Packers Made Huge Mistake Not Re-Signing This Defensive Back

BY: Christopher Rosvoglou ... 30 OCT 2017

" ...Just one year after letting Casey Hayward walk to greener pastures in California, the Pack may have let another one go by.

During free agency, the Packers watched Micah Hyde sign a five-year deal, worth $30 million with the Buffalo Bills. While Hyde served as a sub-package role player with Green Bay, he has turned into a star safety in Buffalo. ....

Through seven games with the Bills, Hyde has become a star in an increased role. The days of him playing limited snaps are long gone; he rarely misses one anymore while expanding to his full potential.

While Green Bay has plenty of post-Aaron Rodgers offensive issues to sweat, too, their defense is blatantly lacking a takeaway machine. In fact, Hyde's five interceptions ranks just behind the Packers' entire defense; they've racked up six. ..."

I don't think any of us thought Ted should pay 6MIL/YR for Hyde

We need more playmakers from Ted on Defense though; it'd help if all those early round DB's turn out

[mraynrand]

Buffalo gets pressure from their front. At least 2-3 of Hyde's INTs that I've seen have come off deflections or inaccuracies from pressured throws.

I did. I said from the time he was in GB he was a football player and you needed to put him on the field. The contract he signed wasn't prohibitive with the new cap. Our DBs absolutely blew last year and we let a decent one walk.

Both Hyde and Hayward were solid hands out on the field. Hayward was really good right from the jump. But they both graduated from small contracts and made it to the big dough. You can't pay big money to nickel backs. Both guys have to potential to do more on the field than GB was using them for. But both went to the 5-6 million dollar tier. You have to let some of those guys walk.

Hyde has been feasting on the solid front he plays with. Bufs front 7 is better than ours and Hyde has taken advantage of that. Good luck to Micah, he deserves anything he gets.

Hayward was the guy I wanted to keep, for his solid coverage instincts. But he takes a big ticket to the pay window and he opened the season with the dreaded Hayward (Packer?) Hamstring.

You can't keep 'em all, boys.

Neither of them is a shutdown Corner. We've got plenty of solid #2 Corners now as well as decent Safeties. We just don't have a quality #1 Corner.

Exactly. If Hyde were here with our crappy pass rush do you think he'd be getting all these INTs with us?

Hayward was injured all the time as a Packer after his first year. He sure flashed his rookie year but couldn't stay on the field enough to justify a large contract in my opinion.

Shut the fuck up, woodchuck

In here prospective drilling seldom turns up any oil.

A decent perspective too often fails in a whole lot of:

Hello, I'm Green Bay Packer GM Ted Thompson:



Hello....I am Packer GM Ted Thompson:



Good Day ! I AM the GM of the Green Bay Packers and my name is Ted Thompson:

[RashanGary]

I was messing with ya, woodbuck. It’s kinda a shitty season so every disappointment adds up, but it’s all in jest. You have an interesting, independent way of seeing things, but I still like to mess around cuz I feel like if I can’t laugh at things, I’ll waste my life being too serious. So it really is a joke and I really do respect your independent analysis!

Maybe it is more of an indictment against Dom Capers for his inability to maximize players abilities ?

Bring black Master Bates!!!!!

That's just wrong. Without Capers' schemes, the Packers D would be ten times worse than it is.

I usually agree with you, but not on this. It's clear when players go to other better coached teams and shine, that Capers sucks.

[Teamcheez1]

It's time for Capers to ride off in the sunset. Mandatory retirement.

I don't. I'm worried Michael Bennett is going to kick my ass.
