[QUOTE="Jordyruns, post: 539043, member: 3538"] Ok I'm tired of all the TT hate threads, so I'm going to try and change the topic of discussion. We all know FS has been one of the Packers biggest needs since the Collins injury in 2011. This needs to be addressed this year (please do not bring up the FA or draft discussion that has been going on) as our defense has not looked the same since Collins could no longer play. I think that switching Hyde primary position to safety this offseason would provide a potential in house answer and here are my main points. 1) His primary position this season, slot corner, will be taken up primarily by Hayward next year. With Hyde's documented lack of explosiveness, top end speed and fluid hips it is highly unlikely Hyde could move outside and not giving him a chance to get off the bench would be a complete waste of his talents. 2) This is not an unprecedented switch, Nick Collins was a CB in college and listed as one in the combine Tyrann Mathieu also made the switch this year (while playing slot corner none the less.) 3) Micah Hyde played some safety in college so he has some background of how to play the position, in fact many scouts had him listed as a safety in the draft thinking that it was a given he was going to make the switch in the NFL. He also has a year under capers difficult defensive system something a draft pick or FA would not have. 4) His ballhawking sure tackling skill set fits the FS position very well. The guy has a knack for making big plays and is would allow him to roam around and make those plays. He also has proven that he can blitz when asked to, although capers doesn't do this as much with safeties as he does with CBs. 5) This was the big one for me his measurable are not as bad as I thought for a Safety at least (minus the vertical that was horrible.) Here are some of the top safeties from the 2013 draft next to Hyde. Hyde 40) 4.56 Vert) 33" Mathieu 4.50 34" Reid 4.53 40.5 Elam 4.54 35.5" Vaccaro 4.64 38" Everything else he was competitive in with the others (all first round talent and all played very well their first years) even leading broad jump and the 3 cone drill. He does not have the Collins sub 4.4 40 speed but if you are waiting for a talent like that you either need to bomb and get a top 5 pick or you're probably not going to get it without breaking the bank, again do not start this argument again. Again I'm not saying its a home run and will definitely work out, but I do feel its as good an option as any, especially with the supposed lack of safety talent in this draft that I have been reading about. So what do you think? [/QUOTE]
