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

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
