Seems JB did alright considering he and Lee played every down on defense.

5 years in and some still want to make JB the whippng boy of the defense.

Working overtime: With Charles Woodson getting the night off, Tramon Williams playing only two series, and Sam Shields, Davon House and Brandian Ross all injured, the Packers asked veteran cornerbacks Jarrett Bush and Pat Lee to carry a heavy load in Cleveland, playing virtually the entire game.

Bush started in Woodson’s place and Lee was in on the first series as the nickel corner. After Williams departed, Bush and Lee were the primary corners the rest of the game, and they held up well.

“I was talking to ‘Wood’ and I said I hadn’t done that in a long time, played a whole game,” Lee said. “It felt pretty good.”

The only big play made against either one came in the first quarter, when Cleveland’s Josh Cribbs hauled in a 27-yard touchdown pass over Lee, who was in good position but never turned around to find the ball.

The play bothered Lee, but at the same time it’s imperative for a cornerback to have a short memory, which Lee knows.
“Today I had one play, I didn’t look back for the ball, and it probably could have been mine if I looked back,” Lee said. “But after that I played well, had a couple of tackles. I just have to show the coaches they can trust me.”

Playing a whole game following the lockout and just two weeks of training camp was a physically demanding task, but Bush and Lee prepared themselves given the injury situation.

“We’re low on corners right now,” Lee said. “We felt ready for it. Me and ‘JB’ talked about getting ready. We had to buckle down because we were going to be out there all day.”

Yeah I would love to see the source on this as well, as I seem to remember the CB coach(Joe Whitt) saying Bush recognized the play from film study, and played it perfectly.... Sort of the opposite of a "blown assignment".

I think Bush is okay playing in the flat. I still don't have much faith in him on the perimeter, especially downfield. I'd love to see him gain the skills to be a true CB, though. Maybe it is happening. I just need to see it happen in a game.

Yeah, Greg, Bush and Lee did not appear to be playing a solid game to me, even against 2nd + stringers. It wasn't absolutely horrible, but they need to play much better.
