In this new offense gets all the benefits NFL.. Bradberry is a better than avg. Cb..

We shouldn't be so unhappy about him..

I think Brad berry is a very good football player.  Quiet player that doesn’t necessarily have a wow factor but he shows up and does his job.  I am good with that.

Playing corner in today's NFL is more difficult than it has ever been. Bradberry is a solid player, anyone that doesn't think so isn't paying attention.

Funny you mention pay attention because that seens to be one of the big things holding Bradberry back. If he would learn how to track the ball better and turn his head around he could take major steps.

The Bradberry / Jackson combo looking forward has me pretty content with our CB situation.

I wonder if we had played the Giants later in the season, if Jackson would have been assigned OBJ. OBJ caught most of the passes in the clip (of course Bradberry was lined up 12 yards off 90% of the season). Not a knock against Bradberry, I just think Jackson's speed might be a better match for a shifty player like OBJ. But that's a lot to ask a rookie in his 4th game.

PS: I forget just how good OBJ is because he's such a little bitch, but that guy can ball.

There's some truth to the old "that's why he plays defense" saying.

i hate to see cornerbacks not play the ball, but bradberry constantly faces players that are quicker/faster than him. he has to track them first and foremost and utilize fundamentals over physical talent.

now if he had jackson's speed...oh boy.

Bradberry is a very solid cover guy and would be a starter on just about any team in the league. He's good, he's darn good. He's also a fair tackler, and that puts him ahead of some premier coverage guys.

We're lucky to have the guy and he's a solid defensive player. When looking at any tape, you have to remember a trio of things: 1) all corners get beat eventually, the idea of a shutdown corner has been pretty much legislated out of the game; 2) the corner's job isn't to intercept, it is to cover in such a way that it forces the opposing QB to move through their progressions, eating up time while mounting pressure pushes the chances of a mistake; 3) a pass interference penalty is sometimes a win.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to give him a large deal after how he performed last season.

 

He's a #2 CB in a league where you need a 1A and 1B.

The rose colored glasses come on for guys who fans were screaming at just a few weeks ago during the offseason.

Much is made of the opponents he faced last season. Well lol, A) Welcome to the NFL and B) you'd like to see him win some of those matchups. Green was dominating him until the injury. Atlanta simply wasn't targeting him with Sanu and Ridley running so free. Beyond those, it was pretty plainly ugly almost across the board.

 

This team can't burn another season because they've got the "he's a fine young man who did some nice things" goggles on.

 

Maybe its just me but im pretty sick of the panthers not playing in the super bowl to be giving hometown benefit of the doubt to middling players.

    • QB: We should look to add a developmental QB late in the draft, IMO. Never hurts to take a shot in the 6th or 7th round. I'm not sure Plummer is that guy. Bonus if it's someone who can be a short-yardage/QB sneak threat. RB: I expect we'll sign a veteran backup and draft one on day 3. Long-term we're in great shape here if Brooks recovers fully and even if he doesn't we only need a solid #2 and some depth. WR: This is a weird position because there is legit potential with what we have on the roster if XL and Coker develop and Thielen is a known quantity at this point, but obviously not a long-term piece at his age. I almost feel like the only sure fire way to upgrade our WR corp this season is to add that true #1 guy because I'm not sure a mid-tier or aging veteran does anything but muddy the water and take snaps away from XL and Coker that they need to develop. I'm still not ruling out a big trade for a true #1 here before the draft (Tee Higgins? Brandon Ayiuk?) but we will almost surely sign at least a veteran for depth. This seems like an obvious day 2 target position in the draft as well. I like Jack Bech from TCU or Ricky White III from UNLV in the 3rd. TE: I think we're done here. I know there's been talk of drafting Tyler Warren, but I honestly don't see it. Had we not re-signed Tremble I might say there's a chance, but he's obviously our TE2 and I don't see them paying him only to draft Tyler Warren, which would put Sanders as TE2 and Tremble as TE3. I could see us maybe adding a blocking TE late in the draft, but we're probably done here. OL: We may legitimately have one of the best AND deepest OLs in the league. Bringing back both Cade Mays and Austin Corbett was a solid move, but managing to re-sign Brady Christensen is massive for depth purposes. I cannot fathom how he didn't have more interest on the open market based on his versatility alone. Even Chandler Zavala showed some signs of life last year after an awful rookie season. I can see us drafting a tackle in the 4th/5th round that we feel has some upside to develop as Taylor Moton's long-term replacement, but we finally seem set here for the first time in years. EDGE: Our biggest need and it's not close. Outside of a trade for someone like Trey Hendrickson I think we almost have to draft two edge rushers in the first 4 rounds, maybe even the first 3. The closer we get to the draft the more I'm starting to think Shemar Stewart is our likely pick at #8. I'm not sure how I feel about that given his lack of sack production, but you can't question the athletic ability. It's almost certainly either him or Jalon Walker. DL: I can see us adding some more FAs for depth before the draft and drafting a player or two as well. The real interesting scenario is if Mason Graham falls to us at #8; I don't think we can pass on him, but where would he play? Do you leave your $50M free agent (Wharton) on the bench? Unlikely since I think Graham is gone before we pick, but something to consider. LB: If there's one position I'd like to see us address other than EDGE and WR it's definitely linebacker. Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace are not exactly the most inspiring tandem, IMO. Wallace flashed last year but is still very raw and Jewell is just a guy. I'd LOVE to see us go after Carson Schwesinger from UCLA, Chris Paul, Jr. from Ole' Miss or Jack Kiser from Notre Dame in the draft. The remaining FA options aren't great. CB: I'd like to see us add an experienced nickel; Mike Hilton from the Bengals would be great. Other than that, unless someone falls to us in the draft I think the most we can expect to add is some depth in the draft or later in free agency. S: We need another starter (preferably someone who is more of a cover guy) and some depth. There are options I like in the draft, but given our other needs I think the safer bet would be signing another free agent to start at FS and drafting some depth. ST: Need a long-term kicker and unless we sign one I fully expect us to draft one on day 3.
