Savage has been very average at best. Hoping it's a blip on the screen and it kicks in for him too in the games upcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it's a blip on the screen and it kicks in for him too in the games upcoming. I'm not worried about Savage just like I wasn't worried about Gary. Savage is still starting. If he wasn't starting, wasn't playing virtually every snap, then I'd be worried. Sometimes it takes a bit for a safety to click in this league, but when they click it's magical. Nick Collins flashed a lot in his first three years, but people more or less thought he was a bust until he broke out in year four. Anthony Harris was a nobody until year 4. Malcolm Jenkins... That's just one thing I wish more Packer fans understood and had patience with. Very few players breakout in their first couple years, especially in the type of place where draft and develop is the motto. It should be the most obvious thing in the world for Packer fans. Rodgers (four years sitting behind Favre) Bakhtiari (three years where nobody wanted him re-signed then bam) Jones (two years of the dog house) Adams (people literally wanted him cut) Linsley (people were hoping we would cut him to save some money and now he's playing like a top 3 center in the league in a contract year) Clark (he was "just a run plug DL" for his first three years) Go back further and you've got Lang, Sitton, Collins, Finley, Perry, Nelson, Jones... The Packers rely on that second, third or fourth year jump from their players. On this team, there is nobody who ought to be written off until they're gone, and even some you shouldn't write off when they leave. Heyward, Hyde, etc. Darnell Savage could be Clinton-Dix/Randall, but he could also be Nick Collins. Rashan Gary could be Datone Jones, he could be Nick Perry, but my money is on him being closer to Clay Matthews for us than Nick Perry as far as career impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you’re trying to say but I think saying closer to clay is a mistake because he was a beast basically right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could’ve swore I saw him out there after the injury in the fourth quarter running full speed at the rookie QB and containing him in a way few other EDGE could have in that spot.

He may have a ways to go to reach his peak, but he's close to being force on the edge. He just needs to get & stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was out there, but he was limping around a bit... You can usually play a little after hurting your ankle. We'll see what he's like tomorrow and the rest of the week for practice.

Mazrimiv Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Right now the biggest question about Gary seems to be whether he'll be able to stay healthy. His physical talent is starting to show up on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persiandud Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm liking the effort he's showing. He's going to make more plays for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We also have to remember he is still rather young. He just turned 23 last Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
