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.

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
