Martin & Godfrey Competition At FS?

[beastson]

Reading Harris interview....

Martin in a short time showed glimpses that we got something here

Godfrey was garbage but got better after injury

Martin moved back to FS, should Godfrey move back to CB so we can have all of our talent of the field at the same time. I think its a pure waste having one sit on the bench like Martin did in the final few games

You can't just throw Godfrey in at CB and expect him to succeed. It may be worth a shot but it's likely that he isn't as good a CB as a FS. Godfrey played at a very high level the second half of the season, and he lead the team (except for Peppers) in caused turnovers. I like rotating Harris, Martin and Godfrey. It's like having two elite RB's. They're not all on the field at the same time but they can spell each other and help each other thrive.

I wonder how well Godfrey could play at SS. He seemed to be able to lay some big hits after his injury. Cant imagine the transition from FS to SS being too hard.

Where would that put Harris?

[WilkinsonDonnie]

Im saying for a replacement when Harris is injuried but in the coming years to permenately replace him. He was awesome his first year here but has become quiet the past couple years.

Godfrey might be better at CB....that was his natural position.

I don't think that duo is comparable to the RBs. Both of them are good. Godfrey was a trainwreck for 75% of the NFL games he played in....his tackling improved at the tail end of this past season. Coverage wise....he has always been slow and out of position. We don't need a lesser version of Harris playing next to him. I think Martin would beat him in an open competition.

if godfrey can continue to play at the level he did at the end of the season i expect good things from both of them.

here's one thing to consider. we lost wesley (i suppose he won't be back) so we'll need someone to play the joker role. maybe its one of those two or maybe its harris. i just know that the way godfrey and martin were playing that the idea of having them both in the backfield on those 6 DB sets makes me happy.

[Baschski]

Martin played well in his time, but Godfrey at the end of the season was the best play we've seen at FS in a long time.

[DaCityKats]

godfrey was still out of position on a lot of plays even after he came back from his injury.with that being said i would rather see him at see him at corner.i agree with rayzor on the 6 db look i want both out on the field at the same time.godfrey can play that mid safety role.

Let them compete for the starting spot in training camp and may the best man win. That's how it needs to be at every position, if Stewart looks better than DeAngelo in training camp then he should start.

trade marshall for a second round pick and then put gamble captain and martain at coner and then we can have godfrey and harris at safty and that way wee will have 2 second round picks

[Vagrant]

Godfrey has played about 25 horrible games in the league and a handful of good games. Martin has been solid in all the games he has played.

The only thing about it is that Sherrod Martin is actually older than Godfrey. Pretty odd, eh?

One has to step up in TC or the preseason.

Martin says he's better at the FS position. Vision and Range and all that stuff.

Godfrey at corner would work I bet.
