Or maybe it just says that the kid is really talented, which he is.

No, he's not.

He's fast, and he appears to have good instincts. But I wouldn't use the word talented. Not yet.

Having him as our nickel CB scares the hell out of me, since that means he'll be on the field for more than half of our defensive snaps.

I'm really hoping Ted Thompson can swing a last-minute trade like we did for Grant...

Yeah... he's so talented that he somehow flew under the radar of all 32 teams on draft day. Or maybe no one wanted corners this year... who knows?

You don't think him playing only one year of corner had something to do with that? Look, the kid is raw, but he's improved a ton since the beginning of camp and has a chance to be a player, IMO.

I just don't want him returning punts. But seriously, he is so very raw, and in time he may become quite the player. May being the key word.

Fine. Let Blackmon return punts and have Shields return KOs.

I love speed. Wish we had more of it on our team, so I'm hoping he makes the team in some fashion.

As for CBs, how many CBs were good straight out of college. CBs, WRs, and QBs are almost never good in their first few years. They're not like RBs that you can just throw them into the pros and they'll flourish.

If Shields could catch then he might be able to return but he can't catch punts or kicks well...

As for the Eagles' offense some are talking about I say attack their weakness.... their weakness is that their QB and their OL haven't been on the same page as far as where the protection is going to be... so throw some confusing looks at them and make it unclear who is blocking who...

maybe make it look like your gonna rush 6 and then only rush the 4 outside guys which would leave the center most likely confused what to do...

I say that because you can easily field a dropped KO. If you drop a punt, it's almost always a turnover.

well he turned over a KO already this preseason after letting it drop and didn't easily field it so I'm not buying that.

I see a lot of mixed opinions on Shields here. I think the guy could likely impress with more experience under his belt. Sorry to say, but the Pack NEEDS more depth in the secondary to really put the icing on the cake. Most of us are not feeling the best with the lack of Harris and Bigby, but we will have to hope our guys can make some plays and hopefully prove us all wrong.

I say give Shields a chance. I mean really, there aren't many (good) options at this point. All of us football fans know that good CBs are tough to come by, and with him showing some potential right off the bat makes me curious.

I'll take Shields over Bush right now in the dark. (in the poker sense)

Don't think that Blackmon idea is going to work out too well. As of right now it's Nelson and Tramon for both returns. Nelson makes sense, safe but not very dangerous to take it all the way. Williams on the other hand scares the shit out of me, and it's not the returning part.
We think were short on Db's now, try our top 5 without Williams. I'd rather try Jackson, hell i'd try anyone that isn't a corner and doesn't have the initials AR.
We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
