[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 778330"] Capers heavy dime is a more recent development, over 50% and a league-leading percentage according to PFF last season. How you count dime vs. nickel gets blurred when considering the introduction of players like Burnett or Jones playing a hybrid role. Just because the roster says "safety" doesn't make their presence on the field constitutes a dime package. We've gradually seen more 3 high safeties over the last few years, C-D/Burnett/Brice being the preferred combination last season when all were healthy, and then Jones when Brice was injured and Jones proving ieffective in the hybrid role. Even then, those packages were confined mostly to long yardage. I do not agree that Hyde played more safety than slot corner in his time in Green Bay. He comported himself well at starting SS when Burnett missed a few games early in 2015, but his role was primarily slot corner. For example, here are Capers comments from 2014 about his preference for single-high safety when C-D, Burnett and Hyde were all on board: [URL]http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-defense-transformed-by-cornerbacks-coverage-b99418753z1-287430621.html[/URL] Capers migration to running more true 3-high dime, while still not an overwhelming percentage, could be marked from the Shields injury and the general weakness and inconsistencies in man defense on the perimeter.
