Godfrey back to S? Per BBR

[UNCrules2187]

Practice over, here’s a note - It appears Charles Godfrey is back at safety.

August 26, 2014

[Mr. Scot]

Wonder how long that lasts.

 

For that matter, wonder how long Godfrey lasts.

Sigh

[Crixtala]

does this make Bene our nickel?

[carolina-chuck]

Smells Terrell Thomas signing soon.

[WhoAmI?]

Smells Terrell Thomas signing soon.

 

I hope.

 

[Mr. Scot]

does this make Bene our nickel?

 

I think he was gonna be anyway.

 

Rivera seems to like Godfrey (hence, why he got a big contract from Hurney).  I'm not so sure Gettleman feels the same.

 

The position switching makes it look like Rivera's almost desperate to find some reason to justify keeping him.

 

Not sure it's gonna work.

 

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Bene has been straight balling all camp and preseason. I think he has been a lock for starting nickel for a while now

[Peppers90 NC]

This IMO was inevitable especially with the injuries to our safeties.  Godfrey will be here this year and gone the next, then the Huddle Collective can find someone else to hate.

agreed

 

I've liked Bene a lot, but Rivera's love for Godfrey has been hard to ignore... he's a guy that on most teams would have been cut this offseason... instead he was given a second chance, and now a third if the move to S is true

[PhillyB]

he may look decent with this front seven. anyone know how he graded out against seattle and the couple of quarters he played in the bills game last year?

[Ruff]

Bene was first in at nickel last game, so, it's fair to say that he's won that job.

Like scot said, I doubt Godfrey is here much longer.

Don't hate him.  Just don't like him at safety.  He doesn't seem to have the football smarts for it. 

 

Corner is a more 'reactive' spot (and the spot he played in college).  Fox and Hurney never should have switched him, but nothing can change that now. 

 

Had he been moved to corner prior to his big injury, I could have seen him succeeding.  Now, he no longer has the physical ability to play corner, and he never had the mental ability to play safety.

 

So whadda ya do?

well now you put him in sub packages where you want your nickel to be a better tackler than Bene, to play zone, blitz and play the run when a team tries to run from passing personnel.  pretty much like the saints will be doing
