So, I guess we let him go to some other team after his contract is up so he can blossom. I have a friend here who is a Bills fan and he just LOVES Micah Hyde. That was one that unfortunately we let get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 39 minutes ago, skibrett15 said: that's not even a close comparison at all. Micah Hyde was someone the FANS hated, but the coaching staff loved. He played slightly out of position here, but he was always one of the top 5-6 DBs on this team, and always played a ton of snaps regardless of opponent since his rookie year. Jackson is a guy the coaching staff is actively avoiding putting on the field until injuries force their hand. They are reluctant to play their 2nd round DB over will redmond and raven greene and the list goes on. Huh? I don't recall anybody hating Hyde. I recall folks lamenting that he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I knew for sure we had a legit #1 WR when he was the only one who was productive with Hundley throwing him the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people hated on Hyde because he was stuck playing man coverage on WRs. Most of us also said see ya later when the Bills paid him $6m a year.

Good for all player and a really good tackler. Good for Buffalo that it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing Hyde at corner and NOT safety was one of the most complained about things on this site, same as playing Hayward outside. The first one it seemed so obvious, the 2nd one we were all dead wrong, as we all see what he turned in to on the Chargers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Has anyone thanked Josh Jones for this victory yet? I mean, is it coincidence that Dallas brings him in 4 days before the game so he can drop some knowledge on them and then we proceed to break the brakes off the Cowboys for the first 3 quarters of the game? Jones is an underrated hero in this win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other folks were of a similar mindset. He would get beat deep in man coverage. He would give up TDs in man coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is pretty close to being cut. There's really no other way to slice it when it takes 3+ injuries to see the field, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The Packers were patient with Montravious Adams and Vince Biegel because they both missed time in OTAs, TC due to injury At that time, we talked about how much of a setback it is for young guys to miss that valuable coaching/technique time in the offseason. In the case of Adams, its working out. For Biegel, not so much Josh Jackson had an abbreviated college career and a pro career stunted by injury. Writing him off now isn't consistent with what we've seen from this front office and makes no sense from a roster building or cap management perspective 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a great interception, and he had another great one in the preseason. I'm still not sure if he is more of a safety or a CB. Maybe it doesn't matter much when he is the #6 DB on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember most people being pretty pleased with his production for a 5th-rnd pick and being comfortable with him as the extra DB in nickel/dime looks. At the time he left, people were still fine with the Burnett/HHCD combo at safety and did not want to pay $6m for a SCB. Doesn't mean they hated him. Most of the griping was about Gunter & Randall on the boundary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
