hjerry Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Godfrey was good depth? The last year he did anything remotely significant was the 2012 season. He did virtually nothing in 2013 and 2014, then got relegated to third string in 2015. Godfrey got beat out by a second-year 5th-round CB converted to Free Safety (Allen) and an undrafted rookie FA (Therezie). I would consider Dwight Lowery as good depth had he been re-signed by the Falcons, but not Godfrey.I agree. Godfrey was always that extra spot on defense. Only Therezie's inexperience got him on the roster to begin with. He was always the first person that I expected cut, if we needed to add a player. He was bottom of the totem pole, not just at safety, but on all defense.It's the same way that I see Moeaki on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoneOne01 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It'll be nice when we have our linebacker corps straightened out. Getting tired of the Bartu's and the Worrilow's of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel 25:17 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 None of this applies. What you are missing here is that Hawley was never our starter. The entire OL was in flux throughout the offseason, and ultimately it was Person who won the job. It was actually Gino that replaced Hawley as they thought that he was better depth.Worrilow is different. He was named starter by the coaches, named captain by the players, and is currently the one receiving the plays from the sidelines. He also doesn't cost 4 million like Hawley did. Edit: Oh, and also, Halwey's starting spot, was taken by a FA, chosen by the new staff early, who had been on the roster all offseason, while this new guy is a street FA, who has generated zero interest in 6 weeks.So yeah, that too.Like I said... Just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will Happen however, it will more than likely take 2 or 3 seasons for it to solidify as you would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOYLE Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That will Happen however, it will more than likely take 2 or 3 seasons for it to solidify as you would like.What happens if Worrilow gets consistent over the rest of the season.That is not going to be "as he would like" but it is what I think we will see.He is a good linebacker in my opinion. We are weak at safety is the problemI see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If anybody is going to replace Worrilow, it should be Bradford. Where the heII is he?Bradford makes a lot of mental mistakes. He plays with a lot of energy and speed but makes ALOT of simple mistakes that leaves his teammates out to dry. Not yet ready to take a starting role.

We are weak at safety is the problemI see.Safety isn't the issue. Worrilow is not that good in coverage. As for the safeties the weakness in cover 3 is the seam. No safety is gonna stop that because it's by design. The seam, and curls and comebacks. If a TE gets on the seam it's gonna be a catch most of the time so Quinn knows that. The PROBLEM is the linebackers, specifically the middle have to stop the bleeding in the middle of the field. Worrilow is a very good run stopper but he's still the same liability in coverage even tho he's played better in this system. Just doesn't have the speed or hips in coverage.

bossFALCON™ Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Don't know how or why y'all consider worrilow a good Lb. Hard worker and a good story, but he never makes impact plays and is only decent at run defense. Let's not even talk about pass defense.Saying wor is a good lb because of tackle stats is like saying decoud is a good safety because of INTs....or that cam is a top qb because he's scored a lot of total touchdowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealfalcoN Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Team captain ? The only thing worrilow is leading is giving up first downs on third down . Phillip wheeler is a monster and was a stud for the raiders and colts. Oh but the Dolphins . What happened ?? Oh no . I can't think for myself . Yeah look at suh and get back to me about how the Dolphins have been with their free agentsbeing a millionaire in Miami is a tough position to be for a young man especially if they're not focused.

FentayeJones Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Wheeler did it all for the Raiders in 2012, even taking over the green dot and calling the defensive plays after Rolando McClain was demoted. The Raiders asked Wheeler to do too much in 2012, which may have actually hurt his production in some areas. Take some responsibility away from Wheeler and he might be even better than he was in 2012.Wheeler plays with his hair on fire, which is exactly how you want a linebacker to play the game. Wheeler is comfortable dropping into zone coverage and does a good job against slower tight ends in man coverage. Wheeler plays fast, which means he will be prone to misreading a play in the run game on occasion. When Wheeler is in open space, he's a good tackler except that he tends to lead with his helmet (read: penalties). Wheeler played strong-side linebacker for the Raiders in 2012, but he can probably play either outside linebacker spot in a 4-3.A write up on Wheeler right after he signed with the Dolphins in 2013.

Scho, Reed, Durant make a good base set of LBers...but what about nickel in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are weak at safety is the problemI see.Well, as far as what was mentioned before about the LB play, for us to upgrade play we will need a higher talent level to begin with.I am not a Worrilow Hater as I believe he gives all he has every play he is out there. However, he does has deficiencies that I am not sure is within his physical capabilities. I do agree we need more from our safeties in coverage as well but on the flip side of that, we need Backers that can cover as well as it will allow more defensive flexibility.
