Chris Harris might be the odd man out

Interesting..

The idea that Harris might be the odd man out seemed strange, but the longer you look at it, the more you realize it might be a factor in the long term if not today at the New York Jets.

The only problem was that the play that earned Harris the money hasn't been as evident since, which makes Godfrey's query a reasonable one, looking to the future

Godfrey clearly is not that player (though he still has potential at free safety with his speed), and Martin is only beginning to show indications he could play with a similar style. The problem with Harris is that he used to be that guy but hasn't been in some time.

So with Harris' salaries scheduled to grow to $2.05 million, $2.45 million and $2.9 million the next three years (while both Godfrey and Martin are toiling on rookie-scale deals), the future of the position might very well be in doubt.

I don't agree at all. Harris' return to the secondary was a big boost to the team as his physical style of play and leadership was a significant upgrade to Godfrey's generally poor play. Martin seems to be the free safety of the future and Godfrey isn't very physical or good in coverage. Godfrey will be here because he is cheap not because he is good. With no cap next year Harris will be safe for another year. In 2011 we will see what Godfrey can do. But at this point the weak link is Godfrey not Harris.

Godfrey sucks what the hell?

He can't tackle/hit worth a poo, I'd rather take a slower guy who can hit than one that's fast... at failing.

The safetey position is not one to put a soft tackler, as they are usually the last chance the D has before a score.

Well this season he is the S who have allowed the highest passer rating against him and he is the only S on our team who have allowed a TD and on top on that he is allowing the most yds of our S.

But he is a beast against the run and Godfrey cant tackle.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
