stats are wrong FWIW

stats are wrong FWIW

Which are wrong?
I will correct them then.

Edit: Nevermind, I corrected them myself. Those were the stats before the last game against the Vikings, weren´t they?

[Berliner]

at least some of the injured players are back.

[...] On the bright side for Green Bay, several players returned from injury after the bye week. Wide receiver Jordy Nelson, cornerback Sam Shields, tight end Andrew Quarless and fullback John Kuhn all participated Monday, though Kuhn appeared to be back on a limited basis. Tackle Derek Sherrod was back on an apparent limited basis as well. The former first-round pick began the season on the physically unable to perform list.

The signing of So'oto could mean that Matthews (hamstring) will be missing some time. McCarthy didn't provide a timetable for the outside linebacker Monday. The only other options at the position are Erik Walden, Dezman Moses and Frank Zombo. [...]

You know if Shields is back for this game I am pretty pumped to see our secondary Hayward playing like a beast House is holding his own and shields was doing well before the injury

Where does Shields fit in? Does he move back to the #2 or does he have to prove himself again?

I think he's lost his #2 job. We need tackling and someone that is going to be feisty around the ball rather than some guy that can run fast.

Look at the Lions receiving stat-line for the Vikes game. They had two guys that could catch the ball.. Johnson and Bell.

C. Johnson 12 207 17.3 1 50 13

That's going to be Williams and a cover 2 safety.

J. Bell 7 44 6.3 0 12 8

Is a RB... so that is out of the backfield and covered mostly by LB's or a safety on 3rd down.

T. Young 4 35 8.8 1 16 7

The #2 guy is going to cover Young. Who do you think they'll trust to stick on the shifty Young that sometimes has trouble catching the ball? Hayward... who will be in his face even if he manages to get some separation.

B. Pettigrew 3 32 10.7 1 16 9

A TE. Hopefully Pettigrew keeps on stinking it up.

Win and we are back in first place in the division!!!!!

Oh I think it is Hayward's job to lose now but, the next question is do we sub in Shields over House? see that is what excites me we have 3 players that are playing well. If Hayward struggles in the game we move him back to the nickel and move up House/Hayward we actually have depth in the secondary that we can trust not a Bush or Underwood or even when Lee was here

Yeah those are my thoughts as well. I didn't think he would leap frog Hayward but I still didn't want to disregard it. In the Packers staff's eyes he might be more proven than a guy like House. Even though I still like House because he's more physical. Lions have some speed but Leshoure is a handful to bring down. Tough decision for Capers to make. I'm sure he'll base a lot of the judgement off of what he sees in practice this week.
