Any word on injured Kurt Coleman?

I believe Kurt Coleman has given up as many big plays as he has interceptions.

Guess we will call it a wash. He should not be starting.

You're kidding right?  Coleman had a bad game, but he's a decent Safety for us, do you not remember Godfrey, Nakamura, Lester, or hell the guy next to him in Harper?  Even with that, Safety play didn't cost us yesterday, they dinked and dunked us ALL DAY LONG and just controlled the clock and that comes down to corners and our front 7.  35+ minutes of possession took any possible rhythm away from us on offense and by the end of the game we were slinging the ball to try to get back in it.  Lastly, when we didn't get a TD on Normans fumble return, I knew we were done.

The Panthers wouldn't need a TD on Norman's fumble return if Kurt Coleman was not late to his spot and took the wrong angle. On top of that he loses his feet and falls to the ground. When a LB beats a safety to the deep spot, that safety has serious problems. The safety should have been over the top of the receiver before the ball got close to the LB. That is the truth. Any safety who consistently lets a receiver get behind them to blow the top off the deep coverage needs to be replaced as a starter.

As for Godfrey, he actually was the best safety on the field Sunday, but I do not expect most on this board to acknowledge that fact.

Stuff like the Julio play happen ALL THE TIME when plays break down, which is exactly what happened.  Also, he slipped, which also happens from time to time.  Look at the game plan that beat us yesterday, the 70 yard TD didn't beat us, the clock control by Atlanta did.  Fact of the matter is Coleman has been one of the better safeties in the NFL all season long.  Norman and Tillman got beaten like a drum to the inside by Julio and White yesterday, at some point our Backers should have started playing underneath, but we never adjusted.  Fact of the matter, there was a Ton of problems on defense yesterday and the least of my concerns was the 1 blown deep coverage on an incredibly flukey play, especially by a guy who has been really good for us all year.
 

As for Godfrey, are you on Crack?  He doesn't start for Atlanta, he's not even the best Safety on their team.  Yesterday, after Kurt, Harper, Boston, Allen, and Ishmael, he was likely no better than the 6th best safety in the dome yesterday.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
