Still gotta figure out our nickel situation.

Yep, Munnerlyn cost us more points/games than anyone on the defense.  He has been absolute trash since he has come back - straight up should not be in the league.  The separation receivers got against him was outrageous....

Can he play free safety?

And what exactly are we basing these opinions of Bradberry on?  interceptions? passes defended?  PFF grade? or the infamous "eye test" which is code for "I make a judgement on a player based off of a few terrible/great plays with no context with every other player in the league at that same position, also I don't actually watch said player unless he is directly involved with the ball"

 

   I’ll go with the “eye test” every time. Especially with a player I’ve seen every snap of. Multiple times on many of them. 

  Why would someone need stats to evaluate a player you see every snap of? What group do you fall into? 

 And he would be a horrible candidate to convert to safety. Strength is press man coverage(when allowed to) with poor ball skills. For example, IMO, Josh Norman would be a perfect fit because his strength is reading and reacting to a QB. And very good ball skills with the ability to still cover most slots one on one if needed.

Like I said Bradberry is a above avg.. CB playing in a NFL that has rigged every benefit to offense..

I don't need to waste time on dudes with 50 post or @Growl.. To see what a talent we have in him..

Is "#1 CB" the next mythical beast on the Huddle? The Huddle has already established that it pretty much takes a HOF lock to qualify as a "#1 WR".

You've got some folks who think if a corner isn't Deion Sanders or Champ Bailey, he isn't any good at all.

I actually find it pretty funny to see folks who knock James Bradberry talk like Donte Jackson is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Jackson has shown so far that he's a very good corner, but he's also proven to be a 'feast or famine' type that will give up nearly as many big plays as he makes.

Even the best of them gives up touchdowns and big plays. And frankly, the rules being what they are today, lockdown corners are going to be extremely hard to find.

Well, the architect of the 11 Safety defense is now part of the Redskins coaching staff, so maybe Norman will get a chance.

A turnover is huge in the outcome of a game.  Passes defended is good, but it doesn't get the defense off the field.  We desperately need more takeaways.

Bradberry is a little better than average.  Jackson has a higher ceiling but got burned waaay to much.  Hopefully he'll grow out of that.
