does this make Bene our nickel?

 

I think he was gonna be anyway.

 

Rivera seems to like Godfrey (hence, why he got a big contract from Hurney).  I'm not so sure Gettleman feels the same.

 

The position switching makes it look like Rivera's almost desperate to find some reason to justify keeping him.

 

Not sure it's gonna work.

agreed

 

I've liked Bene a lot, but Rivera's love for Godfrey has been hard to ignore... he's a guy that on most teams would have been cut this offseason... instead he was given a second chance, and now a third if the move to S is true

This IMO was inevitable especially with the injuries to our safeties.  Godfrey will be here this year and gone the next, then the Huddle Collective can find someone else to hate.

 

Don't hate him.  Just don't like him at safety.  He doesn't seem to have the football smarts for it. 

 

Corner is a more 'reactive' spot (and the spot he played in college).  Fox and Hurney never should have switched him, but nothing can change that now. 

 

Had he been moved to corner prior to his big injury, I could have seen him succeeding.  Now, he no longer has the physical ability to play corner, and he never had the mental ability to play safety.

 

So whadda ya do?

well now you put him in sub packages where you want your nickel to be a better tackler than Bene, to play zone, blitz and play the run when a team tries to run from passing personnel.  pretty much like the saints will be doing

      Well this is not a positive development for the team in the slightest. We just got a lot thinner at a very thin position.

      Terrible news all around. Concussion demon takes another panther- Luke, oher, and now jewell. Panthers seemed to want to re-do the contract and Jewell didn't want too, that's a sign that he's retired for good.    I've already arm-chair GM this, its bad. Just nothing on the market, not even a Cloweny-like cut waiting for the right team. Trade wise, another big bad. Jags may have two- former 1st round Lloyd . Member the CJ Henderson trade, Panthers sent a 3rd- Chad Muma was used on that pick. He's done near nothing, but listed as LB and  he's in the last year of deal. Jags drafted two MLBs this yr. Drew Sanders from broncos former 3rd coming off a torn ach......ugh he's young! Channing Tindall of the phins, another 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.. Brian Asamoah of the Viking, 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.......     Cuts seemed to be the best path, by far. I don't know if Dan should trade swap 6th for one of those 3rd round duds and a 7th.      Panthers are going to need a huge surprise from Bam Martin, windom(statered some last yr), or the other UDFA Nomura.  That's the best hope right now, someone on the current roster shows up and shocks everyone while they take over a starting MLB job.
