This really sucks. It made absolutely no sense to me why he was out there. Why not put Tramon Williams on the 3-4th string punt coverage team while they're at it. Maybe even Woodson and Mathews. This was really a coaching fail. Late in the first preseason game, there was absolutely no reason the Packer's third, at worst, and most likely second best CB should have been a gunner. Was there ever an explanation of this? Not that I would buy into it anyway. He shouldn't have been out there at that point, and that's not hindsight.

Bishop has a solid backup. I'm excited for D.J. Smith. Jarrett Bush and Casey Heyward inspire little confidence to date, though I'm admittedly high on Heyward's long-term potential.

DJ Smith is a tackling machine just like Bishop - he just needs to get on the field to prove it. I see Heyward as our nickle/slot corner of the future. I also think that Woodson just might have to play more safety than was expected because Dr. J. and Levine looked a little lost out there.

The worst thing we could do right now with House is rush him back out of necessity. Just play Shields and pray he learned how to tackle a little bit in the off season. When Bush is on the field, I know big plays are about to happen; but since he picked Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl, he forever sheds the red headed step child stigma in my book.

How dare they want to see what their rookie can do

Keeping the starting CBs is MUCH more important, in my opinion. I'm not a coach though, what do I know. I have no doubt they wish he wouldn't have been out there now either.

I don't know the punt return gunner part, but Davon House absolutely should have been on the field covering WR's because he needs the experience. You don't get better by sitting on the bench. Regardless, House has been over hyped. This wasn't Tramon Williams people, relax.

Not a durable guy it sounds like. Shame. Football is a tough game. Hope he can work his way back into the starting line up eventually. For now I suppose Haywood has to step up while Shields deals with his elbow injury.

The saving grace of this defense is going to be the pass rush. If we Worthy and Perry can't add to it, we're going to be sucking ass.

We'll go 14-2, then lose the first game of the Playoffs at home.

I suppose the new practice rules may put more value on preseason games, but most of the film they look at is from padded practices. That's where the meat of talent evaluation is. By all measures, House is currently ahead of Bush, Heyward, and Shields. The decision to line him up as a gunner in the second half of an exhibition game was an error. Somebody screwed up. With that said, this creates an opportunity for Shields, Heyward, and Bush. One of them (if not two) needs to seize on this.
