Rivera's camp wrap interview

[Udogg]

I didn't say he was the worst S in the league in this thread.

The WE was clearly someone nitpicking a single word. Godfrey has been a below average S over the last 4 yrs.....not sure why people can't handle that yet so easily throw other players under the bus over 1 season (when he has 4).

Probably because the way you feel about Godfrey, I feel about Martin. However it seems like Martin is the only one in danger of losing his starting position. I wonder why? Maybe WE are missing something.

SS typically comes down for run support.

Yeah I know, but I'm not talking pre-snap though.

SS typically comes down for run support.

Clearly.

But what he is saying is that our defense has so many holes he was forced to make more tackles than needed. He lacks the tackling ability or "want to" to be much of help in the run game. But with the way our defense is, he will have to be called on for tackling more than he probably wants to.

gotcha, I had to reread that to gain context.

Not sure why you can't handle Godfrey not being as bad as you claim either, but it is what it is.

Errr.... I mean it's a process.

claiming he isn't as bad as I claim....means you think he is at worst average. Go check out someone like PFF view of Godfrey over the last 4 years. He has graded out as around the 40th to 60th best S in the league each year.

Being good in aiding in coverage and tracking down runners in the open field are the basics of being a S....and what he struggles at most. So him being able to occassionally pop someone before they become a runner.....doesn't make up enough to make him average thus far in his career his career.
