I was actually wondering if it'd be better to put Jordy Nelson out there in the nickel.

Bush actually didn't have big gaffes this game, he was generally tight in coverage. He has the exceptional athleticism needed to succeed in a zone scheme - I think he can hold his own if needed.
Jordy is in no way better suited than Bush to be our Nickel. I do expect the Packers to use their open roster spot to go out and sign a CB - we desperately need one. Either that, or switch Derrik Martin back to CB (*shudders*)....
I'm still holding out hope its a knee sprain for Al, although from the initial looks of the pain he was in, I fear its much worse.

Was exaggerating a litte, of course.
It's just that he shouldn't be on the field as a nickel back. I can barely justify the time he's getting on the field as a dime back, apart from injuries.
He's just not good enough to play against the third receiver of most teams. I mean, he'll be ok against the Lions, most likely, so if Harris isn't out for too long, it'd be ok.
I don't want him out there against the Ravens, though. Can you imagine Woodson being on Heap, Williams on Mason and Bush on Clayton? Switch Woodson and Bush and I'm still not sure he can take a somewhat good TE.
Ahmad Carroll has the athleticism to play in a zone defense, as well. He surely didn't do to well for the Jets. Never even made the field.
