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.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
