Charles Godfrey has been legendarily terrible this camp

[CRA]

Coverage was never Godfrey's strength....now he is going to be asked to pretty much exclusively cover.

Bottom line, if Benwikere is even close I'd rather invest the snaps in him.

If we can see enough to judge if a man is guilty or not in a court of law based on Tweets, why would we not be able to make a decision on which player to cut?

As I mentioned before in another thread, the 3 days I went to camp I specifically was watching the wide receiver corp. Doing so inadvertently caught my attention to something else. Nearly every receiver that made a big play had a defender tailing them wearing bright neon orange shoe. I noted that player was Godfrey.

I pondered the reason for the shoes. Was he just pimping his ride so to speak, or was this so others would be careful not to come down on his recently repaired heel? Saturday and Sunday were a disasters for him. The shoes were making him stick out like a sore thumb with every bad play by him. I even wondered if it might subconsciously condition the qb's to lob it up in the direction of the neon shoes knowing there would be no defense. I thought to myself, "OMG! He needs to lose those shoes."

Monday morning. . . no orange shoes!!! Lol.

[Who Said What?]

If that's accurate then I guess we should be excited that Godfrey's already in midseason form

 

Indeed.  Rivera talked about him getting dirty eyes in the backfield and getting beat deep in camp.  That is what he has always done.  He has never been that good to me and this was a last ditch effort to keep him on the team.  Wilks and the new coaches had to be disappointed with his play.  There was a huge causation between Godfrey gong out for the year and our pass defense finishing sixth.  Hell. Lester made instinctive plays in his first year that I have never seen Godfrey make.

With Godfrey it would only be a plus if he plays well but we're pretty set imo with Cason-White, Bene at NB and Dockery/Byndum rounding them out.

I attended two practices so far and I didn't want to be the first to say this but yeah, he looked really bad when I was there. You'd like to think he has value as a jack of all trades reserve but if his limitations are physical he will surely be cut. That has to suck for him after he took a pay cut already. I remember Brenton Bersin and Tiquan Underwood working him over. He couldn't keep up when they made their cuts. I can't imagine him covering Brandin Cooks or Randall Cobb this year.

Sorry Godfrey. You were a goo...no, a decen... well you were a safety, at any rate.

The guy has had his Hurney issued contract gutted, his Achilles ripped asunder and given a slim chance to make the team.

Why are ppl upset again?

Why are ppl upset again?

 

 

Not sure whos upset, but I am definitely a little let down. Godfrey has been a good team mate. He has tried to do all the right things and tried to be a leader. I personally think it sucks that he's having a tough time.

I guess by "upset" I mean why is there a 5 page thread about how bad Godfrey has been.  At this point his contract says he's camp fodder.  It's a little sad because of what he's gone through but honestly he had it great here.  We got little to no return from his play.  He averages 1.8 Int's a year(ballooned by a 5 INT '10) and numerous blown coverages.  2010 was his best year by far and we were horse poo that year.  4 years and a horrific injury later we are still "trying him out"?  The guy just isn't that good.  Just my opinion though.

There is no evidence at all to indicate that Godfrey's being on the sideline improved the defense - coincidence does not equal causation. That said, what's done is done and the reality is that he now has to be a good corner to stick around, and for whatever reason he's struggling with the change.

Pretty much this.  He sounds like a true football guy but he's just not up to snuff.  Maybe he finds his niche in the CFL or something.  

 

Why did Hurney pay him sooooo much? haha NVM, I know the answer
