It sounds like these two guys are taking full advantage of Shields sucking it up so far in training. Bush won't be lining up with the #1 very much longer, cause it sounds like House is going to snag the job.

My prediction is that base will be

Tramon Williams - CB
Davon House - CB

Burnnett - FS
Wood - SS

Nickel

Tramon - outside
Davon - outside
Wood - slot

Burnett - FS
Dr.J. - SS

Dime Package

Tramon - outside
Davon - outside
Wood - slot
Hayward - inside

Burnett - FS
Dr. J - SS

Bush and Shields will still make the team but they'll have to be special teams aces. Hayward doesn't have the top end speed to play outside. From what I've read on him, he should have gone to cover 2 defense, but Uncle Ted probably thought he could handle the slot and playing the tight ends.

It appears to me that they are rotating through the DBs. Fist it was Bush, next was House, soon it will be Hayward and then Shields again.

Shields had a pretty good day Tuesday.

It looks like they haven't really looked seriously at who is going to start at CB yet. They seem to be getting everyone ready like they will be a starter.

Which isn't a bad idea. It helps the depth when your back ups are ready to be starters.

It also gives them an incentive to work harder. If they have a reasonable chance to be a starter, they will prepare like one. Conversely, if there is a reasonable chance someone else could take that starter spot from them, they might fight harder to win that spot.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

long way to go before opening day. I won't be surprised is Sam doesn't get a lot of time on the field. He is still learning the position. House and Hayward have many years of experience on him. But he will sort things out a little at at ime. He will get his confidence up and start to play tougher. (Hopefully.)

I wouldn't be surprised if special teams are the difference between keeping Shields and letting him go. He's a terrible tackler and that's heading up his downward spiral right now. He needs a big preseason.

Great thread....

I am personally very high on Davon's upside as a solid contributor to the Packers "D" this year. I would love to see him make make an impact.

I also despise, and feel serious contempt for any player on "D" who continues a drive by the opposition due to a stupid penalty. House is a worry to me due to his aggression. The fact is he is kind of nuts when it comes to going overboard in extra physical abuse against anyone running a route against him.

This is something you have to love and cherish in a player... But it can be a weakness when the flags start flying after a 3rd down stop.

I hope Dom, and Chuck and the Vets can sort of reel the kid in and teach him, guide him, and show him how to channel that aggression into succsess with out flags flying.

Also.... It would be great to see him take an interception to his own last name

Shields has been disappointing, I hope he can turn it around. I had land still have high hopes for him. It's great to see House making a jump. Now if Heyward can be a solid backup his rookie year we'll be in the best shape we have been in some time at CB. Next I would hope McMillain can contribute by mid year.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Martha Careful (16h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (18h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
