I really, really don't understand where all this Bradberry hate is coming from. He's a good player already, and he's showing steady improvement. 

Norman is gone, get over it. 

ummm? Way to over analyze a factual statement.

He didn't though. Just because you think it doesn't make it a fact.

He gave poor effort. Doesn't equal to hate. Jesus Christ.

In all honesty it looks identical to training camp plays where no effort is given to tackle. 

Hmmm...Kinda looks like players that were acquiescing to suggestions to tank for draft position considerations.

Yes.

Expecting a guy to match the speed of Coleman at full speed while barely grasping from behind is now poor effort. Bradberry would effectively have to match that speed or even be faster to have a chance from behind. Most CBs wouldn't be able to do that.

Lord. Next thing you'll tell me is that Thomas Davis is giving poor effort this year because he's not as fast as he used to be.

Had nothing to do with matching Coleman's speed. Based on Bradberry's position there was a clear cut angle for Boston to take on the play....he simply gave up on the play and seemed to assume Bradyberry would make the play ...and then had the nerve to look back at Bradberry for him not doing poo. 

That was garage S play. Not a great move by Coleman.

Confused. I was talking about how Bradberry pretty much had no chance to make that play in reply to someone who said Bradberry gave no effort.

I already agreed Tre Boston completely messed that one up.

Jamal Adams.  We need the damn kid.  We couod have Norman still and still give up plays with Boston back there.  Safety play is Key with Corners (see Sherman/Earl Thomas, Peterson/Mathieu, Peters/Berry) and especially in Zone.  Zone play is all about position, if your out of position it kills everything, Boston is never in position.  Its like watching a athletic version of nakmura.  He gets a occasional sack where he blitzes unblocked or a random int where the QB throws it right to him.  Once the guy gets the ball he is afraid to hit.  Heck we roast Bene for Julios game 1 vs us but Boston deserves a Lot of credit as well, numerous times he was being pointed oit on the tv for being out of position.  After getting roasted a couple of times they showed the corners pointing to him after the play roasting him Coleman was awesome at FS last year and no coincidence he was 2nd in the NFL in ints.  He is good at reading the QB, good ball skills perfect for FS.  Harper was slow as poo but he was always in position and always willing to hit.

Bradberry is a rookie and seeing a safety flying from the other direction its instinct for a guy to slow down.  If Boston kept running he couldve Taylor Mays the RB into him, Or miss and slam into Bradberry.

 

Jamal Adams is a dude who is willing to hit, always in position.  And has great smarts/instincts for a Safety much like Luke at LB.  Boston is the weakest link on D like Remmers at LT is on offense.

Part of me feels like we tanked this game away on purpose. I mean we were playing receivers that haven't played the whole year towards the end.

imo I think there is too much emphasis on trying to strip the ball that players are not even trying to tackle. everyone is trying to make "the play".  Not playing as a collective unit.  That falls on coaching.

Gotta get good at the boring stuff first before you move onto trying the sexy stuff

Rivera said he would have preferred Bradbury try to tackle the legs than try to strip.

Proof that SS is a need.

Then he tries to look at Bradberry like it's his fault...

After he successfully picks Bradberry essentially, taking him out of the play.
