So Hyde really is just here to coach a bit and ride the bench to a ring, huh

This has been said since literally the first day he came back, why are people still surprised about this?

It was obvious from Day 1 when McDermott said "not much" when asked what his role was here. It was obvious when they called up both Kareem Jackson and Lewis Cine multiple times when Rapp and Hamlin were banged up. It was obvious when they didn't call him up in the last week of the year to get him some reps. And if you were holding out hope beyond that (which was misguided), it was obvious when they didn't call him up against Denver and Baltimore - when either could have been our last chance to.

 

This was always about him helping along Cole Bishop in Practice, getting him in the locker room and sidelines for leadership and morale, and possibly getting him a ring as a rostered player for all that he did to get us to this point since 2017.

Most important takeaway from this is that I believe this means they are confident in Benford playing. 

 

I think (or greatly hope) he will be playing.

 

But I wouldn't say not elevating a CB definitively means they believe he will. Kaiir Elam is often a healthy scratch with us generally having Douglas, Benford, Johnson, Ingram, and Lewis (who's a CB and a Safety) active.

 

If Benford is out, they'd have Elam active to go along with Douglas and Johnson, with Ingram and Lewis as reserves. We've never called up either Daequan Hardy or Te'Cory Couch all season when CB's were injured. And it wouldn't be any different here if Benford weren't playing.

because it doesn’t make the team better to handle it this way and we are on the cusp of our biggest games ever. 
 

if Hyde will not be an option, and let’s say we win but a couple safeties go down… will you love him being on the squad instead of being hired as an asst coach?

Did they open a practice window for Spector?

 

Yes.  Although some fans seem to think he is on the main roster, he is still on IR.

They had him practice in case of "break glass in emergency".

He's kinda terrible. 

He's not. He is good depth. The problem is he is always injured.
