Davon House: "I think my film shows I’m a starter'

In some ways, Packers cornerback Davon House fits the bill of a player whom teams could covet in free agency. For one, House plays a premium position. Secondly, he doesn't turn 27 until July. Finally, he he has good size for a corner (6-0, 195), and he was timed in a solid 4.50 seconds in...

House played just fine the problem is with him being able to stay on the field. He's actually the only CB on the team who looked like he could cover guys like Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson at times. I think we should bring him back because he gives us a different body type from everyone else we have on the team.

Davon House was the worst Corrnerback on the Packers last season. Even ProFootballFocus sees it as well.

Apparently I took a ride in a DeLorean as these stats below in the Spoiler tags were from 2013. :)

Show Spoiler

Coverage ratings for 25% or more snaps
Shields +3.6 in 900 snaps
Williams +2.5 in 1,060 snaps
Hyde +1.3 in 428 snaps
House -3.2 in 472 snaps

So, while the numbers were absolutely not wrong, they simply were the wrong year.

Gonna use a picture this time, lol.

Are Packers fans the only fan base that degrades their starters and over rates their backups?

I also agree with Steve that for some reason House matches up better against the bigger receivers. I am not convinced House is a starter, but I think he can share duties with Hyde. I also think a draft pick will go in round 1 or 2 on a CB which makes the decision to allow Williams to walk away a little easier.

Some context here, lol. If House gets $5 million, forgot my previous statement, haha.

I think Williams is worth a 3 year deal averaging around $7 million a year.

I think House is worth a 3 year deal averaging twice the veteran minimum with escalators if he starts X amount of games.

House only played 1 snap on defense against the Falcons and when he played against the Lions, those were two of his worst games. I agree he has the height/size for matching up on bigger receivers, but his build isn't much different than Jarrett Bush.

I'd prefer something more like Tim Jennings or Cortland Finnegan got, in the $5.5 million range with about half the deal guaranteed (or set in a roster bonus based him still be on the team).
