We're not going to play some garbage players just to fill a made-up position lol.

We're going to play a mix of guys in that role, Savage, Alexander, Amos, Sully etc.. 

Its not a made up position. Its a real full time spot as important as cornerback or edge rusher. We are in nickle the majority of the time so you need to take a linebacker out for someone more mobile such as an extra safety but the problem is that person is lighter and quicker but if the opposing team chooses to run the ball that safety cannot hold up against the run. That's why a S/LB (star) hybrid is big deal nowadays. They need to have coverage ability and be fast enough to keep up with WRs and TEs but also at the same time be big enough to hold up against the run.

None of these guys can play S/LB hybrid (star). Amos at a push perhaps. For some insane reason Pettine played Greene there despite being far too small to hold up physically.

However all of these guys could play S/Slot hybrid (nickleback).
