I think its a good idea personally, because lester is a bit bigger and slower and can hopefully play up and make run stopping plays. Mitchell can run a 4.39 so i dont think he'll pull a nakamura.

 

Also, i think Dockery will do awesome on sunday. I know he hasnt played this year but he looked good at the end of last year and thought he was our best corner.

 

Nonetheless, if our front 7 doesnt at least match Week 1s play to make Mr. Backfoot make poor decisions, we could be in for another looongggg game.

I'm excited about this. It's something new to watch.

That makes the most sense. Lester isn't a FS, hopefully he can be an adequate SS.

The offense needs to have a great game and the so does the front 7.

Agreed. I really like what I saw from him as well. Now I'm not so sure how he will do Sunday, since he has been out for a couple weeks. But it will be a good test.

Lester cannot tackle. Nor cover, for that matter. But I just don't see what difference is made by moving Mitchell.

 

 

Glad the answer was already on the roster.

But beyond that he is a stud, right??

I'm not feeling good about this game. Our starting secondary gave up over 300 yards passing against Seattle and just shy of 300 against the a QB, now we have a make shift secondary going against Eli, who threw for over 300 yards against Denver's defense. Not a good feeling at all...

Great news! Am I the only one who is excited to hear that Godfrey is out for the season? Don't get me wrong, I hate to see player(s) go down. Though, I love the idea that I won't see Godfrey on the field this year. I try to like the man, but I just can't. He has to be one of the worse starting "safety" in general in the NFL. Solid tackler but terrible in coverage.

Hopefully Mikell will be able to come back in a couple of weeks. I mentioned it before that I think we'd be better off with a Mikell/Mitchell combo at safety. From what I saw from the preseason, Mitchell looked a lot better in coverage than Godfrey. I really hope that Lester will surprise us this week. Loved, loved the kid during his days at Bama.

Eli might throw for 600 yards.

God damn, this will get nasty on Sunday. Dline needs to play 10x better than against buffalo
