Nick Barnett (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know if he started and whether he played outside the base package?

Saw a bunch of Chillar in there when I was watching.

 
Barnett started but he was spelled heavily. They are still working him back gradually. To give you an example, AJ Hawk played a bunch of snaps in the nickle package - and once again proved that he is a liability in coverage.

In a couple of games Barnett should be back full time.

Chillar and Bishop aren't going away
I did not see Bishop at all last night. Chillar played heavily for Barnett in the end and had a great game. What happens when Barnett is back healthy though. Who will end up sitting. Problem with these 2 are there are 2 nice guys in front of them.
 
The Packers held Barnett to a snap count. When in the game, he played on all downs. Brandon Chillar rotated over when he was given a break.

I'd expect Chillar to play in the nickel and spell Barnett on every third series or so for the next month or so. If Chillar plays extremely well, that rotation could continue deep into the season. Eventually, however, it'll be a Hawk/Chillar platoon, with Barnett an every-down player at WILB.
