Who do we start at SS?

With Lester hopefully coming of his injury, we have a rare situation. Too much talent in one spot. I have liked what Lester brings to the table while Mikel was out. Now Mikel looked good last week. I like a combo of Mitchel/Mikel, however Mitchell/Lester will thud up opposing wide outs. Honestly i love seeing them drop after a good pop. Anyhow, who do you guys think will get the start? I believe Mikel gets the start but they rotate Lester in for some packages. I somehow feel basd about that cause i like watching young guys go off. Anyhow what do you guys say?

Hopefully Mikell has inside info about the Rams offense we can use. He started 16 games for them last year, so he saw Bradford a bit, including all the practice time. That worked out for us with Blackburn vs. the Giants. McDermott and Luke had that extra info and just stifled Eli.

I'm sure Lester will get playing time though, he's earned that.

 

All signs point to Godfrey possibly not being here next year with some of the talent we've found.

 

Gotta give credit to Rivera and company for finding these guys.

 Without injuries we would have never discovered Lester either. All be it I hate to see a player get hurt but its apart of the game.

Im actually kinda happy godfreys gone I think lester definately has potential and not just because he has 3 ints in 2 starts (plus he dropped one maybe 2 if I recall correctly) but because he doesnt seem to be out of position often

I know Lester has looked good and I'm excited about his potential, but we may be getting ahead of ourselves a bit in his case.

Let's keep subbing him in at SS with Mikell starting and mentoring and see if he continues to develop and produce.

True. Sherrod Martin looked like a world beater when given his first shots as well....

Takes a couple weeks of their play in tape before opponents really start factoring them specifically in game plan besides just acknowledging he is a rookie

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
