What a difference a D makes: Mitchell and White

[rodeo]

I think Mitchell has a home at FS for the rest of the season and maybe beyond if he's good enough, cause he's definitely cheaper than Godfrey. Hopefully Mikell gets healthy soon, because the combo of Mitchell and Mikell at FS and SS could be the hardest hitting defensive backfield in the league.

 

With our front 7 we don't need the best coverage safeties in the whole world. Leave the coverage to the CBs and the literal fear of death to the safeties.

Mitchell is going to cause a lot of fumbles if he keeps laying the wood like that

Melvin White was they guy who sent the awesome tweet about not being invited to the combine, not getting drafted, but still making a team. I've been a fan of his since Smitty gave him a reigning endorsement on WFNZ during training camp.

 

For whatever reason the Seahawks got me wanting big physical corners, and Melvin fits the bill.

I agree I think Mitchell makes a better Free than Strong.

 

Anyone happen to know who's faster between Godfrey and Mitchell?

Godfrey 4.38

Mitchell 4.39

 

Same speed but Godfrey ran that when he weighed 10 lbs less, so who knows.

How come the play that Mitchell laid out the WR right next to the sidelines wasn't flagged for defenseless receiver? I thought defenders couldn't hit them while they were still up in the air anymore? It was later in the game against I think Reuben Randle.

Melvin wasnt cut and placed on PS. He actually made the 53 man roster. Just been inactive.

 

I've been saying that I thought Mitchell would made a better FS than Godfrey with the times I saw in Preseason. He's clearly better in coverage than Godfrey. I want to see more of Lester too. I think he's going to be something good for a long time. But, I'd still like Mikell to come back soon.

Mitchell is going to knock his own self out if he keeps laying the wood like that.

i said the same thing and was praying they didn't throw a flag, i guess the only reason was Lafell got blasted earlier and they picked the flag up.......fair play?

[Rags]

White really impressed me, physical, smart, and although he *maybe* got away with a PI (debatable) play well on a deep ball thrown by Eli.

 

Really happy with that kid.

I'm just glad Mitch hasn't stabbed anybody yet.

 

not me.

[PhillyB]

i like mitchell and hope we keep him around. every good defense needs a nasty/crazy streak, and between mitchell and hardy we have two horrifyingly mean players who will happily break you in half. offenses think about that stuff.

 

i guarantee you carson palmer still remember the hardy-and-CJ sammich we made last year.

[RelaxImaPro]

not me.

 

Once a Raider always a Raider.

I pied Panther17 on his post of Mitchell. I like Mitchell but he needs to learn when to lay wood. I was surprised that a flag wasn't thrown on his late hit that came well after the WR failed to catch the pass. I love his aggressiveness and intimidation, but he needs to get in line with the rules so he can help the team win easier and more often.
