[QUOTE="Bagadeez04, post: 451763, member: 2104"] HE will stay on another year...it's almost a lock unless he is just butt-awful in camp. Keep in mind, the guy's only experience at CB was his last year at MIami where they told him to "cover that guy" all year. He knew next to nothing coming out. His rookie year Capers kept it simple...essentially doing the same thing. Keeping him limited to passing downs and playing primarily man coverage. Last season he was asked to step up and be an "every down CB" in nickle formations (or variations of) and had problems dissecting run-pass, tackling, and just playing the position in general. It's really understandable IMO. This year he will make the team. It's his 3rd year in the pros and coaches will expect to see him a matured player in 2012. If he continues to struggle, the playing time he was alloted in years past due to sheer lack of talent at CB, will be given to guy's like Heyward and House who can't be much worse than he was in 2011. A guy like Heyward has all the intangibles that Shields will probably never possess, and House has got to be eager to make a splash after a year learning the system. This is it for Shields in Green Bay...if he has another year like his last, he could very well be cut mid-season, or released next summer to make room for a rookie/s. [/QUOTE]
