No rotation. Fox gave the biggest liability on defense his job back......despite Martin being the clear cut best man for the job.

Reason 34: Why Fox doesn't know what he is doing.

If Jake is 80% this week he will get his job back also and he and Godfrey will both make sure we get STOMPED next week.......and NE is beatable if we played a good game.

You should change your handle to WPS. Worse Possible Scenario.

With the new rules that went into effect TODAY. Martin was not allowed to go back into the game if he showed ANY signs of concussion. No matter what he said. If he did in fact suffer a concusion then you will be right about Godfrey next week because Martin will be forced to sit out another week, regardless.

it is called reality....and some people like to pretend Fox's decisions are right.

Godfrey got the job back. Martin was a backup and special teams player today. That is why Godfrey got ever snap prior to that hit.

I'm pretty sure he got hurt there and must of gotten hurt again or Martin would have been in on at least a few plays..

Or Fox gave Godfrey the job back.....and that is why Martin was playing only special teams. If Martin was hurt and couldn't play S.......then he couldn't play ST.

also, if Fox wasn't going to give Godfrey the job back...there would be not be this "let's alternate our horrible S and new and promising S who played great" talk once Godfrey got healthy.

Looked to me like Godfrey had a pretty good day. An interception, the break-up vs. Winslow in the end zone, great coverage position on Beason's 2nd pick... maybe the bench time did him some good.

Also, Martin got hurt on the kickoff following the opening drive of the game - Carolina's D hadn't even taken the field for their first series yet.

well, the guys are the Observer are reporting Godfrey did get the starting job back. Proof again, Fox starts his guys over talent unless injury forces his hand.

Jake will be back unless he goes to IR. Also, I firmly believe Jarrett or Moore could be make the offense more productive if they got Moose's # of targets.

I think Martin is better also..but Godfrey played really well today. So can't really bash Fox on this. Maybe the time on the sidelines did make a difference.

On the Bryant deep passes Godfrey was out of position and there were quite a few times where he failed to make an adjustment within his zone. He lacks the ability to consistently read the offense in a manner a safety has to, he is much more suited for a CB spot than FS...

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
