I actually think that is a good fit for TD. So keeping Shepherd just because he is a "natural" slot receiver, isn't convincing enough for me.Will be interesting to see what the Packers do, but I still think Shepherd will be the easier guy of the two to get to the PS.But yes, a great question to debate over the next 8 days.</blockquote>
