So how do you feel about our saftey position?

Do you think we'll be sufficient there or will we be hurting bad like last year? Ron and Dave seem to think there will be no problems, but to be completely honest, after what we've seen in the last two years I have my doubts. I haven't really seen any proven players come for FS position and Charles is decent but not extremely consistent ( though I love his physicality).

 

I was just wondering everybody else feels on the subject?

I hope everyone is right about Mike Mitchell.

 

It reminds me of last year when everyone said Naka would be good because he learned from Ed Reed...

 

In my opinion, there isn't enough film available to fans for anyone to know anything about Mitchell other then that he hits anything that moves.

 

What concerns me is that in today's NFL, quarterbacks will find that one weakness and attack it (i.e. our safety). I'd feel a hell of a lot better with Charles Woodson back there on a two year contract than anyone on the current roster.

Mitchell's speed and his willingness to get physical bodes well for us I'd say. We haven't had a guy playing back there like that in a while. Martin and Godfrey havent exactly struck fear into the hearts of our opponents...

He has a chance to win a job. Hopefully he emerges...if not...then the secondary is SOL anyways

Mitchell can be good if used properly. I'm not sold on his ability to cover, but he can hit and be physical and bring good intensity to the secondary in a way we haven't had in a while. I almost see a young Chris Harris in him, though more athletic.

 

Trouble with that is Harris never could cover worth a damn.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
