Godfrey Play

Yea I heard someone mention it before but its soooooo flying under the radar

I was the most critical on him and his play. Him being a S and not being a corner but man...

He made this one play on a screen where he flat out took on the lineman Louis and managed to stay up just enough to trip Forte and make him stumble to keep him from breaking one. At the time it was nowhere in the area but him. You can hear the collision too

I'm happy with him. He did have the one whiff on one of the first drives when Forte broke long, but he made up for it by cleaning up 3 plays in a row and shutting down the drive in the red zone.

Honestly most DBs are going to miss that tackle. Forte runs hard, a lot like Stewart. When people occasionally miss tackles on those guys it doesn't mean they suck, they're just really tough to bring down.

He looked fired up against Chicago. He was everywhere. I know he's not perfect and I've said it before he's been a suspect tackler (my opinion). But he was laying some lumber in the Chicago game. I noticed it right away I guess because of my perception of him up until now. He looked good last game.

he's the only original team captain left... the guy is undeniably the leader of that defense right now. his ability to be the quarterback of the defense in the way that beason was, and even chris harris was when he played for us, will determine how our defense shakes out by the end of the year.

watershed year for godfrey.

Godfrey is my favorite panther. Ever since we drafted him I always felt he had potential to be great and hopefully one day he will be.

Everybody bashes him but I think he's a good ball player. He plays hard and shows more intensity than anybody other than smitty. But smitty goes buzurke after a 2 yard catch like it was an 80 yard bomb lol. I know Godfrey won't ever be like Ed reed or polamalu but there's something I like about him and I feel he will be the panthers greatest safety when it's all said and done. Yes Even better than minter. I will be waiting for the hate to commence upon u guys reading this.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
