San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde has been struggling as of late. He blames defenses stacking the box against him for his struggles. This is a round-a-bout way of pointing the finger at the passing game. While this may just sound like an excuse, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy did validate it. "They brought the safeties down, played a zero look a lot," Hyde said. "They brought extra defenders in the box. It's hard to run against eight or nine guys in the box."
"Carlos Hyde is, I think he's a fantastic young player," McCarthy said.
