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.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
