Week 11 (@ Minnesota Vikings):

Wow that was one helluva game defensively with brilliant playcalls and outstanding execution. That front 7 played out of it's friggin mind this week applying pressure on Favre. I don't think he knew which way was up and which way was down after some of those early licks he took from Cullen and BJ. Dom called a great game yet again playing a good combination of man and zone behind it. Favre found some holes in our zones, but was unable to capitalize several times with pressure in his face. If our pressure does not get home this week, I think it's a completely different ball game.

My Coverage Player of the Week:
Week 1: Tramon Williams
Week 2: Sam Shields
Week 3: Nick Collins
Week 4: Charles Woodson
Week 5: Tramon Williams
Week 6: Nick Collins
Week 7: Nick Collins
Week 8: Charles Woodson
Week 9: Charles Woodson/Tramon Williams
Week 11: Tramon Williams

Tramon Williams only continues to get better each and every week. The numbers really do speak for themselves. Of the 5 times he was targeted, he came up with the only pass that didn't hit the ground in his direction. Listening to his locker room interview after the game, Williams attributes the pick to film study. He read the combination route the Vikings love to run with Shiancoe running the out route and the Z receiver running the slant behind him. Tramon quickly read the out route, his head turned once more to Favre, and as he saw the wind up, he made his break. He also applied the hit of the game to separate a pass.

Was I surprised at how often Sam Shields was assigned to Sidney Rice? Quite honestly, yes. The Packers don't generally play match-ups like that, so I'm sure the Vikings saw a weakness in Shields' game they wanted to exploit with Sidney Rice. He does give up the most yards per game of our trio of cornerbacks, so it's hard to fault the Vikings for trying to test the well. He allowed 56 yards on 3 completions and one other 20 yard completion over the top, in front of the safety in a 2-deep zone. Perfect pitch and catch, so I didn't discredit Shields for playing with an underneath shade. Still, he held his own and held tight coverage for much of the afternoon against the Vikings' best receiver, even if he was coming off injury. He was fractions of a second away from breaking up 2 of his 3 completions. I think he could be exploited for some big plays now and then, but the way he's playing the game right now (taking chances, trying to read routes, looking into the backfield) will help his game SO much in the near future. Basically, he's playing the way Charles and Tramon do and with experience, he could definitely jump up to their level in coverage.

Outside of Woodson's big strip and his typical tackles in the run game and outside of his assignment, Woodson was relatively quiet today. He allowed only 9 yards, a great day for any corner.

Our linebackers did a nice job of finishing plays in front of them, aside from an embarrassing missed tackle by Zombo. I'm sure heard about that one in the film meeting the next day. In fact, all of our linebackers do a great job of getting depth in their zone drops forcing Favre into making more difficult throws behind them and in front of the safeties.


Quick Cum. #'s:
Woodson: 22/44 (50%), 259 yards, 5.89 YPA, 2 TD, 2 INT, 64.5 QB Rating

That hit by Tramon Williams was one of the biggest hits of the year by any Packer player--and he's just a little CB. The physical style of Woodson has definitely rubbed off on him.

I wonder if Capers put Shields on Rice because he thought Rice would not be up to speed. Rice played better than expected, so maybe that wasn't the right strategy, but still, Shields did not give up the big play. As Cliff Christl/Eric Baranczyk wrote, "Sam Shields gets fooled, but he doesn't get beat."

Heh. Can't argue with those stats. Williams was the only guy that the Vikings threw 2+ passes against that allowed nothing. And he got the lone INT.

That INT was a stupid move on Favre though. He looked like a rookie. Looked at the guy all the way. It was obvious he'd throw there. Great job by Williams to exploit it.

In defense of Shields though, Favre and Rice have a strong chemistry. He kept Rice out of the end zone. For me, that's a decent day.

Oh definitely. Shields didn't have a "bad" day by any means. He received very little help and it was obvious Rice was still Favre's top target. As Greg C. quoted, "Sam Shields gets fooled, but he doesn't get beat." Absolutely love that quote because it's so true.
