Who should/will cover Antonio Brown: Bradberry or Jackson?

So far this season, Bradberry has shadowed the team's #1 WR while Jackson takes care of the second man.  Jackson did take on the challenge of Brown in the Ravens game who you could argue is truly the Ravens #1 over Crabtree, but that would be about it.

Bradberry has always been very good, if not elite, at guarding bigger WRs ala Evans but not so much against quicker guys who like Brown.  Do you think Jackson should take on this task or should we leave it as is?  

Lets be honest.  Antonio Brown is a Hall of Famer.  Arguably one of the 10 greatest WRs to ever play this game.  He's gonna get his.  So it is a matter of which CB you think is best suited to slow him down.

In my opinion, we should put Bradberry on JuJu and Jackson on Brown.

Bradbury tends to work against the big receivers. Jackson covers the faster receivers.

Given that Brown isn't exactly huge, I'd probably put Jackson on him. We'll see what the coaching staff does.

Yeah I would expect Jackson on Brown. Still he won't be on a island.

It doesn't matter if we decide to play 20 yards off of him the entire game.

yep this is pretty much the key of the game. If our DBs aren't allowed to get physical with the Saints WRs then we'll get roasted as expected. Because our pass rush isnt consistently good enough otherwise to just keep dropping back in zone and expect anything good to come out of that.

This.....Brown is quick!!  He will burn Bradberry here and there.  Jackson a bit quicker so he should cover.  The panthers offense needs to come out hot again, we gonna need it!  The Bucs closed a 28 point gap to one score game at one point, Big Ben isn't gonna sweat it.

    • Exactly he has had some bad drops but he made some hard catches it’s almost like he a rookie but i could be mistaken . 
    • I'm being careful not to raise my expectations too much. Our offense could be to where we could score closer to 20 points than 10 like last season. Our defense is still really bad, however. I'm ultimately more about our team continuing to fight regardless of the long odds like with today.
    • Not being mentioned much but just having Thielen back was a boost for Bryce, basically his original reliable go-to from his rookie season. As for David Moore being a major factor today, that's an odd one. My guess is a combination of Thielen being back drawing better matchups for everyone else and essentially doing all the stuff Coker would've done but better because he has much more experience in this system. Could've also been by design from Canales because Moore got ten targets today.
