Robert Lester - Time to bring him back?

[NYPantherFan]

Is it time to sign Lester off the practice squad? He would give this secondary a boost and spell the AARP members we have at safety.

He can't be any worse than Godfrey at this point

[Jeremy Igo]

He doesn't play nickel.

Right.. Godfrey mixes in at both safety and nickel. With Bene out Godfrey shown yesterday why he shouldn't be a nickel DB.

Just stating Lester might be worth a roster spot over Godfrey

[JJman]

Lester > Godfrey in every single possible scenario I can think of. I'd imagine we'd of cut Godfrey by now had he not taken that pay cut.

[Dex]

Lester took some pretty horrific angles.

I rather see what Boston is about

DeCoud and Harper have been better than him. Godfrey sucks at nickel but Lester would be even worse. Sucks but we'll have to live with Godfrey until Bene's healthy.

Lester > Boston

Me to.  First, Lester isn't going to be signed to take over at nickel, because he's not a CB.  Second, He has enough problems playing safety.  If you bring him in, you just have a less knowledgeable Harper.  They're basically of the same mold.  People harp on Boston's Senior year being bad, but forget he was injured the whole season with that hernia.  He opted not to have surgery so he wouldn't completely fall out of the draft, and had it taken care of later.  I think Boston's going to be pretty good.

If he's comfortable in the defense, I wouldn't mind it.  At least he has the speed to potentially recover.  Harper is taking a lot bad reads and bad angles out there and he's so slow that one misstep takes him completely out of the play.  Lester is younger, but I'm not sure he's any faster.

 

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?  We've given up 30+ in four straight games.  What we're doing right now obviously isn't working.

 

Really hoping Bene gets back soon.  Godfrey at nickel is absolutely painful.  Dalton simply looked for whoever he was attempting to cover on 3rd down in the 1st half and was making a living off of abusing Godfrey, which honestly wasn't too difficult.

I don't understand bringing in Dockery and not using him. Godfrey was God awful but still played the entire game. There are some serviceable FA that could play nickel for us. At least bring in some speed. Godfrey is slow as dirt now. He doesn't look confident on that Achilles.

Yeah, I really didn't understand why we stuck with Godfrey.  He was getting absolutely abused out there.

Did Dockery see the field much on Sunday?  He's probably still shaking off some rust.

[Gucci Mane]

You could combine harpers best qualities with godfreys and lester would still be an upgrade.
