How Effective Will Godfrey Be?

If returns early in the season with a cast on his post-surgical hand? For some of us older guys, (I shutter )when I remember Doug Evans from the late 90s playing with a big-a$$ cast on his hand and it really affected his tackling abilites. Hopefully my concern is not warranted.:frown:

I remember that too, i couldnt believe he played with that on. i hope there is a better option now. i wouldnt want a safety to play that way. it is one thing for a corner to do it, but the safety is the last guy standing alot of times. that is pretty scary if that is or best option.

Didn't Gamble play with a cast or a wrap on his hand a couple of years ago? It seemed he was always in position to make the interception, but couldn't with his hand wrapped.

Godfrey has some work to do in regards to his tackling. A broken hand sure isn't going to help the situation. I really have a feeling Teal is going to start at his position.

well considering Godfrey plays like a$$ when 100%.......I say it really won't matter. Seriously, if you had to evalute the kid and he wasn't a Panther, the Godfrey talk would be a lot different around here. I think Godfrey has some talent....but Fox's defense doesn't play to the strength's of his players. Godfrey shouldn't be a S in this defense. Fox should not have drafted him to convert him.

on a related note, Hawk fans are reporting Lucas has looked strong and is the #1 CB now. I expect a decent season from Lucas this year in a defense that suits him.
