I know Hyde is "a football player" and a versatile one at that.  But last year, even though he filled in admirably I always felt he was kind of reaching his ceiling physically.  He never had great speed or size and that's fine if you're a savvy vet who used to have those attributes.  But he seems more of a Jarrett Bush type than a solid starter.   Maybe he's just slumping a little and will pick it up as the year goes on.  

HaHa is making steady progress...

 

" With Morgan Burnett (calf) out, the Micah Hyde-Ha Ha Clinton-Dix pairing was just fine. Clinton-Dix (50) blasted Kaepernick with a hard tackle on the 49ers' first play, letting him know there would be a physical price to be paid if he didn't slide. He slid after that. "

 

Foles will present a different challenge this week and if he tosses up the same lame-ass passes he did last time at Lambeau, I hope we get a pick or two this time around

The Packers have had a number of quality safeties over the past 20 years, but only one – Nick Collins – was as impressive in his second season as Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. And while that’s not to suggest the former Alabama star will go to three consecutive Pro Bowls, he certainly has the potential to make a trip or two to Hawaii.

 

Clinton-Dix has been a force close to the line of scrimmage and he’s one of the big reasons the run defense has held three of six opponents to under 80 yards  on the ground. Last year’s No. 1 pick is filling hard and striking with a thump. More importantly, his technique is noticeably better. And while stats don’t always paint an accurate picture, they do in this case. After averaging 4.4 tackles and 0.9 missed tackles per game as a rookie, Clinton-Dix’s numbers are   6.7 and 0.6 so far this season.

 

In a league devoid of quality safeties, Clinton-Dix is already among the 20 best players at his position.

 

 

 

When Burnett returns, things should get even better. HHCD is having a pretty good start to his sophmore year. He's gotten better with not lowering his head as much as well.

 

Micah's been picked on a lot in Morgan's absence. The 1/2 punch of HHCD and Burnett could be really fun to watch in the 2nd half of the season.

Just re-watched the Packers Cardinals playoff game again and one play that stood out to me that I didn't remember was this one.

F*$k that play was awesome.  Ha Ha is one tough and focused dude to come down with that ball and secure it .   3rd year should be even better and our secondary is going to be damn good. 

That's just another reason to be excited for 2016 and if we stay healthy we're going to kick some ass.

And a  coc*su**er play by #15.
Totally gives up any thought of even trying to go for the reception, or making a play to defend the ball, and blasts HHCD in the facemask with his hands!
