Finally, someone that fills the Nick Collins void.

With the twenty-first pick in this year’s NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers selected safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Many fans were excited to get a player from the pedigree of Alabama’s Nick Saban. Dix had an up and down season-opener as many rookies experience playing under the prime time lights for the first time as a

As good as he seems to be, he's a different kind of player from Collins - better against the run, but less opportunistic for interceptions - so far. I would say he is well on the way to filling the void, but not exactly a direct replacement.

One thing I'll take as a potential good sign is he isn't really being tested much on passes. That may also be a product of a good pass rush in front of him but it at least proves we aren't dealing with a Peprah/Jennings/McMillian situation in coverage. Add to that he's been fantastic in run support. So far it looks like we've got a good one.

Aside for some gaffes in the Seattle game, I've liked his tackling lately too. He looks a little lanky, but seems to pack a good punch.

Probably not the easiest of positions to start as a rookie. Looked shaky against Seattle, but the kid has been solid since. I agree with those saying he packs a punch when he hits guys. Happy he fell to us and based on a recent tweet he is thankful to be in Packerland.

I think he is a better fit closer to the line, where Nick was best as a center field side to side FS with his speed.

A side effect of HaHa playing better is, that Burnett has been as well. Improving one spot makes them all better.

I'm wondering with the Shields, Williams situation that we may see Micah Hyde switched back to Corner for the time being and Ha ha playing alongside Burnette full time?

He has been impressive for a rookie!!!

Only going to get better!!!!

Hyde was moved to Safety because of need, Clinton Dix was no guarantee when drafted.

I think it is becoming pretty clear HHCD is going to take over the starting position full time at some point.

Now is as good as time as ever.

That would free up Hyde to be that 3rd corner(if Shields and Williams are out for any length of time.

House and Hayward may be the starters this week, I would rather have Hyde as the 3rd corner and that would keep Bush as the 4th corner.

Burnett, HHCD, Richardson at safety.

House, Harward, Hyde, Bush and Goodson at corner.
