It's ok if you think Godfrey is the worst safety in the league. But quit saying stuff like "WE" think he is the worst safety in the league. Or he hasn't played well at safety even when he was an alternate for the pro bowl. He is not Reed or Polamalu, but he isn't the worst player in the history of league either.

I didn't say he was the worst S in the league in this thread.

The WE was clearly someone nitpicking a single word. Godfrey has been a below average S over the last 4 yrs.....not sure why people can't handle that yet so easily throw other players under the bus over 1 season (when he has 4).

As a Big10 fan I have to disagree with your assessment. Iowa used him where they needed him. He did it well enough to be drafted. And has generally done a fine job for us. As a Lions fan, let me tell you. Godfrey is not as bad as you believe.

I pay attention to him probably more than anyone else. He throws his body around, he is solid in run support, he does catch the ball when he gets the chance, he does go for the shot not the tackle too often, but he has been pretty solid too me.

Would I make a change if it were available? Damm Skippy! Solid is fine. But, I would not quit looking to upgrade.

I have never knocked Godfrey as a CB in college.

Simply that he isn't a S in the NFL. I have endorsed him as having some of the best physical abilities on the team.....he just doesn't fit at S.

Carolina needed a S. They drafted a college CB.

I usually can't stand to hear Johnson interviews.  The one up there isn't too bad.  He seems truly humble for a man with his abilities and had great things to say about R Edwards

I wish Joseph Person would shut up about Rivera's comments about CJ stepping up, because he keeps making out like Ron said CJ was slacking when that wasn't the intent at all. Stupid punk-ass reporter.

Nakamura is a Free Safety, but I think he's probably the best Strong Safety we got. He's not afraid to stick his nose in there and make the tackle.

I'm starting to wonder if Naka at SS, and Martin at FS would be our best combo.

I remember seeing a play in the preseason game though, It was the 2nd qtr, Naka & Martin were both in the game. Jordan Senn was making the tackle on a play, and both Naka & Martin was coming down hard on different angles to assist Senn. Martin pulled up at the last minute while Naka assisted with the tackle. That told me all I need to know about the two.

I do think Martin would be much better at FS if he didn't have to come down and assist much with tackling, and could just stay back and play center field, he does has alot of range.

Not sure why you can't handle Godfrey not being as bad as you claim either, but it is what it is.

Errr.... I mean it's a process.

I honestly don't understand why we haven't tried that combo out more. I'm surprised Godfrey's job is so secure...but "in Rivera we trust" so I'm hoping there is a good reason

Godfrey's problems can't all be laid off on the corners. Watch his play against Houston where he was in man coverage vs the TE. He got juked out of his shoes by a bigger and probably less athletic player, and was in no position to make any kind of play on the ball.

That's why some of us have a hard time reconciling what Rivera says vs what we see on the field.

Yea thats what I dont get about him. He has the talent but then a 250lb TE makes him look stupid. IDK thats just Godfrey he is hot and cold in games.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
