Nakamura starting this week

[Who Said What?]

Nakamura has shown that he is one of the worst tacklers this season. I bet with our improvement on the pass rush, Martin would be able to make more plays and the D-fence wouldn't be so hand-cuffed. That dipsy-doo turning in circles crap Nakamura was doing Sunday is absolutely unnacceptable. As a fan, I do not want to believe that he is the best option we have at FS.

I think it is more a sign of how stubborn people can be....

Don't forget JR practically told Hurney to find someone to start ahead of Martin.....

No, Ron very frankly told Hurney to find TWO players to play ahead of Martin, and made very clear that he had no intention of playing Martin. Hurney found one. so on the bench Martin sits. Ron has n intention of playing him but realizes he may have to, because he hasn't been given anyone else.

Godfrey always plays bad. Playing bad now.

Issue is he makes a play, like a INT, and people then want to ignore everything else.

Who leads all the NFL in missed tackles? Charles Godfrey, the guy you claim is ballin.

Just bc Nakamura is utter trash doesn't mean Godfrey doesn't stink. Can't tackle and can't cover. Great talent allows him to make random plays.

How ironic was it, when Godfrey gave Beason the "wrap up" signal, after Beason missed one of his tackles on Gonzalez.

Lol, I saw someone do it but didn't catch the number....

The only thing I can say about Nakamura is that, he doesn't appear to be afraid to tackle, he just can't tackle. Sherrod Martin at times was afraid to tackle, and it showed.

While Nakamura may be starting, I expect to see Martin on the field. Don't be surprised if Martin is in on obvious passing downs while Nakamura is relegated to two down and goal line territory.

i give godfrey the benefit of the doubt because his bad plays aren't in a row, dudes not ballin but with the right coaching can be a starter in the nfl his aggression when hitting receivers is something you just can't teach nowadays and his coverage although by far not great has been decent so far.... i think further in the season you will see Godfrey grow into his own he's looking like he getting more comfortable out there

Yeah, every year is suppose to be his breakout year. He is wildly talented....he just is a bad S.

We needed completion brought in at FS and SS this year....unfortunately we just brought in special teamers and claimed they were compeition

I'm now convinced that there is nothing Naka could do to get benched this season. His 3 inch verticle and alegator arms are useless. Martin must be mentally handicapped, and he won't be back for next season.

[Silent Majority]

So Rivera believes that Nakamura has gotten beat like a drum for 3 weeks, because he wasn't trying hard enough? LMAO this organization us a fuging train wreck.

You are 100% right, people on here have a short memory of how bad Martin was last year. He got beat deep multiple times and was scared to tackle, remember the end of the half last year in NO when Brees threw the TD and Martin was lost? I am not saying that Nakamura is the answer but for everyone to be all upset that Martin is still on the bench is crazy to me.

Panther/Giants game is to Panthers/Falcons Game as Nakamura/Falcons is to Nakamura/Seahawks.

After the Giants waxed us everyone included me didn't have a lot of hope when we played Atlanta. Look what happend. Now, everyone wants Nak benched and burned at the steak. Let's see if he can recover vs. Seattle.

if we were facing a top notch passing team i'd be more worried...but we aren't.
