[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 173523, member: 196"] I assume we can all agree that Lionel Washington knows a bit about playing CB in the NFL. After all he has been in the league for the past 24 years -- 15 of them as a CB and 9 as a CB coach. Greg Bedard recently (this week) asked Lionel some questions about the nickel CB position and Bush and Blackmon -- what follows are his answers: Q: [b]Is Jarrett Bush having trouble making plays on the ball? [/b] A: [b][i]What play are you talking about? The touchdown? The guy made a great play on the touchdown. I thought he went up for the catch and the guy went over and made an excellent play. I thought he was in excellent position. Sometimes thing like that happen, it's football. He was in great position and Rice made an excellent play.[/i][/b] Q: [b]How is Bush's confidence?[/b] A: [b][i]He didn't lose confidence at all. I thought he responded well. Came back on the sideline and was trying to figure out what happened. He continued to compete. That's the thing about him. He went right back out on the field and the lined back up again in the press position and competed. That's all you can do. You know if you play that position you're going to get beat at times. It all depends on how you respond and I thought he responded in a positive way. He wasn't negative, he didn't get down on himself. Everything was positive.[/i][/b] [img]http://i.packers.com/pg/bush_jarrett_2007/photo2.jpg[/img] Q: [b]How much is Will Blackmon's thumb holding him back?[/b] A: [b][i]I don't think it counts against him but it plays a part in the way he plays also. He's a real aggressive guy that likes using his hands at the line of scrimmage; that's the way we teach it here. But Blackmon, whenever he's out there he plays well. Six or seven plays he was out there he got his hands on guys and made a tackle or had great coverage. It's about him getting out and being able to play some.[/i][/b] A: [b]Would you like to see him out there?[/b] Q: [b][i]Right now I think Jarrett is doing a great job. If the time presented itself for Blackmon to get in, he would do a good job. Right now he just hasn't had the opportunity to go out and play. It's just waiting for that opportunity.[/i][/b] [img]http://i.packers.com/pg/blackmon_will_2007/photo6.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
