2010 Expectation for the Safeties

[NJPanthers12]

So.

So.

for u to dislike me that much to go out of your way to pretend you dont care about my post, you get pie because it is obviously very important to you.

the reason i said that about pugh was because i have now seen both fox and hurney single him out. expect him to be a special teams beast with norwood and could be quality depth if given some time to develop. he is pretty fast and should fit the meeks system well.

I think Godfrey came on last year after his injury and I hope that he picks up where he left off. Martin made the most out of his opportunities and I look forward to seeing what the two can do together.

I think when you talk about the safeties you have to talk about the other DBs as well since they lean so heavily on each other. I expect our DBs to be THE top unit in the league this year. We were top 3 all year last year and while we lose a little strength, we gain ALOT of speed with Godfrey and Martin in there. There shouldn't be a team in the league that should be able to go over the top on us. This will end up being the best safety tandem in the history of the Carolina Panthers.

The only thing that will hold this group back are the big guys up front. If the QBs have easy drop backs with little pressure then its hard for a secondary to succeed. But as far as talent...I think we have as much as anyone in the league with the exception of the JETS if Revis returns.

all depends on the pass rush

This. Without a decent pass rush, even the best of secondaries will look pretty average. However, it's a two way street. A good secondary can give the front seven that extra half second they need to get there by forcing the QB to make that one extra read.

Either way, that Jets unit is going to be awfully hard to top if they get the Revis situation worked out.
