    They both flashed pretty well their rookie year. Enough the Packers (and everyone else) let Hayward go. With Shields, Randall, and Rollins, the CBs looked set for another five years. Then concussion and injury/regression.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    It really is a bit confusing. Randall, at least, looked like he was going to be a real player. Now he's a dollar short and a day late.

    ^ Nice trash TV reference.

    I think its mostly technique and goes mainly to the lack of familiarity of the DBs with zone coverage techniques.

    The most baffling coverage of all is the trailing by too far coverage on a crossing route (this is man to man) and the failure to have anyone on the other side of the field to clock the crossing route. This might be skill of receiver avoid the other defenders, but I also think its the effect of threatening to send six pass rushers most downs.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    So...(cue Bretsky)...if the Packers had drafted TJ Watt the pass coverage would be better?

    It might, but he has to be healthy for that to work.

    He looks legit and pass rush always helps, but I am still kinda stunned how Fackrell looks in games versus the preseason. I think he might figure it out. Its weird to see a two gapping OLB on a pass rush.

    I find his approach funny, but the rest was coincidence.
