I disagree with this. Hyde offers amazing ball skills.
Maybe the coverage has been adequate from our backup safeties, but the natural ball hawk skills have not. I.e. we are not getting big plays out of our safeties other than Poyer.
notice when Poyer and Hyde were out how much our safeties struggled against Miami. Don’t think that would happen. Hyde makes plays constantly.
On top of all that, I miss him as a punt returner in bad weather conditions. He is so smooth and reliable to receive a punt.
