I'm thinking safety.

Some hate the harper signing, but I'm confident we can use his strengths and not expose his weaknesses.

CB I am confident in as well. I have a feeling cason will play really well getting with Rivera and Wilks.

Last year we seemed to have had a shakey secondary going into the season, but we finished with a #2 defense. I could see our defense be the undisputed #1 this season.

If Godfrey's nickel then CB. If he's safety, then the safety group is better.

So basically Godfrey wherever Godfrey goes that side will be superior? Idk if he will be good this yr coming off the injury. And he hasn't played cb in yrs why do you think he will be a good nickel? Not trying to argue just actually curious.

forced to choose, i'd go with safety.  i don't feel that great about either one, but i think that with that front 7,  that we'll still be in decent shape. i think that safety is pretty much back to the level it was last year heading into the season. CB has a way to go before it gets us back to level. we need at least one more talented guy brought in. i'm not a big fan of keeping godfrey  mainly because of his price tag and the fact he's not a good safety, but i have always thought that CB is his more natural position and that he'd be pretty good there. if they move him to nickel, i'd feel better about CB, but my opinion of the safety group wouldn't change.  the safety corps wouldn't be any weaker if he wasn't there.

Safeties. Sure, Harper and DeCoud are coming off bad seasons, and that's why they signed here for cheap...but they both were recent pro bowl safeties on winning teams. Add in Lester and potentially Godfrey and it's a unit im very confident in.

I don't think our corners are as bad we seem to think. Cason will prove to be a great addition while white will only get better. Thomas, Norman and dockery all have shown signs but were way too.inconsistent.

CB

I actually like our corners. Never a captain fan so replacing him is not a big deal. Cason is the new version of the veteran corner that has past experience with Rivera. Dockery can play. White, Norman, etc., are all tall and should get better this year. In short I think we will be better at corner this year than last.

At safety we have taken a step back. I would have rather had Mike Mitchell than either guy we signed. Godfrey wasn't special before the Achilles and he won't be 100% when the season starts. Lester should improve though. I'll need to see Godfrey play corner at a high level post Achilles with my own eyes in order to believe it.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
