Anyone Know Why...

...Heyward only played twenty-something snaps last night while House played 60 something?? Perhaps they liked House's size vs. some of the Giants WR's? With CM & CW out, Heyward is our next best playmaker....hard to understand why he wasn't on the field more.

Hayward should have been in the slot covering Cruz. He did a great job last night on limited snaps. Targeted once and allowed 0 catches. Also had a PD as well.

From ESPN:

quote:

Part of our discussion Sunday night was the relatively low number of playmakers the Packers defense had on the field Sunday night, mostly due to injuries. The Giants converted 50 percent of their third-down attempts, did not commit a turnover and quarterback Eli Manning was sacked once. In that vein, it's fair to question why the Packers decided to start Davon House at cornerback and use rookie Casey Hayward only in nickel situations. Hayward has been one of the Packers' top defensive playmakers this season with five interceptions.

But Sunday night's personnel decision left him playing only 21 of the Packers' 65 defensive snaps, while House played on 63. House is a big cornerback with some tackling ability and potential, but it's worth noting the Giants targeted him on two of Manning's three touchdown passes. I'm sure the Packers had their reasons, and it's fair to press them this week for an explanation.
