Why can't Godfrey go back to Safety?

[CRA]

If Roman can't go, I would rather bring back Mikell. He wasn't bad last year and I think he could do at least as well as Roman or Godfrey could do.

I think Mikell is done

Charles Godfrey is basically a Marty Hurney Guy, and by that I don't mean guys like Cam Newton or Greg Hardy, but guys with no skill that Hurney thought would end up panning out as a decent starter and never did, like Everette Brown and Dante Rosario

Godfrey on a Gettleman team would've gotten his shot, lasted 4 games before getting shitcanned and unceremoniously released a year later

[Carolina Crazy V2]

Put his last 3 years numbers against Godfrey.

Also you're lying if you say you haven't watched a Saints game.

 

 

Numbers? Lol. 

 

Godfrey: 163 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 15 PDs, 4 INTs

Harper: 249 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 19 PDs, 3 INTs

 

You asked for them. 

 

 

But traditional statistics matter very little in comparing safeties. 

[Who Said What?]

Clearly didn't look at Rivera presser post game vs the hawks.....he clearly stated Thomas got beat and that wasn't Godfrey's assignment but please continue,also and this defense got better when he got injured is pure unadulterated speculation, mikel came in and did a decent job but there were numerous times he was out of position, and he created one turnover throughout the entire season if the coaching staff wanted probowlers at the safety position they would have resigned Mitchell or spent a mid round pick on one

Godfrey was looking in the backfield on a play-action fake.  He could have helped out deep which is his assignment.  It definitely wasn't to freeze with his face in the backfield ten yards off the ball like he did.  Rivera talked this year in camp about his "dirty eyes".  Its just like the Nakamura play where he could have intercepted the Ryan heave to Roddy White and didn't.  Technically it was Josh Norman that got beat, but Nakamura should have easily made the play.  It was the same thing, but undisciplined Godfrey did as he is doing this year and not using his head to make plays.  He is marginal at best.  "If the coaching staff wanted probowlers" is the dumbest nonsense you could have said.  Thomas Decoud and Roman Harper are former pro bowlers!  Mitchell is not and just because they had down years or you personally think they are done doesn't mean its not on their resume.  On top of that, they did spend a mid round pick on a safety,  His name is Tre Boston.  Tighten up Captain.

I have to admit I am in agreement with WOW! Godfrey has had snow challenges but he would be our best option at Strong Safety. He communicates well and tackles well when he isn't in space.

In the open field he takes a step back with his angles and tackling ability. In my opinion he should at least be given the opportunity to compete at strong safety.

I think he is better than what we currently have competing for strong safety.

[Frizzy350]

Huh lol yeah we do. He didn't just magically get worse or much better since N.O

 

Mike Mitchell magically got much better since OAK.

 

Different situations entirely, but Harper doesn't need to be great, he just needs to be opportunistic with our front seven.

Just because it worked last year isn't the case for this year, decoud has a chance to pan out Harper not so much coming off the #5 defense boston might be a good pick but is injured which leaves Lester Harper Colin,Russell,and Godfrey with Harper injured at the moment better to go with the vet Godfrey with Lester as the back up

And go back and listen to the presser, your pretty much saying Rivera is either wrong or lying how do you know his assignment better then the person who called the play?

Harper has never been opportunistic. I can't be the only one who has seen this dude play right.

At one time Harper was a solid in the box Safety. But now with age and being slow he isn't even good at that anymore.

[SIGCHI222]

Godfrey looked like Tarzan, played like Jane. 

Not worth our time.

[WOW!!]

Numbers? Lol.

Godfrey: 163 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 15 PDs, 4 INTs

Harper: 249 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 19 PDs, 3 INTs

Godfrey is that close in numbers and he missed all last year. Nice try comparing 3 years to 2. Let's try to be fair and use common sense when comparing numbers.

Now if we take out the year where Charles only played 2 games and put in 2010 (a full season). Godfrey has 74 more tackles 8 more PDF and 5 more int's.

So that's 239 tackles 23 PDF and 9 int's.

[ForMac]

I would search the waiver wire for a ball hawking safety. Seems the staff likes a power hitter. I like Godfrey better than all the current SS options. If nothing clearly better, he should earn a backup safety and nickle spot.

What was he even doing there if he had a different assignment? Funny it started happening less and less after he got hurt.  Also, the players we acquired this offseason have better track records than the ones we signed last year.  For some reason though, everyone is being stupid negative.  Our safeties and deep pass defense were weak up until last year.  Godfrey was our starting safety up until week two of last year.  I just don't get why you and other dude cannot see that.  Why would you want to go back to that mediocrity?

It also happened less and less once Josh Thomas was benched. But keep on having a selective memory.

How many games did Josh Thomas start from 2008-2013?  Keep being satisfied with mediocrity.  I'm just glad Gettleman won't pay bums like Godfrey huge million dollar contracts in the future.
