It seemed that towards the last part of first half and through second half that Eric Stokes was on the field more often. His guy also wasn't really able to catch the ball. I thought Stokes looked decent and played better in the second half. Even knocking a ball out of the WR's hands on what surely would have been a catch.

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.

Edit, Kevin King was pushed off on a pass. I forget which one, I think it was a TD.

He's absolutely earned more playing time. There were miscues but Stokes didn't seem overwhelmed or completely lost on the field. He's gonna take some lumps vs better opponents but he's a rookie so you play him and let him learn.

I am not sure he can be out there much more than he was. Stokes was on the field 44/57 or 77%. King was out there 56/57 or 98%. They moved Alexander to the slot and put Stokes and King outside.
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%.

I think it was early in the preseason when I said Stokes would take over about week 3. Later I gave King more credit than he is due and thought Stokes may take a little longer to get up to speed. In reality it was week 2.
