This has been his downfall for the last four games. If he's hurt, replace him with Rodgers and play the WR's close and not give them so much cushion on third down especially. This has been the secondarys downfall in all of our losses.

I see your point, but I'm going to have to place our defensive woes on our d-line and not on our secondary. You yourself once said that games are won and lost in the trenches. Do you think our defense is winning games in the trenches? I sure don't.

Our secondary can't cover for more than 4-5 seconds and no secondary should be asked to do that. We flat out can't get pressure on opposing quarterbacks and when we leave corners on islands and we don't get pressure, we get disastrous results.

Walt Harris is better player than people give him credit for. He had two really bad games (against the Giants and Bucs) where he was missing tackles and was poor in coverage. But, overall, he's a solid nickelback.
