Kevin King played aggressive against Scotty Miller to end 2nd half vs Buccaneers in Mike Pettine's final season, yes? I believe he tried to get up in his face and got toasted.

The Packers usually played two high Safeties zone defense, the surprise play call was a single high Safety and man to man coverage. Later Amos said he strongly thought, abd recreated not calling a time out and being like, "are you sure?" about this play call, as it was out of norm in that situation.
I'm starting to forget names, but I believe it was Redmond that was the deep Safety, and he had three choices. From his left to right (QB's right to left)
1) Alexander in one on one man coverage
2) Amos and another Packers, maybe a LB, on a two on one receiver running in the middle.
3) King one on one with a speedster WR.
And Redmond was an idiot and choose option #2... and I say idiot, because now it was a three on one, where Amos seemed like he had the guy locked up the entire time one on one, and he already had additional help.
Helping either outside CB in their one on ones clearly would of been more helpful, but helping King in a matchup vs speed would of been best.
Redmond also dropped AT LEAST two easy INTs that game. Though I say easy (they were lobs which he got under fairly easily) but the sun looked like it potential could of played a factor. And there might of been a third, though not as easy. I have wondered if was would of had Savage deep and Redmond in the dime role that Savage was filling, would things of turned out differently.
