boratt Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Him and Savage are gonna be a really good pair. If King pans out, our secondary will be elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBobGray Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Not sure where else to put this random thought, but does anyone else think that Amos will end up playing the majority of his snaps deep in 2019? The general expectation seems to be that Savage will be our new FS and Amos will play up, but I'm not sure that's how it pans out this year. For one, Savage didn't actually play deep safety in college much. He played man in the slot and the underneath safety role mostly, and that ability to read it and hit it played really well there. He certainly has the foot speed to play deep, but I worry about how often he may bite on underneath stuff given his issues with that in college. 4.36 doesn't save you if you come charging up while the deep threat is running past you. At the same time, Amos doesn't have the same wheels but he's much more fundamentally sound and seems to have a better holistic view of the defense. I'd much rather have the savvy vet who can see it playing deep and the excitable young guy who accelerates toward whatever he sees at supersonic speed playing up. Once Savage gets some experience and the game slows down for him, then sure, all that talent plays crazy well in centerfield, but I just think I'd much rather play it safe and let the CB group play it a little looser. King/Alexander/Jackson is too much ball skills to not let them run around at least a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm thinking it'll be based on sitation/personnel. Ideally if both safeties can do it all you'll have a better time disguising the coverages. It wouldn't surprise me if Pettine elects to protect the rookie and not have him in charge of the back end a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Panning out is going to be an issue with him or Jaire. It's their health. Jackson, Brown, Redmond, et al, are the ones who need to pan out.

Here's what former safety and current coach Jim Leonard had to say about playing for Pettine: “I think the cool part about it (is), I went through the process of a lot of different steps with him — as a position coach in Baltimore, a coordinator in New York, coordinating away from Rex and truly having his own say on everything (on defense) in Buffalo and then as a head coach in Cleveland,” Leonhard said “To me, two words come to my mind when I think of him: Flexibility — his system will be flexible to find the most talented playmakers and the matchups week in and week out. And then creativity — to be able to put those guys in position to make plays on a consistent basis.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 To add to the comments above, Pettine just talked about it in presser and said he's starting with Savage at FS and Amos at SS They'll move around, but that's his starting point for 2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are pieces of Savage's tape that worried me a bit coming out, but I just love safeties who see it and hit it fast and there are few if any who hit it faster than Savage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God was that thing out of control. LOL I was kidding.....but there's nothing wrong with feeling and expressing a "fans" exuberance for a player. Nothing at all. Not everything has to be "GM/coach/scout-speak" and being a fan of the GBPs doesnt have to feel like an academic exercise. It's okay to root for somebody.
