Save another Raider?

[frash.exe]

Raiders are widely believed to be cutting Michael Huff, Safety, loose. The understanding is that Huff has followed up a solid rookie effort and sophomore season with an ineffective 2008 and was benched, but this is the Raiders we're talking about, and not even Randy Moss was able to play well there.

Huff was a highly touted prospect and a top ten pick in 2006. Besides, Godfrey didn't really wow me at safety, and with the speculation of Lucas being pushed out, we could switch him to nickel and see how he works out there. After all, he was a cornerback in college, and all draft scouts need to believe college corners should be NFL safeties is a slow 40 time. He may have been a little out of position.

If you've posed this one or two years ago, then you would have a great idea. Now, I'm not sure if...

Well, actually, it still may be worth a shot. Why not?

Brayton did post a career high with 4.5 sacks (even though it was only that much lol) IMO he had the best year of his career here.

Plus, Meeks seems to have a sort of strength when it comes to working with DBs. Hell, even Idrees Bashir did some damage on the Colts defense and Bob Sanders is a buzzsaw out there at safety. He could bring the ballhawk back out of Huff if they ever did pick him up.

Heck yeah get him in. We should always have an open competetion for every position. Godfrey did not play so well that he should be the unquestioned starter.

Harris, Marshall, Hell everyone should be scrapping for their jobs to get that edge we always want to see....but after saying all that we will most likley not see fierce competetion for established vets.

Yea this is the way I see it as well.

Pick him up if no one is interested in him and we can get near minimum vet deal. Otherwise I would not want to get into a mini bidding war with a player who has effectively underachieved every year.

If he is vet minimum cheap then bring him in, let him battle it out and if he is Landon Johnson quality we can cut him loose int he final cuts.

We can carry more safeties than our two starters...

Like I said before, I would be ecstatic to see Huff signed. Bottom line, in this point in time, I'd rather have Michael Huff over Charles Godfrey as our starter.

[Ashor]

The main reason Michael Huff's productivity went down dramatically was probably due to the fact that they signed Gibril Wilson and he had a monster year for a safety. Huff started every game in the previous two seasons but only started 7 this season. He did manage to play in every game but 7 starts killed his numbers.

If we can get him for cheap, I say bring him in. If anything it will push Godfrey harder to solidify his position and Huff could provide depth not only at the safety position but possibly even the DB spots.

Huff would be an awesome offseason acquisition. My question is: is he a SS or FS?

I like Chris Harris, but he's a liability in coverage. I know we just signed him last offseason, but I would like to see two good coverage safeties in the defensive backfield. If Huff is more of a FS, he would be good competition for Godfrey.

Perhaps signing him to a short term "prove youerself" contract that's a win-win for both sides would be best. Somehow, I doubt the Panthers will go for it all the other offseason priorities to deal with, but it would be nice.

If he comes cheap, sure, he can come fight for a job.

Guys we are not lacking safeties anymore. Charles Godfrey played fine for a rook and Ron Meeks is going to make them even better. We need someone to line up opposite Gamble IF the team doesn't think that Marshall is up to it (however I think that they are going to have him as the starter). If the Raiders were cutting a DLinemen then I say bring him in but there is no way that Huff would even consider coming here with established DBs. He's more likely to go to Dallas or some place like that...

Come on Godfrey did well for a Rookie switching to the S pos. There is no need unless Huff can play DT also.
