Take any pressure off Aaron. Play him in the back pocket. Not necessarily as a quarter back (ala '08-'09), but as a true defender. Yarren and Davis have both looked superior backmen this year. Give Aaron a similar role. His job: to stop his man scoring and if he gets the chance to run off his man, do it. He can revive his career in a similar fashion to Davis. I wouldn't even be against starting him on a LeCras tomorrow. Anyone agree?

He has one of the worst defensive skills in the team. In terms of manning up can only chase. Forward pocket to chase people down and create goals.

If you want to take the pressure off, put him in the forward pocket where he belongs. It's where he played his best football and where he built his reputation. Tell him focus on his tackling and defensive pressure once again, rather than floating around the outside of packs looking to be the playmaker. He needs to get back to the game he played as a 22 year old.

Aaron hasn't played a good game up forward since '07 or '06. He played the forward pocket last week (lacking fitness admittedly) and did bugger all. Three classy touches, but just didn't get it enough. It's about giving him a challenge and a focus. One aim. Keep it simple. All he has to do is beat his man. Hopefully he can gain some confidence from that. I sense I'm alone on this one though.

He would not have the fitness to play down back at the moment. Play him forward in a defensive roll.
