Do you have faith in McClain?

[juliosantos]

I think hes an upgrade over tillman , tillman wasn't the same as he was early in the season because of his acl 

[Davidson Deac II]

He could do ok against Seattle or Washington.  Might struggle against Green Bay, and if we get to play Arizona, he will likely get abused.  But then, so would Tillman. We will need to put quite a few points on the board to beat Arizona, but that was true before Tillman went down.

I have faith in him, but why not play T.Williams & Boston? If we shuffle and rotate our guys, can teams really focus on just McClain? If we continue just keeping J.No on one side I say its pretty damn easy to avoid him. I just don't want Colin lining up in the slot, if he's in should be for run support and blitzing purposes only. We need Mcdermott/Ron (he needs to put his input in too cause contrary to what those believe Ron lets his coordinators handle majority of the game-planning, calling, and scheme) to get creative come playoff time

Who ever lines up opposite Norman will get tested often. That's how it has been all season. I trust in Ron to get him ready for game day.

Why would he struggle against GB?  Their WR's are struggling to get open and Rodgers is not seeing the field well.

Well, I said might.  IMO, Green Bay's problems stem mostly from poor offensive line play.  But our dline hasn't been great the last half of the season, so I see a possibility that if Green Bay's line can protect Rogers better than it has recently, he might be able to find open receivers, and whomever Mcclain is covering would be the most likely target. 

 

Of course, I could be wrong.  He could perform great, or the dline could pick it up and spend a lot of time in Green Bay's backfield.  Or the offense could put up 50 and make Mcclain's play largely irrelevant.    Who knows.

Terrell McClain? 

 

 

Fug yeah.

Not this again

[pantherclaw]

Not worried about the secondary.

I also expect our experience at DE to step it up in the playoffs. 

[crushcard1976]

Lou Young was brought up from practice squad guess  play behind  norman and mcclain

[Kuech the Sneak]

Nice to see him make a big play at the end of the game to maybe boost his confidence. If it wasn't playoff time id like to see what lou young can do, may be too risky right now

[Catweisers]

Man, he was all over the place when he got in game.  found good article on him.
