This could be our DBs biggest test so far, and they haven't looked as good as expected (other than maybe Alexander), so this could potentially be a big shoot out...

That being said, the pass rushers might be licking their chops to potential get Clark back and be let loose and pass rush more often.

PFF (not perfect) backs this up, with Alexander being the only DB getting a lot of playing time with a grade above 60.5 ... with Sullivan getting the 60.2 grade stopping me from simply saying 60.

As a bigger guy, Jones seems like a guy we should be able to pound at the line (i.e. no free release) and make him work the hammy extra hard.

I doubt the Packers defense is going to change up their normal operations, but I'd honestly practing it some and would consider it... as quickness gives King more troubles, and while Alexander can be awesome, you can only do so much about Jones being 5" taller, 20 LBers heavier and more physical if the pass is perfect.
