The secondary, I'm worried

Guys I need some words because I'm very worried about the secondary.

Who is in my opinion our best cover CB (House) is injured and it seems to be serious enough.
Shields is playing really bad, what's wrong with him? He is being too Shields, he doesn't cover, just floats around and hopes to get to the ball based on his speed but is not working.

Burnett is playing LB, Ha Ha has some goods and lows and I've never liked Hayward.

On the good side Hyde is a smart player and I like how we are using him and Tramon is having a good season.

Please tell me we'll be ok.

The D keeps showing up. I can't say the same for the O.

We'll see what happens against Megatron, our best guy to cover him is House but he is injured. Shields and Tramon are not a good match.

Casey Hayward is one of the top 10 rated cornerbacks on ProFootballFocus.com

8.4 Hayward with 386 snaps
-0.1 House with 411 snaps

Hayward 3 INT's with only 2 passes defensed and gave up 2 touchdowns
House 1 INT but has team leading 8 passes defensed and gave up 3 touchdowns

Sam Shields is a -5.1 but his speed is why I'd rather him on Calvin Johnson.

Shields is too fast, and that's a problem because he is used to playing 5-10 yards away from his mark just because he knows he can get to the ball in time. He also peaks into the backfield a lot.

I hope you are righ!

Of the teams we'll likely meet in the playoffs, the only teams with top caliber WRs are Dallas and Detroit, and odds are pretty moderate that we won't face them. Not concerned about the secondary.

Also why haven't you like Hayward?

Also I disagree with the idea we won't face Dallas.
Loser of the Lions @ Packers game most likely has to travel to Dallas, so if the Packers lose they most likely WOULD face Dallas. And if the Packers win? Then there will be a Lions @ Dallas game and IF Dallas won, they would travel to face the Packers.

So I think there is a good chance the Packers see Dallas at some point of the playoffs.

Keep in mind that Tony Romo has never won a playoff game. Not to mention the Packers beat them last year with Matt Flynn as their starting QB. I know none of that hardly matters, but I'm really not worried about Dallas.

I'd be more worried about Atlanta than I would about Dallas.
