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).

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
