Calling NFL caliber athletes pussies is childish at best.

Safties aren't supposed to be taking on a RB one on one at the goal line. That's a breakdown in the front 7. It shouldn't be up to him to make that tackle. If your safeties are the first guys touching the RB then your defense 100% failed that play and you will get gashed: see Lions @ Panthers 2008.

Expecting him to get the better of any RB with a full head of steam is unrealistic. With the way the D-line has been playing it's amazing that they haven't been blown out every single game. Give the back 7 some defensive tackles and people will be signing his praises.

There isn't anything to interpret about that play. Godfrey squared up and at least tried to take him down. It's obvious through how he finished that he did not want to take on a RB at full stride. But he at least tried, I don't know how many players are going go 110% for a lame duck coach on a 1-9 football team.

Godfrey is catching way too much flak. He's played poorly but calling him soft and a pussy is way too far. People need to act like adults.

If you play any level of football on defense you are going to get trucked, it's a fact. There are many things to pick on Godfrey for but that play isn't one of them. Many DBs (Cromartie in the playoffs) would half ass it and whiff, at least he stuck his nose in there during a meaningless game.

Hell, even Merriman got blown up by MJD, is he a pussy?

I love how everyone on this board acts like Godfrey is the worst player on this team. How bout those DT's that are never in on any play? Huh? Godfrey is incredibly inconsistent yes, but he has improved and still could be a great safety in the league. It would be great if we tried him at corner at the end of this year if we lose Marshall then move Pugh to starting safety.

Oh come on now. I saw Ed Johnson make a great tackle and he was only about 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. That's much better than Hayden who's normally about 6 or 7.

what is funny is Godfrey has started every game he has been healthy for what will be 3 seasons........

......and Chris Gamble was benched today b/c of performance.

the problem with Godfrey is inconsistency. the guy makes a good play or two each game but then gives it totally away by taking bad angles on the run or totally failing to cover the TE. He gives up to many big plays by taking terrible angles. The question is if this is due to poor ability or poor coaching?

Godfrey is a decent hitter and can get to the ball at times but his coverage skill and the angles he takes have hurt this team. If he is better coached this may be solved idk. Trust me i am as frustrated with him as anyone on the entire team.
