Keep Martin as the Starter and Move Godfrey to CB


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

After seeing his performance in two games, I think he needs to be the starter at safety and I have thought for awhile that Godfrey was better suited for CB. I think it could help him if we move him there, b/c as a safety he has been a liability.

Martin is a ballhawk and is usually in good position to make plays on the ball, whereas Godfrey seemed to be constantly lost and confused about his assignments. The CBs also seem to have confidence that Martin is going to be where he is supposed to be compared to Godfrey, and thus, they try to make more plays on the ball as well.

Martin did a great job yesterday, and I'm confident we would've continued to hold the Saints in check on defense had we not decided to put it in cruise control with our defensive playcalling.

Anyway, I think Martin has earned the spot and its his. Let Godfrey earn his, and I think his best chance to succeed could be as a CB, who knows, with enough time, he may end up a solid #2.

Martin deserves the starting job 100% but I'm not sure Godfrey would be an upgrade over our current starting CBs. I think he'd get destroyed in man-to-man coverage and he still wouldn't be able to tackle anyone. If we were in soft zone all the time like last year then maybe (still probably not) but for now I'd just keep him at safety.
