SAN DIEGO -- First, it was Brett Favre saying the Packers have an abundance of talent, more than he's seen in years. Now it's Green Bay's other side of the ball -- notably Al Harris -- joining the chorus.

"Just watch," the Packers' cornerback said. "We're going to be something to see."
As Harris stood in the Packers' locker room, he nodded to a teammate getting dressed nearby. It was cornerback Charles Woodson, who just completed a debut with the Packers where his name barely was mentioned.
That's always a good thing for a defensive back, and in Charles Woodson the Packers might have found a very good thing. At his best, he's one of the top cornerbacks in the game; at his worst, he's a costly spectator, riding the bench with another injury.
On this evening, Woodson was the shutdown corner again -- breaking up a third-down pass when San Diego's Philip Rivers tried to hit tight end Ryan Krause on a short crossing pattern. It was Charles Woodson as you remember him and Charles Woodson as the Packers envision him.
