Godfrey back to S? Per BBR

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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
