Griffin should start at free safety...

EVeryone knows this

 

"Why is Griffen not starting a FS?" is becoming the new "Why is Lamont starting at FS?"

Let's hope this one doesn't take years to be resolved.

 

yeah.. hopefully we'll see Fisher mix Griffin into the mix.. kid is too good to leave off the field

 

I don't even care that he isn't starting, I just wish he could get some PT on defense period. Can they not at least throw him in for a few plays here and there?

 

Lowery broke up a few passes yesterday. I thought he played well.

 

on the whole he played very well.. unfortunately he'll be remembered for that absolutely horrible decision to try to intercept as opposed to knock down the ball when it really mattered.. I just want to see our first round pick out there doing his thing...

 

I can't wait to see Griff get in on D, but I've been sold on the idea of seeing him at corner. Especially in our D, a great corner can make much more of an impact that a great FS. I'm glad he wasn't thrown in the mix as a starter too soon and he's had time to learn the defense and settle in. But I agree with your list of skills - he's excelled in everything we've asked him to do. Best of all, his tackles on special teams have shown that he has a fantastic sense of angles and timing... something that has been the weakness of our secondary. I'd like to see him get worked into the rotation sooner than later.

Griffin/Finnegan would be a really solid pair. If/when Pac comes back we could be looking at a fantastic turnaround for our pass D. Run D went from almost last to 1st. Pass D is just a couple of cogs away from that, and Griff/Pac could be all we need.

 

agree with it all, but if Pac DOES come back I would definitely have to say move Griffin to FS and let Finnegan and Pac play the corners... if we could have a ballhawk back at FS like the Ravens and Eagles have, it would elevate our defensive secondary to another plane...

imagine CB Pac
CB Finnegan
FS Griffin
SS Hope

friggin' sweet

 

for now, I'd settle for Griff @ Corner
I think Lowry and Fuller can handle the safety rotation

it seems to be more of a liability to leave Harper out there
