From what I read the Packers broke out the dime defense with 2 DTs, 2 OLBers, 1 ILB, 6 DBs which got Stokes on the field more.

Also putting King and Alexander in the slot at times to open it up for Stokes.

Stokes absolutely has earned more playing time. Though I think the WRs have also dropped some passes before he's hit them and people are getting excited that he forced that, when really it was just a drop, that being said give him credit for being close enough to time it well and he has absolutely knocked some passes down.

Though I think Stokes also gave up a TD with bad communications as I think he was playing man while others were playing zone. But stuff happens and he's not used to being in there.

Like Beast said, they were in dime a lot so they both could play. I think I heard that was 23% of the plays. 2nd most to nickle. Alexander, Amos and Savage were also out there for 57 plays. Sullivan was the odd man out. He was on the field on 18 plays or 23% of the time.

edit- Henry Black was the only other db to play. 2 plays 4%.
