We already know who's taking over for Clinton-Dix ... how do you feel about that?

GREEN BAY – Ha Ha Clinton-Dix smiled, and laughed softly.

Leaning on his locker inside Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers’ fifth-year safety looked down the row at Jermaine Whitehead, who had his headphones on and was digging into a piece of salmon.

“He’s our new Micah Hyde,” Clinton-Dix said. “He’s a guy that can do everything.”

It’s high praise from Clinton-Dix, who paired with the versatile Hyde for three seasons. And while the defense and its calls have changed under Mike Pettine in 2018, there’s reason to make the comparison.

Whitehead may not have the ball-hawking numbers that the versatile Hyde put up in Green Bay and now in Buffalo, but Pettine has trusted Whitehead to play a variety of roles in his defense.

I haven't seen enough of him to have a real opinion. We have seen where UDFAs DBs have worked out in the past. There's no reason to believe it can't happen again. As far as ints go, I don't really mind it if he doesn't have a bunch of them. It doesn't really mean he doesn't know how to cover the receiver. So many ints are because of errors not great coverage especially at the safety position where they are playing deep on a double team and the QB over throws his target. Yippie we get the ball. But it's not as if the DB was locked in tight coverage all the way down the field and stepped in front of the receiver and took it away. Not all interceptions are created equal.

We always complain when moving guys along the OL... if we moved Williams or Jackson at CB, I fear that might make CB weaker (plus we need them to pick one spot for Jackson and kepe him there, not keep flipping him around to different spots) and the coaches don't seem to be high on Josh Jones at the moment for what ever reason (though I think he should be the dime LB/S now if Whitehead steps up)... but will be interesting to who who they trust more in the dime LB role, Burks or Josh Jones.

I really don’t know much about him.
INTS are nice, but pass break ups are more important.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

beast (30-May) : Yeah, and I enjoyed your comments and just attempted to add to it. Sorry if I did it incorrectly.

wpr (30-May) : Beast I never said Henderson was the salt of the earth. Nor even that he was correct. Just quoting the guy.

Zero2Cool (29-May) : What did you do??

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would

packerfanoutwest (27-May) : Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers, just another rumor
