Shields has shown he has great potential at gunner on punts and good potential at CB.

Bush is more ready NFL ready but doesn't seem to have a lot of potential, and he's usually in good position but QBs have throw right at him or right next to him with him in good coverage and he hasn't knocked it down and the WR got the ball.

I'll take the good potential guy over the looks good until the ball get near him guy (who also gets a lot of penalties).

Nether one can return so that shouldn't factor it other the coaches for keep putting one of them out there. That's on the coaches not the player, also there is a back WR who probably won't make the team that i read was very good at returns in college. I forget his name but if true I wonder why he hasn't been out there.

I'd say Bush is more valuable at this exact moment than Shields is as a CB. The question is, do you stick with Bush, where you know exactly what you're going to get, or cut him loose and bank on Shields improving significantly at CB? Just because someone's a rookie doesn't mean he's going to improve.

If Shields makes the roster, it's as a 5th CB at best. And that's if Harris starts in the PUP list. Shields has loads of potential, and probably won't be active for most gamedays. But I still think he's definitely worth keeping because of his potential.

I vote for keeping Shields. He has too much potential with too little coaching and experience at CB. Investing the time they have with Barbre and Giacomoni and not doing the same with Shields would make no sense to the point of stupidity. He has shown ability at CB and has a huge upside. If he can play corner who give a rats a$$ if he can return kicks, which might still come. He'll never make it through waivers much less the practice squad.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

There was a young receiver who fielded a punt late in the game, and the announcers said he had done it in college. I forget who it was, though, and I don't want to start guessing. He fielded the ball well and he looked like he knew what he was doing, though it was not a long return, as I recall.

I could see him making another team's roster, but is it worth holding onto him in the chance that he develops? I'm not sure. He seems to be capable as a defensive back. Capable enough I suppose.

I'm thinking this guy is a wonderful athlete from what I've read, but he seems to have in music what's called "stage fright."

Maybe a year in the PS, and a little experience under his belt and he won't be so raw. Would love to have someone of this talent.

If not, it's not like it's a waste of a roster spot. If he pans out next year after spending a year on the PS, great.

I see more gain than loss here.

Keep Shields on the roster but keep him far far away from returning kicks. He just can't do it and it is hurting his name more than it is helping because the kid has some good looks as a DB.

Shields might of just gotten his spot. Or at least if he doesn't screw up in the next two games on STs he might of just earned his spot on the 53 man roster.

"Sam Shields has moved onto the No. 1 kickoff team. He replaces Jarrett Bush, who worked with the 2's. Underwood also on the 1's for D. Lee."

He has way too much potential to make it to PS. I think he had something like 5-6 offers before he came to GB.

The one thing that makes me think he should stay around is that he has instincts. He has a feel for the game. That is so very important.

Instincts are the reason Bishop is not a starter. He doesn't have any. That is why they can't trust him not to screw up. He has the physical skills and the attitude, but he lacks a feel for the game.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (20h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (20h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (20h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (21h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (22h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (22h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (22h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (22h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (22h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (22h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (22h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (22h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (23h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (23h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (23h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (23h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (23h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (23h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (23h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (23h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (23h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (23h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (23h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
