Why can't Godfrey go back to Safety?


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

one of the best questions since TC, why put a dude who hasn't played the cb position since college and coming off a Achilles injury at one of the hardest positions in football, instead of putting him back at the position he was decent at

 

 

Specially when you've seen talent at the nickle position but none at his old position. 

 

All i ask before the ""We Hate Godfrey Crew"" chimed in. 

 

Was is it a option to move Godfrey back to SS?

 

We have talent at CB and with the injuries to Boston and Harper (who isn't good anyway) wouldn't godfrey be a better backup then Russell and Colin Jones??

Godfrey probably would have started over Mitchell all year if not for his injury. That injury may have done him in, though.

 

 

Even with the injury Godfrey is faster then Lester Russell and Harper. And way better in coverage as well.

 

Now I agree we need to spend some high picks on Safety but for this year moving Godfrey back should be a option.

i don't have time for unwarranted Godfrey hate most of the criticism is from his first couple of years.....................

 

i always thought a healthy godfrey/decoud would be the best combo in the backfield with harper/lester as situational backups but i didn't like the harper signing anyway

 

this should have never been and option, Godfrey should have been in competition for the ss position once bene showed promise, i hope this happens soon and Godfrey picks up where he started last year

To be honest, I'm pretty sure Godfrey was given the chance to play the nickel because the leadership didn't think he'd make the team at safety.  Thus, they threw him a bone.

 

Right now, I'd say there's no guarantee he makes the team in either spot.

I totally agree. Other then his blitzing ability I've never understood the move to nickel. If they weren't going to cut him then let him play his best Role.

 

Him and Decoud on the back in is way better then any other Combo I can come up with.

 

I also find it funny that some people don't think Godfrey can't play in the Box. He is 1 of the harder  hitters on the team.

looking at the completion at safety I'd say he had a good chance of starting if healthy

    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
