Champ Bailey...

[SorthNarolina]

I think Marshall is gone. So it'd be nice not to miss a beat with a vet like CB.

I don't think his contract would be unreasonable either.

He would bring a great veteran presence too.

I know the team is going young and shying away from FA's but you have got to sign some guys over 30 to give this team some stability.

Would love to see Bailey opposite of Gamble. Just dont see it happening. They might draft a CB or start Captain.

[OneBadassCat]

I think he'd be a good sign. He would probably help make Gamble better too.

[Joscott]

I think it would be interesting to see what he could do at the safety position, but I don't know if he'd be willing to do that. He has lost a step but he's still good, a guy with his recognition skills would be wonders back there.

I agree with you that we need a vet back there. Gamble should be the one to step up but it doesn't look like that has happened. Bailey would be more of a Minter figure to keep the guys in line. With that being said, I can't really see us pulling the trigger and competing with other teams for someone his age.

I don't think Captain should be on the outside. He's played well there but I don't want him to be a full time starter he's just too little.

I never really even wanted Marshall on the outside he mugs bigger receivers constantly to gain the advantage. To his credit he gets away with it a lot.

Thinking about him at safety brings up another thought about Godfrey. Are his hits/turnovers enough to make up for the constant blown coverages?

Godfrey won't have nearly enough time to blow coverages if we address the DT situation properly in the off season. He's growing as a player and his risk/reward style of play will produce a lot more with a pass rush.

The captain is good for a man scheme which I hope we run more. Even Gamble would look better in more man coverage. It is hard to decide who would fit best until we know what cover we will run this year.

How much of a liability Godfrey is in coverage will also vary based on what we need him to do. I would actually expect he should be doing much better on coverage based on being a corner in college. I wonder if coaching and scheme are factors there.

Champ is showing his age lately, as he should.

Build through the draft, and by that I mean don't trade away any more future picks on players that are overvalued.

Captain is going to get the opportunity. He is only a couple inches shorter than your typical corner in the NFL. He has a 39" vertical which makes up for his height.

Reality is we need pressure to help the corners out. I would rather see us invest in the Dline where clearly we need the help more.

I could certainly go with that: Gamble, Baliey, Cap.. along with our LB's... our defense will be good

Champ has been amazing this year....

[Guild]

I said in the free agency thread that I wouldn't be opposed and I stand by that. The thing is that we cannot overpay (we could afford to but we need to sign more than just a CB) the guy and he will probably command a considerable cap hit.

[Anybodyhome]

I'd start with Eric Weddle at FS and build from there...
