 out of Arkansas, Carroll played in 34 games with 28 starts for the Packers, recording three interceptions.

Yes this guy got pretty beat up, but he does have some talent.. I don't know if you guys are familiar with him at all, but he was a college track star in college..

IMHO, he is better than Holley or Brown at this point.. It doesn't hurt to bring him in.. He's probably out to prove the Packers wrong by releasing him..

Here's ESPN's Scouting Report on him:

He is a former college sprinter who has exceptional speed and he has the ability to go to a second gear and make up for any mistake in coverage. He has very good lateral movement. He excels in press coverage where he can get in a receivers face and jam him at the line of scrimmage. He shows good awareness and good instincts in zone coverage and has a great break on the ball in the air. He has adequate height to go up and battle for the ball in a jump ball situation. He shows that he can break down and make a tackle in the open field and he clubs up with his arms and he is a sure tackler. He occasionally loses the ball on deep routes and despite his speed gets beaten on a deep route.

He was rated 31st among all NFL CB's...

I would endorse that signing for the Browns. He may even make Santurdio look like a first round pick.

Yeah, because the Packers are so deep and talented they can just afford to get rid of guys...

Definently. The guy has some talent or he wouldnt have been picked that high.

At this point, Holly is our only decent backup. He did pretty well in Oakland, I hate Brown with a passion and can't wait til he is no longer on the team.

Give the guy a shot, it can't hurt.

Guys get cut all the time...whether it be in team conflict, not grasping the system, or other causes. One guy may not fit one system, but may thrive in another system. You see it all the time with LBs and DBs.

We cut Courtney Brown and Kenard Lang and they are both starters in Denver. You can go on and on and on about guys getting released, but it certainly wouldnt hurt to take a look at the kid.

sign him...hes better than anyone else we could get without having to give someone up(obviously we'd have to cut someone, but thats not the point)...its a no brainer

our top 3 corner backs are hurt...the rest we have are scrubs...carolina is going to throw all over us..its gonna be a massacre

I hope baxters boob feels better, and he can play. i think he will be ok aganist johnson.

If bodden plays we have a chance. if not, then someone needs to step up.

on offence, if are OL gives charlie time, with Ewards, winslow, joe, heidan, northcutt, i think we will be fine.

If browns somehow pulled this off, I think teams and fans would be like '' damn the browns really can play.'' we went this game more then carolina.

browns win 20-17. BOOK IT!!!!!!!

That Baba guy will probably just go on their practice squad until he's needed again.
