Will Godfrey move to SS?

[CRA]

in this system i think SS and FS will be in name only for the most part. both will have pretty much the exact same responsibilities, just on either side of the field.

sooo...doesn't really matter what title you give either one. job will be the same.

maybe on downs we play a legit cover 2 they are the same....but I would wager most downs we won't be in a legit cover 2 scheme. Especially if the DL struggles as is a realistic projection.

I don't think it matters. Martin I think as of right now projects a little better at both spots than Godfrey based on what we have seen.

Martin is the better ballhawk and will be the FS while Godfrey is the SS.

Godfrey vs Bush/Pierre Thomas, Graham/Williams, and Turner/Norwood.

I'm afraid.

I don't know about 40 times, but Martin sure looks faster than Godfrey on the field. That kid can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time.

[pantherclaw]

I really don't care whom is named SS and FS.

Seriously, we have the most athletic pairs of safeties we've had in the history of the Panthers. I like that. Martin looked the part of an all pro safety when he was on the field last year.

I hope they both remain healthy.

I would rather see Godfrey at FS due to size and nature of play, whereas Martin is a little bigger and better against the run, so he's a better fit at SS.

This:iagree: and add to that we drop our SS a lot in the box around our 20 yard line. I would rather have Martin being there then Godfrey who has missed some tackles in the past.

Cover 2 so no one will be man to man. If we do go man then Im with ya on that.

[Super-Man]

Godfrey will play SS he wears my crest on his right hand so he wants to knock people out!

I expect we will play man under more this year. We have been collected DBs with better coverage skills to make the conversion. A cover 1 man under is one of the most aggressive shells we can run and will greatly help buy time for the D line to get to the quarterback.

Lets again look at the numbers on Godfrey, Harris, and Martin. Very interesting.

I think Martin showed he has the better instincts at free safety.

Godfrey's dished a hit or two, so I'll take him at the strong spot.

Ask yourself this question. Who do you want hammering lead blocks and trying to contain a RB? Martin or Godfrey? I'll take Godfrey because he has a thicker build, and a lower center of gravity than Martin.

Godfrey vs Bush/Pierre Thomas, Graham/Williams, and Turner/Norwood.

I'm afraid.

Based on what? The fact that he played lights out towards the end of the season when he returned from injury? Or the fact that he leads all our returning players in caused turnovers?
