    Savage lined up over Kittle, but peeled off and chased someone up the sidelines.

    I said 'oh no' as soon as I saw him take a step that way. Girlfriend was like 'what? oh..." I was pretty sure Kittle was going to be the Pack's undoing.

    edit: just watched the video, Savage went inside, not out.

      King not to blame
      LaFleur basically confirmed 49ers tight end George Kittle’s 61-yard touchdown in the second half was not cornerback Kevin King’s fault. King initially covered Kittle on the play, but he turned to guard against the outside of the field at the top of Kittle’s route. Kittle turned inside on a post route, finding nothing but open space in the middle of the field.
      That open space shouldn’t have existed, LaFleur said, because King should have had help inside.
      “They ran a keeper corner post to Kittle,” LaFleur said, “and we cut the crosser and didn’t have anybody replacing on the back side to make sure we plug the middle of the field. That was versus quarters coverage.”
      If it was quarters coverage, that means two guys were moving. One should have cut to the crosser, one stay deep. Both probably jumped up short.

      Some of this could be Savage being in his first year.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Happened to Randall two years ago too. That game was the meltdown on the sidelines when he got sent to the locker room.

          I wonder if Campbell will help with some of this, letting Amos stay in the back.

            It seems like the main reason there is no Safety in the middle of the field is that both are needed to help both Corners - and even then, they can't cover receivers outside or inside. Blitz the hell out of teams! If putting more people in coverage still doesn't result in adequate coverage, then go after the QB - it can't be worse that the way it was. They did that with fair success early, but then they changed it up and let those twin pigs from Northwestern on the field.
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
