[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 544257"] I'd like to continue recent discussions elsewhere about Hyde's play at safety at Iowa. Here's what I've been able to glean about the situation. He practiced at safety in 2011 spring drills and was installed at starting free safety for the first 2 games of that season. After being upset by Iowa St. in the second of those two games, Hyde was moved back to CB. Evidently, his safety play was not well received in some quarters. Here's one commentary on the matter: [B]"He played safety at Iowa for a spell, didn't he?[/B] He did. [I]Kinda.[/I] In 2011, temporary personnel shortcomings forced him to safety in the early part of the year, and he was still at safety in a secondary that got incinerated by Iowa State QB [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/36219/steele-jantz']Steele Jantz[/URL], who truly might be fictional, in a stunning 44-41 defeat. Hyde was victimized repeatedly in the defeat and looked out of sorts trying to make multiple reads before and at the snap. As soon as safety [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/6687/jordan-bernstine']Jordan Bernstine[/URL] (2012 draft pick of the Redskins) returned to the lineup, Hyde was shuttled back to cornerback and we never spoke of the safety experiment again." >> [url]http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2013/4/26/4269086/micah-hyde-nfl-draft-profile-iowa-2013[/url] Now, in that 44-41 upset, Iowa St. scored 20 of those point in OT. Here's the tape of the OT. Hyde is #18: [media=youtube]HhI3yzW465Y[/media] Can anybody point to anything he did poorly in this tape other than the horse collar (which has nothing to do with safety credentials)? I see Hyde defending a 3rd. down end zone pass; I see him coming off a double team to jump another receiver's route for what looks like a "just missed"; I don't see any completions against him; looking at the jersey's after the tackles I judge that all runs were going away from him; and I don't see any "out of sorts" reads (something GB fans would recognize from recent years). If Bernstine came back to play at safety and Hyde was moved back to CB (where he was the Big 10 DB of the Year), and all one knew about the situation was this OT tape, one would conclude the problem wasn't Hyde. Certainly, the OT tape does not tell the whole story behind what transpired in two full games. I'd like to see if anybody has any additional first hand input on the matter...direct observation, more tape, specific examples. [/QUOTE]
