At some point Jaire is going to have to play. There needs to be some kind of synergy back there. I like the way we are playing with the guys we have right now. They kind of remind me of 2010. We had backups playing in the defensive backfield and they got into a groove. Still, we have a couple of rookies just about ready? to come back. That's a little scary imho. Will they be able to mesh right away? They need to be playing together. And they need to be healthy. Tough. The vikings are going to be a good test to see what we need to do. Anyway, I'm thinking Jaire should play the 1st half of the bear's game so we and he, knows where we are at. And I still believe we need to keep out of those 2nd and 3 or 4s by just letting them have the short passes.
At this point, I would rather they put Jaire on ice until the playoffs. Seems he tried to come back too early in week 11 against the Bears and reaggravated his knee. Sure, would love to have him for the Vikings, but we shouldn't need him for the Bears.
As far as him meshing with the Defense, I think that is less critical for him, than it would be for Bullard, Williams or Cooper (rookies). Even with those guys, its week 16, you should know what you are doing out there.
The Packers are guaranteed to be in the playoffs and will most likely be on the road throughout them. If I had my choice of opponents, I would want to head out to Seattle again, but they are a long shot to be in. My guess is we head to LA or Landover for the first playoff game. Winning these final 2 games would be great, but I put health of the team over winning these 2 games.
