My main concern is the locker room stuff. I definitely think he'll be a good player on the field, and I'm absolutely certain he'll be better than Nicholson.

Thank you for your informed observations on HaHa.
I figured there must be some minuses to HaHa for the Packers to give up on him. Really great he is excellent in coverage...that is awesome and very important.
Shitty tackling on the other hand is a problem. Bad Tackling can sometimes be fixed. Bad mechanics or angle is fixable.
I hope it is not lack of toughness or injuries, that is more difficult to overcome and sometimes cannot be corrected. I hope he can correct it.
For me tackling for a defensive players is critically important and the best safety's are excellent tacklers.
