James Bradberry - Legend in the Making

[Saca312]

ESPN First Take gives me ulcers.

[/url] Look at that. James Bradberry, the man - the myth - the legend - comes out from one end of the field to help bail out Coleman with a huge pass deflection. Shows exceptional instincts, knowledge of the game, and amazing skills. He reads Drew Brees, knows exactly where he's throwing, and goes out and makes a play while Coleman was left in the dust.

Just stunningly beautiful.

He comes up and makes plays. Sure, he doesn't get the interceptions that everyone loves and adores, but with all these pass deflections and covering he does at this stage in his rookie year, imagine his future.

James Bradberry is living up to the hype. Amari Cooper is about to have a rough time against the new 24.

(New post coming up real soon! Stay tuned!)

Already wearing golden jacket now?

Nice thread.  Can't wait to see someone come in and cry about it

Sure he's great at coverage but can he play LT?

Now all we need is Worley to not be terrible.  Easier said then done though.  

But he's not tho

Let me know when he does this on a play that matters and impacts the game. They still scored a TD on that drive. This was a good play, but it is a FLASH. You do not make pro bowls and the hall of fame to become a legend with a FLASH every few games. He should not be starting this year, and he will take at least 3 seasons to develop. See Kony Ealy - who is clearly not a capable starter.

As for the press coverage, that was a clear out route. The receiver is suppose to keep him close and shield him from the play. If any CB gets beat badly on a clear out route, I would be very concerned.

When he becomes consistent and makes plays in pressure situations to end a drive or impact the game, then I will gladly acknowledge him as a legit starter. His run defense still sucks and he does not like to give up his body and hit ball carriers. He also needs to stop giving up 1st downs. He is consistent at that part of the game - giving up 1st downs.

We don't need you to acknowledge him as a starter.  No one cares about your opinion..  We all just laugh about it

Agree to disagree.

Super solid. Love the way this kid wraps up and is an eager participant in run defense. Anybody still pouting about him missing one tackle early in the year probably thinks pass deflections only matter if it ends a drive/game.

Big time, heads up play by a rookie. I'm really excited for Bradberry. Would have loved to see him across from JNo this season but it is what it is on that.

You moved the goalposts - that breakup did make a difference in a pressure situation. You can't knock him and discount any good plays simply because the rest of the defense ended up giving up points. Also, if that jam WAS an out route then Bradberry succeeded 100% in taking his receiver out of the play. Can't ask for much more.

I'm not saying that he doesn't have a long, long way to go (he does) or that he's already at Norman level (he's not). You said to show you a play that makes a difference, and there it is.

Will be better than Josh, just not as cool. @Jeremy Igo get the rookie corners on the podcast!

James is a quiet, soft spoken guy. Would be difficult but I will try.

Get Worley on the Podcast and ask him what it's like knowing he's going to give up a 10+ yard catch every time the ball is thrown to his side?

Not to just be a dick, but this statement has a lot of truth to it.

Not sure anyone respects his opinion.

How can anyone respect his opinion?  He just flings poo till something sticks.  His first sentence is laughably ignorant, and makes it impossible to take anything he says seriously.  " Let me know when he does this on a play that matters and impacts the game."  Really?  The OP posted a video of the kid breaking up a sure TD.  Most people with a brain in their head, would consider that a play that matters, and impacts the game.  However, because NO scored on that drive, his TD saving play makes him a dud.  Doesn't matter that the play was away from him... dud... shouldn't be starting...

kind of like the people who would argue day and night that we won't know if cam is really a franchise quarterback until he has a walk-off game winning touchdown to win 49-48 in blizzard conditions in the NFC championship game at lambeau or something similar

dude formed an opinion of bradberry the nanosecond he was drafted and anything and everything that happens from here on out is going to be from-fitted to his worldview.  it's dogmatic, and actually kind of funny considering the unrelenting criticism he levies at gettleman for his stubborn nature.
