Godfrey moved to CB?

Sign a top FA safety? Short term memory around here. Did you guys already forget how hard it was for us to find a safety before Harris and Godfrey came along? You make it seem as if we could just find a random player and have him be effective day one. If we move Godfrey, we're just going to have problems at another position. Forget it.

For the last couple years we've been clamoring for an answer at safety. While the jury is still out on if Godfrey is that answer, we have devoted a year to him learning the position. I think it would be a mistake to move him to cornerback, rather than building upon what we've started.

I don't think it would be right to alter Godfrey's growth at the safety position because of a need at another position. Not to mention I'd like to wait and see how all of our defensive players respond under a new staff and (hopefully) scheme.

Hell No he is good where he is. CJ Wilson is waiting for the 3rd CB spot as we speak.

Not really optimistic with that but we will see I guess...

But a big NO to moving Godfrey...we have been waiting for a good safety tandem for years. We will have one once Godfrey matures into his role.

This is the 10th time I've said this probably but we need to forget about it and ship Peppers ass to Oakland for Asomugha and hope that Al Davis bites...I would even give a draft pick AND Peppers to get that guy..

I'm going to wait for all of our backup corners to excel in starting roles before making any bold proclamations.

Marshall's agent said he would be the highest paid defensive back in the league when his contract is up, and he's yet to acquire the starting job. While I think he's got a lot of potential, he's still making rookie mistakes.

You better believe C.J. Wilson will, too.

Yeah I agree it is hard to find a saftey, but I was just looking at the potential FA S and CB. the S posistion has a lot more solid FA, but it is still to early to tell who will stay with their teams. I dont think Marshal is the answer. When he was on the field he got burned all the time. I was just putting it out there but it looks like everyone agrees it is a bad idea. I still think he would be a good corner, but it just depends on the new coaches I guess.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
