The Chicago Bears already had a good safety duo in Eddie Jackson and Adrian Amos. With the addition of free agent Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, one could argue they somehow got better. Despite accusations of poor tackling, the 26-year old former Pro Bowler has 17 interceptions in his career. Amos has three. The coverage potential of this Bears defense just took a drastic step forward. Yet nobody is happier than Chuck Pagano.
There's a reason for that beyond just being the new defensive coordinator too. Pagano is what they call a defensive backs specialist in the business. It's a position group he has coached as an assistant dating all the way back to 1989. In that time he's put together an impressive string of success stories. None more so than newest Canton member Ed Reed.
Pagano not only developed him at Miami in college but had him for four years in the NFL when coaching for the Ravens. This man knows what quality safety play is supposed to look like and how to get it. There are plenty of other examples beyond just Reed and they extend back multiple decades.
