doesn't surprise me.

I know many disagree.

Cota was great. Terrel Iis forgettable.

Minter and McCree? Two strong safeties? I won't even consider such silliness.

Grant was widely inconsistent. I'll take Godfrey over him.

 

That Minter/McCree dua was pretty good. I donno about Grant though.

No tandum can beat the 2003 safety positions of Minter and Grant. It's sad that that is debatable. Just proves we haven't had a lot of star power at the position since our conception. Godfrey has always been a terrible safety. Sure he can tackle pretty good, but the primary job of a safety is to cover and he is very poor at coverage. The conerbacks aren't at fault for his play, he is just terrible at it. For me, I'm hoping for a Mikell/Mitchell tandem this upcoming season. I don't know if Mitchell would be worlds better than Godfrey, but I know Godfrey is bad. However, I know that won't happen since the coaches seem to like Godfrey's "fire" so to speak.

minter and mccree are both the definition of strong safeties.

We started them both out of necessity.

It worked well enough.

Godfrey is more of a free safety. One of the best the panthers have had, despite the constant hate he gets.

Like I said, I'll take two talented starting safeties that fit their responsibilities better than two strojg safeties, with one of them playing the free safety position.

Could say the same thing about Godfrey and Mikell. Godfrey is also a SS/FS and many on here would believe that he's a better SS than FS.

I think the primary strength you look for in a safety these days is how well he can cover but thats not his primary job man, cmon.

 

Its incredibly difficult to evaluate safeties because of their actual primary job, compensate for weak areas of the D. Godfrey makes plays and gives up plays. Idk, he looks good to me when I watch him play.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
