[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 500681"] He did more than that...he's already one of the best nickel corners in the league. He is the genuine article. His instincts are beyond his years; his ball skills are exceptional. I don't mean to pick on you, but there seems to be a general perception that nickel corner is some kind of diminished role with the cover corner role a "promotion". I think this is wrong in this defense in today's game. Woodson was essentially a nickel corner in 2010-2011, with 2010 being the finest defensive season we've seen in Green Bay since Reggie White (Woodson's DOPY in 2009 not withstanding). Once Shields came on the scene, Woodson only played cover corner in base D; Shields took that spot in nickel when the opponent was most likely to throw down the field. In this defense the opportunities to make plays from the nickel spot, especially in zone D, are abundant for a true football player with outstanding instincts. Hayward has demonstrated he can be that guy. [/QUOTE]
