What seems to be jelling as a solid group of stellar secondary players may be the best long-term news we have so far. Coverage sacks are as good as fast pressure sacks and the safeties can give more run support, right? Too soon maybe, but of Jackson, Alexander, Jones and King, how would you rank them at aspiring to either Revis Island Shutdown stars or Woodson Ball/Play-Hawking Disruption stars?

I'm high on King's potential as a shutdown cornerback because his speed and size allow him to trail a receiver across the line of scrimmage. I remember talking to his college position coach, Jimmy Lake, last year and Lake mentioning how steady and effective King was in the slot at Washington. Alexander and Josh Jackson have a lot of talent and versatility, as well. Pettine has a lot of young playmakers at his disposal.

Randall Cobb looked great in the first game. How many people are stating they were wrong about cutting Cobb in the offseason? That guy is dynamite!

Cobb had a great game prior to his 75-yard touchdown to put Green Bay ahead after the PAT. His seven catches in the second half went a long way in helping Rodgers and the offense get into rhythm. Moving the chains is what he does best.

Just my opinion: Aaron is too important to put on the field and risk injury. Vikings will cheap-shot him. Packers probably have a 50 percent chance of winning, Aaron has a better chance of getting hurt. Be smart and fight another day.

As Mike McCarthy always says, they'll gather all the pertinent information and make the best decision for both Rodgers and the team. You have to play smart, not scared.

I just thought I'd lighten everyone's minds about Rodgers' "injury history." Aside from his torn ACL, which was in high school, he hasn't had any major injuries. Knee sprains can heal in a month or so and broken clavicles only make it easier to re-injure oneself there. He isn't playing with Father Time with these minor injuries, it's just an inconvenience to his availability, but not his health.

McCarthy mentioned Friday morning that it's his hope this type of injury could clear up for Rodgers in-season. Yes, it's not fun to play through, but it's not like he's endured a pattern of injuries with career-altering implications.

Curious how rigid the Inbox stance is on booing. Would you ever boo? Do you ever boo at baseball games? I personally never boo performance, but I will boo egregiousness. Something Fail Mary or Ndamukong Suh-to-the-groin worthy. It's great having this Packer family and the season upon us!

I save my booing for professional wrestling events.

Mike made a statement regarding the Pro Football Hall of Fame that the focus on players inducted should be on what they accomplished, not what they might have accomplished. I have argued that for years regarding Gale Sayers. I don't believe he is worthy of the HOF based on his career stats (fewer than 5,000 total yards rushing and only 1,000 yards twice). If he is in based on what he might have accomplished had he not gotten hurt, then so should Sterling Sharpe. Agree or disagree?

There is no doubt in my mind Sharpe would have been in Canton if he'd played three more seasons, but obviously that didn't happen. The part of Sharpe's story I feel doesn't get talked about enough is he never missed a game in his first seven years in the league, making 112 consecutive starts. It's tragic it ended the way it did.

Part of why I don't trust QBR is the formula is vague and it has not been released. I can find passer rating and insert the numbers into the formula. Part of me, with the game situation being factored in, believes the rating to be somewhat subjective. Do you have access to a formula to calculate QBR?

I don't use it for three reasons – it's a manufactured statistic developed by a media entity, most of the public doesn't know how it's calculated and ultimately there's nothing wrong with passer rating, which I find to be a simple and effective way to compare quarterbacks.

I wanted to say thank you for posting II every day. On Thursday, a devastating announcement was made that my hometown indoor lacrosse team (Rochester Knighthawks) was moving and being replaced with an expansion team. I found myself scrambling to find any place to voice my confusion and sadness. There was none. It made me really appreciate this forum that allows fans to ask questions, rejoice in victory, and even collectively grieve (sometimes with pitchforks). Keep up the great work.

We're happy you choose to share your Packers fandom in this space, and if I knew anything about indoor lacrosse, I'd gladly lend a shoulder there, too.

I think the Packers win this week if they leave it on the grass as Herm Edwards would say. How about them Sun Devils knocking off MSU?

I know our "Unscripted" producer, Matt Arvin, is still mourning his alma mater coming up short.

Hi Wes. It is 1:30 a.m. Friday and after a very hard week of work and dealing with three kids, I am finally catching up on my Insider reading. I have just one question: Have you and Mike ever thought about fighting each other in a cage match?

It's like the Insider Inbox version of Conor-Khabib. Spoff would get me if it came to strikes in the first five minutes, but I believe my wrestling background and jiu-jitsu experience would allow me to prevail in the later rounds.

Here's to hoping like father, like son, and Cillian changes it further by pronouncing it Hod-kai-wick-zuh. Who knows, maybe in a few generations you'll be the Hesters.

One can only hope. I'm proud of my name and proud of my heritage, but I still wish I would have picked up a pen name when I started writing. It would make things so much easier, but you don't think about that when you're 18 years old.

If you had to have one specific food every day for every meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

My dad's venison stew.

Nothing beats a Packers-Vikings noon game at Lambeau Field, where the only cloud in the sky is generated by grilling brats.
