I just mentioned this but I'll say it here since it's more specified. 

 

I thought Bradberry had a pretty poor outing yesterday, but he looked real good doing it. Legitimate h/w/s prospect.

Josh looked pretty poor much of last training camp against KB. I was actually encouraged by his performance.

Josh wasn't NEEDED to be good right away - he grew into his role..

in 12, his rookie year, we had Gamble and Munnerlyn.. Josh showed flashes but wasn't truly ready yet.. 
in 13, we had Munnerlyn and Florence.. he would see time sparingly but then sent to the 'dog house'..
14 and 15 is when he finally put it together..

I hope Ron and the coaching staff can get these guys ready to play in the NFL in 3.5 weeks.. ::eek::

I think you're forgetting White, he did some real work and really never got much praise. At the same time, when he screwed up, he screwed up baaad.

Funny how much people forget. Go look at snap counts. Norman played more in 2012 than he did in 2014. He played 96% in 2015, 61% in 2014 and 73% in 2012. He had more tackles in 2012 than any other year in his career. Gamble only played 26% in 2012.

Facts.. they kill me.....

no, i knew Gamble was injured week 4 and Norman played most of the remainder of the year.. but again, im not saying thay can't step up and really play well for us this year - i am just nervous we have 3 rookies being relied on for major contributions this year

Bradberry came from a very small college program. Every rookie experiences a big step up in competition going to the NFL, but what Bradberry and other small school prospects experience is a lot different than a guy who played at Alabama or USC or another collegiate powerhouse. I'd be shocked if he didn't have a lot of early struggles. The only things I really care about right now with him are judgements about his athleticism and instincts. You can't really teach those things. You can teach technique. In our zone scheme, instincts trump just about everything else.

Actually I hope he doesnt start right away.  I would like Bene to get healthy and for McClain and he to start.  Let the rookies ease into the rotation without pressure or undo expectations.  Honestly a superbowl caliber team doesnt need rookies starting anywhere on their team.

I agree.

I think Dave will actually be looking for another Peanut type player to get cut and bring in.  A savy old vet to help all these young DBs get it together and take an early role.

rookie DBs most likely won't be ready for much of a role when things kick off.  Takes awhile for them to learn and be trusted to even be in position if given much more than spot work.

    • Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.      
    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then. 
    • Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
