Green Bay Packers:Aaron Rodgers might have gotten some eye rolls when he compared Rasul Douglas to a certain Hall of Fame defensive back, saying: "He reminds me a lot, in the deepest respect, of Charles Woodson. He has incredible ball skills. He baits you at practice. He has the competitive fire that Charles did." But as if to keep Douglas humble, Rodgers went after him a few times in practice Thursday. He threw a crosser to Allen Lazard and then pulled off the play fake of all play fakes on a rollout and hit Lazard again. Both times Douglas was in coverage. "Sometimes I'll put myself out of position to get in position just because of him," Douglas said. "Most of the time, it doesn't work. But you've got to give it a shot." Douglas, who led the Packers last season with five interceptions despite not joining the team until October, is doing something else Woodson did -- move to the slot position. -- Rob Demovsky
