Godfrey Extended

[AceMan]

In today's news, "alot" still isn't a word.

This is English class?

I'm sorry, not enough lube?

You offering?

[Jackofalltrades]

This is English class?

It is when I'm around.

Godfrey isn't top flight but i've always liked him. He isn't afraid to run up and hit someone. I think this will be a big year for him. If and only if we can get some D-line help. Till then the QB's are going to pick us apart

[Fan01]

I think Hurney and Rivera are in a much better position than I to say if C-God is worth the money. Rivera obviously thinks that in his system C-God is worth that money. Doesn't mean they'll turn out to be right or wrong but I'll defer my opinion to that of the guy with a lifetime of playing and coach experience who sees him everyday.

Ok, so isn't being in position to catch a tipped ball part of having good coverage. I've never seen a fan base complain so much about the way a player gets int's, would you prefer he dropped them. Also no one says you can't judge a player but unless you have access to "coach film" that allows you to see how Godfrey performs on a play from start to finish, don't try to judge him by the tail end of a play that you see. This forum isn't smarter than two coaching staffs

Ohhh yea nice try with the Foster thing....cute

No. You don't have to be in position and where you need to be to catch a ball batted up another defender has attempted to make a play on.

No, I wouldn't prefer he dropped them....I would give those random INTs up for him to be more consistant in his coverage though. There are some plays you don't need coaches film to see someone blow an assignment or get beat like a drum.

No one is claiming to be smarter than the coaches. Extending Delhomme was a dumb move.....Gamble was overpaid.....Marty has made many mistakes. He has made many that fans have been able to intelligently call ahead of time.

There's no denying his coverage at times leaves more to be desired. But you cannot discount the value of turnovers. This guy is still young, and I do think he can be a very good defender as he matures as a player.

Despite popular belief. It is ok to disagree with a move your team makes, and still be considered a fan.IE-Cleveland wanting to kill Testaverde and Belichick back in the day. And the dog pound has some of the greatest fans around. They way I see it is that to win a super bowl you have to have at least a few of the most dominating players at their position. He is clearly average at best, he could not go to an elite team in the NFL and start. To me on defense Beason and Anderson are all alone and this doesn't help much.

Many people are claiming to be smarter than the coaches. Not coming and saying it. But unless you know where godfrey is coached to be by our coaches, you really have no base line to even judge.

I can't believe how many people complain about how godfrey gets his interceptions.

And unless you are willing to admit Minter was worse in coverage, the argument is a moot point. Godfrey is a good safety. No, he isn't elite. There are only a few elite safeties...most teams do not have elite safeties. Get over your weak arguments, and move on.

Ya don't have to have an elite safety to have an elite defense.

[Dpantherman]

And to dispel something rather quickly, I want to know who said disagree with the team makes you less of a fan. I want specific examples because I think its BS.

[mcribbz]

Not complaining and definitely not claiming to be smarter than the coaches. Just saying that they do make mistakes. I am just sayin to win the super bowl we are going to need more than just guys to fill the need. We need top players at their positions at least a few. Ask yourself seriously how many teams he starts on. None of them makes the playoffs. Oh and by the way I could care less how he gets interceptions as long as he gets them. And I hope he can make a tackle tomorrow or Fitz will have a field day.

I am not dragging examples for you. All you have to do is read. Every time someone has an opinion here, they think they are smarter than coaches or they or trolls. All of us want the same thing WINS and most of us will not agree how to do it. Does not make anyone smarter than anyone else, just fans frustrated with losing and giving top money to an average player.

I thought he was getting moved to corner?

Thing is, EVERYONE is frustrated.

And just so you know, Godfrey didn't get "Top Money".
