CB Zackary Bowman is expected to take his place in the starting lineup if Tillman can't play. I would almost prefer to have Bowman in there instead of Tillman only because Tillman is not 100% healthy. Lets get everything out of Bowman that we can before he gets hurt again. Report
September 10, 200916 yr comment_68452 I have to ask. Who are our starting CBs? Is is official that Bowman is our starter opposite Tillman, or is Bowman the #3. Is Vasher still starting? I really don't know at this point. Still don't understand why we have not looked at Graham more. Honestly, he seemed to be our best CB in preseason (factoring Bowman and Tillman's injury) and I think by a long margin too. McBride and Vasher were between bad and awful. Not saying Graham was great, but better than the rest, and pretty good overall. Yet he never seemed to get much time at CB. Instead, the coaches kept playing him at nickel.

September 10, 200916 yr comment_68454 It's also entirely possible this is a smokescreen and they're trying to make the Packers think Tillman won't be available or that he won't be 100% so they should try to pick on him. Report
September 10, 200916 yr comment_68458 We'll need Tillman as I believe the Bears will be successful in putting up some points and stopping the run. We'll be in Nickle for much of the game if true. We don't have the horses when GB goes to 4 or 5 wides. Report
