Godfrey considered the front runner for Atlanta's starting free safety position

I will never get why we tried Godfrey at Nickel. He wasn't good but he wasn't god awful at safety.

 

This^^^

 

Godfrey was horrible at nickel and should never had been placed there.  Even healthy I don't think he could have played good at Nickel.  Coming off injury?  He was an automatic 7-12 yards. Even in trainning camp it was obvious he was horrible playing Nickel.  He was doomed to fail.   Collin Jones played 3 times better at that position.  That being said, he wasn't as bad a safety as many made him out to be before his injury. 

 

I don't think he is anywhere near as bad as Nakumura at safety.

 

However at this point I see him as a little better than Sherrod Martin. (which isn't good either).

 

If he was playing for another team I would wish him luck.

 

Since it's the Falcons however............

I don't recall Godfrey looking terrible in Meeks' system... or maybe I was distracted by how bad Sherrod Martin was?

 

Regardless, the combination of missing time due to injury and being on the streets will either give him some intense motivation, or it will put him in position to fail. For our sake, I hope he catches the motivation later, with another team.

    • People apparently forgot that offseason. Stafford and wife met with McVay in Mexico the offseason he moved. McVay convinced him to leave. Stafford went to the Lions and had a very emotional meeting in which he said he wanted to leave. They obliged based on his time there and the compensation offered(which included Goff). It was a very amicable split. People in Detroit still revere him to this day. He has been open about his affinity for them, as well.
    • going from High school to the pros would be incredibly easy
    • Smitty was a 3rd rounder.  I’m not really saying draft one high at all, 3rd being higher than I have in mind for this year. I am completely with the people that say ‘enough’ high picks on “weapons for Bryce”. Enough of that. Don’t want a weapon drafted early, Yet Again.  For that matter I wish we weren’t forced to address LOT because I want linebackers and big guys. And OL depth in the mid to late rounds. Maybe some late insurance at RB. A QB if the right one is begging for us to snap him up.    But looking at the WR room and believing Moore is sort of redundant or maybe even not a great fit,  and then just recalling the numerous calls for a burner, I was only really saying what I think would be the best type of addition.
