Sherrod Martin could start

[scpanther22]

Its going to be a long day for him.

This year, the Panthers' second second-rounder has yet to record a tackle on defense (though he does have three special teams stops), but could be the last line of defense against Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and company Sunday. That's a tough spot for a guy who lost out on playing time to seventh-rounder Captain Munnerlyn after a quiet training camp

I think he translates better to safety than anything else. Hopefully he plays well and keeps the starting FS spot over Godfrey.

I know we all complained about Gamble not being on Fitz last go round....for some strange reason I wouldn't mind Captain getting some time w/ him. He is by far the most aggressive of the bunch.

Hopefully Martin shows us something to justify his pick....maybe he will show more in his natural spot.

Oh jesus. How many TDs for Boldin/Fitzgerald Sunday?

Over/under 3.5

With our offense I would say under 3.5

More will not be necessary.

Atleast he's playing the position he did in college.

i'm looking forward to it. that is where he should be playing anyway.

i'd like to see what he could do at safety. it's better than having teal there, imo.

at this rate any change i'm going to be happy with. just shows that they are losing some of their inhibition as far as using the younger unproven players.

just a baby step towards moore getting the start *waiting for catdaddy to start going on a tirade about how moore isn't the savior or something*

I am pretty sure we will see a repeat of some things defensively in comparison to the last game. I bet Carolina won't bring enough pressure the 1st half which will be costly for the questionable secondary.

Ray is sneaky.

And I am too

We don't play man to man, it won't matter who is on him at the line, they will just let him run free in the middle of the field to be picked up by a backer or safety.

Just like last year.

I agree. If he were filling in at corner, I'd be concerned.

But let's face it: Martin probably won't be much of a dropoff from Godfrey, who really hasn't impressed me at all this season.

not sure you noticed this but they are doing a good bit of man coverage this year. they are mixing it up a good bit.

New defensive coordinator = small possibility of playing differently.
