[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 512658, member: 9033"] Number one, I don't think anyone foresaw McMillian playing that poorly. He never looked that bad last year. That being said, I can understand why the Packers didn't see the need to sign more safeties since Burnett has been a model of consistency and health over the past two seasons. As for him playing so many snaps on Sunday, the packers didn't really have a whole lot of other options. I mean, Bush played strong safety at times on Sunday, that's how bare the cupboard was. People also need to remember that the team was missing one of their best corners and their best safety. That's 2 of the 4 best secondary players on the team. I will say that after an offseason in which Capers admitted that Shields is a terrific bump-n-run corner it made no sense to have him playing off the receiver for the entire game and in zone coverage. Shields gave up a lot of yards to Bolding on Sunday and I've got to think much of that is due to him not jamming him at the line; one of Shields' best attributes is recovery speed, why does he need to line up ten yards off a slower receiver like Boldin? Boldin found the holes in our zone D all game. Give the corners a chance to match up with him one-on-one. [/QUOTE]
