My biggest issue with the article is "new" position coach? I think he's new in title only, earnings the Safety Coach title when before I believe he was DB assistant coach specializing in Safeties.
So I'm guessing something happened (maybe another team offered him a job, like the Broncos or something), and Packers gave him a title and pay raise, but I believe he's been focusing on Safeties for years.
As far as Savage, I truely believe he might be a super star in the slot role. But they haven't been able to get a good #3 Safety to let him move around.
Though with both starters in contract years, I believe the Packers will be drafting a Safety in the top 4 rounds and I think it'll surprise people, especially since #3 Safety (despite being not the best player) got on the field more than 24% of the time for the defense. So they're an extremely import role player getting into eh field so often even without injuries.
