Sounds like Shields will be getting a shot at nickel CB against Manning as Underwood and Lee haven't played up to the coaches standards and they want to get a better feel of how good/bad Shields is.

Also I'm wondering if they (Underwood, Lee and Shileds) will all get a shot in nickel against Manning or just Shields or how they will handle it.

From what I remember they're gonna be rotating the nickel corners out every play.. So each guy should get a rep every three plays, at least for the first half.

I thought people were crazy thinking a guy who was yanked from WR and put at CB because he had trouble catching would make a good return guy. Maybe some time in the future, but he would have to learn to catch.

I always thought he would shine at CB because of his instincts and unbelievable speed. He said in an interview the fastest he ran was a 4.18. The two things you can't teach, instincts and speed. The rest he can learn.

It would be cool if he works out.

I hope Shields makes the roster but I don't want him on the field at CB this season. The guy is loaded with speed and potential but I dread to think what our D will be like if we have to rely on him.

A year learning the position (he only switched from WR in his last of college right?) and he might be able to do something next year.

I think the biggest statement isn't that Shields will get his shot, it's that Lee and Underwood aren't playing well enough. That will hurt even when Harris returns.

---

It's possibly less that Underwood/Lee aren't meeting potential and more that Shields has come on such a long way they'd be foolish not to take a look at how far his potential will go right now.

I think both Lee and Underwood aren't that bad, but certainly need this training camp and preseason to learn from mistakes. Perhaps people expected too much of Underwood after some glowing comments. But it would be a HUGE boost to have Al Harris back on the team.

I've always loved Pat Lee, but we were still in the bump and run coverage system when we drafted him, and that's a perfect fit for him. I don't know how he'll do in a zone system, but I imagine he won't play up to his second round draft status.

good luck sam!!!...iti s up to u right now

I think the Packers are trying to do two things. Get a good guage of each players ability and motivate them.

---

I really hope he makes the team, just because we could use more speed. I don't know how honest the 4.18 time is, but if it's not exaggerated, that's freakish speed.

Just wish he could learn to hold on to the ball as he'd be a sick returner.
