Teal over Godfrey?

[SCpanther]

I really think they should consider it if Teal continues to impress. Nothing against Godfrey, because he was decent for a rookie safety. Teal just seems to be more of a play maker. I'd like to see him get some time with the ones this preseason.

If they wouldn't start Teal over Godfrey when he had no experience, I highly doubt they do it with a year under his belt.

Teal did make some nice plays last night, though.

I think it should be an open competition. But I doubt it will be. Godfrey wasn't impressive last year. Last night, he again appeared to be the weakest of a weak bunch. Godfrey seems more like a CB than a S....maybe Fox made in error there.

Teal made more then a few nice plays, he made a lot. Even when he didn't make the play himself he was real close to it. If he keeps playing like he did last night he should start.

To be completely honest with you, when I made the Cherry thread, Teal came in my mind and I forgot about him

Me personally, I definitely liked what I saw. He has speed and instincts. I liked the pick, and the blitz. Good thread, definitely would like to know what others thought too

I'm iffy on Godfrey, I haven't seen much from him. Haven't heard much about him in camp either. Not a good sign

I have been a fan of Teal since day one. It is a shame Fox stuck with Salley last year as the top back up because I think Teal would have been better on the field.

I'm a big Teal fan that doesnt understand why people say he sucks and should be cut, but I don't think we should go that far yet. Godfrey was pretty darn good early on last year. He defintly helped win that Cardinal game last year on that special team save.

yeah i agree.

i dont see teal starting over godfrey. especially since he didnt when godfrey was a rookie.

He also did it against 2-3 teamers lets not get crazy. Give Godfrey a chance before we dog him. He wasn't that bad for a rookie. Sean taylor (god rest his soul) wasn't great his 1st season neither was landry or mayweather.

Perhaps you guys are right. Every offseason, some players take steps back while others take steps forward. But I have to think Fox gives Godfrey at least another year to really learn the position.

With little pressure from the defensive line as a whole, it's tough to really envision who is going to step up in the secondary. Teal was about the only bright spot of the bunch last night, and that's saying something when Harris and Gamble are out there. I didn't get to watch the game as closely as I wanted due to a family issue: was Godfrey with the ones? Did he play more than a few series?

Teal was making plays against the 1st stringers too if I remember correctly.

Secondaries look like poo when the defensive line doesn't do much.

No he played with the 2 and 3. He did get the int on Woodson and that was when the dLine was getting pressure. Godfrey didn't have that help from the 1st team D.
