they praised godfrey and martin when most people on this board bash our safeties. Both played corner in college and I think, considering they're both still young and learning to play safety at a high level, we do not need to address safety necessarily as a necessity this offseason.

I've been on eof those that have given Godfrey a hard time, but I've been a Martin fan since his first start last year... But, I have to admit, Godfrey has gotten himself together since about midway through the season. Besides getting trucked by Hillis, he's been in position and helped out his corners, which is what he seemed to constantly mess up before, so I know he's picked it up.

If he keeps his level of play up, we should have a good defensive backfield for years to come because I know Martin is a baller, both have shown ball skills and the ability to come up and hit... It was just a matter of Godfrey getting his coverage/help over top consistent IMO.

a lot of the questions about clausen i had to say no to. i don't think the guys on the team look at him as a leader. i don't think that steve smith respects him. i don't think that clausen demands that respect. it may be a couple years before he gets to that point and i'm not sure that it's anywhere close to a given that he will reach that point. i see him as just a kid whose out of his element in a mans world. in his head he's still stuck in college and it seems like he really wishes he was still there.

a lot of the guys that really do well as a rookie or who have a lot of potential that can bee seen as a rookie have that ability to realize that they are in a another place, in another situation and make the jump. they quickly command and get the respect of their teammates. their presence is known immediately and you know their head is in it. i just don't get that with clausen. ryan had it. manning had it. looks like bradford has it. luck has it. it's all about the intangibles that they come to the table with.

How is getting trucked by Hillis a problem if your safety is the first guy to touch a RB it's a breakdown of the defense. Hillis had a full head of steam no defensive back even Sean Taylor will come out on top the majority of the time.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
