[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 540699"] They're different kinds of players. Bush is more a speed guy; he's probably the fastest guy on the 53 man roster after Shields. He was supposed to be what Shields became but he was pretty awful in man coverage. He looks better in zone coverage which is why his few snaps come in dime. Hyde is a bit slower (around 4.50 - 4.55), too slow for cover corner particularly without the size to compensate, but he's a much better tackler than Bush, the best in our secondary this past season. He's got good instincts, something you cannot say of Bush. We've said it before and we'll say it again: 1. Nickel corners more closely resemble safeties than cover corners. 2. With Heyward returning, we'll have 2 pretty decent nickle corners with one looking for work. 3. Either of these guys is more talented than anybody in our safety group behind Burnett. 4. Burnett continues to exhibit questionable instincts. When he had less to think about playing with Collins he was a better tackler, and might be better suited to strong safety. 5. People seemed to have chilled on Hyde after Cruz lit him up in the first half. Once again, I wouldn't crap on talent based on one bad half, in this case in a bad match-up. You're not going to find a nickel corner who can run with a guy like Cruz man-to-man all over the field. That's a game plan problem. There is an obvious conclusion to be drawn here...Hyde would be an upgrade to the safety position at either strong or free. [/QUOTE]
