Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is one new face in the Green Bay Packers' secondary. Does the safety figure to start? Gregg Rosenthal opines where the rookie ball hawk and his teammates fit in.

I'll go out on a limb and say Sherrod beats out Bakhtiari.

I like the projection as written. I hope Nerd is right about Sherrod, but that's a long shot.

My random guess of Green Bay Packers Projected 2014 Starters, at least for the start of the season.

Offense
QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Eddie Lacy
WR1 Jordy Nelson
WR2 Randall Cobb
WR3 Jarrett Boykin / Davante Adams
TE Andrew Quarless / Brandon Bostick
LT David Bakhtiari
LG Josh Sitton
C JC Tretter
RG T.J. Lang
RT Bryan Bulaga

Defense
DE Mike Neal
NT B.J. Raji
DE Mike Daniels
OLB Clay Matthews
ILB A.J. Hawk
OLB Nick Perry / Julius Peppers
CB1 Sam Shields
CB2 Tramon Williams
CB3 Casey Hayward / Micah Hyde
SS Micah Hyde / Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
FS Morgan Burnett

~ TE: Mike McCarthy called Brandon Bostick the Packers best blocking TE over the offseason, and he moves extremely well for a TE (he was a college WR) and Packers seeming to be bringing in more of the TE/WR combos, so I think they're moving that way. I thought about making him the sole starter but he also showed problems with what seemed to be alligator arms / drops when he had to go over the middle or they got in the red zone so I felt like Quarless should be left up there still.

~ DE: From the way Mike McCarthy has talked about Mike Neal it sounds like they want him as a DL first and OLB second (and Peppers as an OLB first and DL second)... also with what sounds like a new aggressive one gap system, that would favor Daniels, Neal and Jones. But Neal is a bit more physical than Jones, and they still have to stop the run on the way to the QB, so I'm thinking Neal first, Jones as the pass rush specialist on 3rd down and anything and long.

~ OLB: Perry flashed a TON of potential when playing ROLB... the problem... they barely played him there and had him playing LOLB a lot. I think they need to see what Perry can do from ROLB, Matthews has already shown he can play from both side. I think we'll see Perry and Peppers rotate and maybe some of both of them with Matthews getting a breather on the sideline and/or maybe Matthews rushing up the middle from ILB?

~ CB: Coverage wise Hayward was better, but overall being a complete player (ie, being physical, tackling in the run game, blitzing, etc) Hyde might of been just as good or better and more of a threat to blitz off that edge and get into the backfield and make a tackle. Having Hyde at the slot gives the play caller a lot more options.

~ FS: Based on the past, Packers always seem to put a vet/guy they trust most at FS until the other person proves themselves. I'm sure once they become comfortable they have the FS and SS switching up some trying to confuse the offenses.

~ SS: Mike McCarthy said they wanted to get Hyde on the field more, anyway they can. It sounded like that meant Hyde to S at least before they drafted Ha Ha. Also I've heard the NFL is moving more and more towards 3 Safety nickel packages and teaching Hyde safety, he could line up and be either and make it harder on offenses. (and Capers ran a 3 Safety package defense while he was head coach with the Texans). And that would mean in case of an injury Hyde could hopefully back-up all the DB spots, or start at them if say a rookie is adjusting to the NFL.

Other teams have adjustments for their team. (I forget who it was maybe the Bears had a 4-2-5) I was impressed that he went through the extra effort to make a few adjustments.

    Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
    Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
    Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
    dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

    Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
    Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
    Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
    beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
    beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

    Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
    Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
    go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
    beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
    beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
    beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
    beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
    Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
