To me, this was one of the most impressive plays of the night. Demarco Murray is one of the toughest guys in the league to bring down and Bradberry did an admirable job despite getting stiff armed initially. His play has been really encouraging so far

I think our coaches had to be pretty pleased with the physicality and tackling of our rookie CBs yesterday for the most part.  Obviously they don't get the same kind of tacking opportunities in practice, so seeing them do it live is a very good thing, it was one of the unknowns.. They may have ball skills, but how would they do in run support.  I thought for pre-season game 2 as rookies they looked ok. 

Ricky Proehl commented in an interview that Steven Hill was "getting ready to make him famous" given his improvement prior to his injury last season.   These rookie CBs might just make our DB coaches famous this season if they continue to improve and grow at the rate we're seeing.

Do you know how hard it is to bring Murray down 1-on-1 in open field? Many have tried, few have actually done it. His stiff arm is lethal and Bradberry just took it and hawked him out of bounds. Unbelievable play by Bradberry. He also had another one on Murray later on that was impressive. I had no idea his run support was like that.

Can't tell you how much this encourages me about Bradberry.  That is  rookie corner. Look at that reaction to the ball and toughness that follows.

By the way Jeremy, this is the kind of post that makes the Huddle so amazing.  You are so talented at picking out key plays and noticing details through the lens of your camera.  I have learned SO much about football in the past 2 years and am understanding what to watch for in games because of posts like this.   Keep it up, and THANK YOU!

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
