He's the most tenured Panther in the secondary. I have no problem keeping around and giving him another shot in a reserve role to begin with. He knows the defense and whether people want to admit it or not, he is a leader on the defense... something we need in the secondary very, very badly.

Forget Godfrey supporters...what this tells every Panther fan is that we're clearly f*cked at the safety position.

we are very much that.  we need Decoud to miraculously come back to pro bowl form and maybe Boston can be a gem.  Thankfully, we have never really depended on our safeties to be more than just the last line of defense, other than the occasional blitz.

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

Yes but at safety he can play either position and he is probably better than any safety on our roster, outside of our starters. We don't see his leadership in the locker room. There may be a few variables like leadership that make him valuable beyond our measure.

Good. I think we can all agree Godfrey is a better option over Russell and Lester... I think we roll with Harper, Godfrey, Decoud, Jones, and Boston.

This should be the easiest reason to do this. He's better then the garbage we have been watching.

with nickel becoming the base defense of many NFL teams, Godfrey could find a lot of snaps at both S and NB. he's experienced and can be a communicator in the secondary. he's likely going to be in a sub role wherever he is, so it makes sense to get him burn at both spots. plus with injuries, the stability he can bring week to week may come in very handy. take into consideration his salary and the dead money if he's cut, and it's easy to see how he's going to fit on the 53 come Saturday.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
