Kentrell Brice has rare speed (4.44 in 40) for a Safety and a knack for the big hit. Do you feel comfortable with Brice filling in for Morgan Burnett?

I went on You Tube yesterday and watched the full game , GB @ Dallas. I was impressed with Kentrell Brice. It did not appear that he had been able to practice and learn/get in sync. with the GB Defense, yet he displayed good closing speed and tackled physically. He may contribute more against Atlanta where the GB Secondary will be severely tested. I wish him and the Packer's D the best of luck.

Not a Burnett fan but would rather have him vs. Atlanta. Brice has a high ceiling but he's barely off his floor right now.

His closing speed and willingness to initiate contact is among the best you'll ever see in combination. Polamalu played like that.

Perhaps, his speed will help vs. a very fast Falcons receiving corps. Brice on the field puts your head on a swivel because he's going to deck you. Maybe, he gets in their heads a bit. There aren't many guys like Brice out there and certainly not in that weak division Atlanta plays in as far as secondaries go.

Would prefer Morgan but am okay with our headhunter out there.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Has anyone heard rumors about Burnett's injury? It was the 2nd question in MM's presser yesterday and it seemed to catch him off guard, he was really bumbling through the question. Made me think it was something somewhat serious but he didn't know how to sugar coat it like with Jordy last week to make ATL think he might play.

No. Burnett is a better player. Brice is pretty good for an UDFA. He is has a long way to go and a lot to learn.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

I really don't like Morgan Burnett, I think he would be a backup in most teams in the NFL.
So if he can't go then Brice is fine to me, the kid has lapses but he plays with heart and hits hard.

I understand that Burnett does many "invisible" things and is allegedly a key part of our defense, but the truth is that the defense is not really stellar with him, he rarely makes an impact play and HaHa is playing bad because of him.
