GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Two years ago, the Green Bay Packers started the season with veteran Jarrett Bush as their right cornerback. After an uneven performance in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, he was benched in favor of Sam Shields.

Could veteran linebacker Brad Jones meet the same fate after struggling in Thursday's opener against the Seattle Seahawks?

Or could other defensive adjustments be in the plans after just one week?

I watched his entire interview and Someone asked him about Brad Jones. Obviously he won't throw someone under the bus, but he said they want to run different personnel groupings to evaluate talent.

In large part I agree that you'd think they'd figure it out by now, but with so much vanilla and individual evaluation in preseason games, and such a shortened and watered down training camp, you do have fewer opportunities to effectively evaluate as an nfl coach

Keeping it bland in the preseason sounds like they aren't taking advantage of all the tools at their disposal to get the right players in the right places. People like to rag on the preseason, but there's more value to it than some people think.

Fact is, Seahawks had preseason too.

Apparently it was enough to evaluate THEIR guys.

Didn't Lombardi say that everyone knew they were coming with the sweep, but the Packers were unstoppable anyway because of how well they executed it? Schemes don't change all that much. Execution is critical.
