Gil Brandt: James Bradberry Has the Lowest DB Burn Rate Through 2 Weeks

Hey CPK, some stats or what some of us call facts/reality:

Through 2 games, Bradberry has 8 tackles, 3 pass defenses and 1 INT. For the year, that would be 64 tackles, 24 pass defenses and 8 INTs. Josh Norman, who I know is a stud CB, had 56 tackles, 19 pass defenses and 4 INTs in 2015, his best year for all of those categories except tackles (73 in his rookie year). He only had 7 pass defenses and 1 INT in his first two years combined. Try as you may to disparage Bradberry, but he's already had a great start in PDef/INTs and is way ahead of where Norman was his first two years. Again, I am not disparaging Norman, who is a freaking stud, period. This is solely about how good Bradberry looks as a rookie and his potential that guys like Kuechly can recognize.

Extrapolation should always be used as fact. Ignore the weaknesses of Bradberry and just celebrate his success like he is an all pro headed to the HoF that will solidify the secondary and shut down receivers all season long. Especially, when it is extrapolation based on Simiean and Gabbert.

Here is Chip Kelly speaking about the play, but I guess Rivera is the football god and Kelly should not be coaching football at any level.

 Chip Kelly on Bradberry's coverage:

"He leaned to the corner and then came back to the post. The DB [Bradberry] just bought the move to the corner. Good route by him [Smith]."

Can not argue with that.

Can't argue with Chip Kelly's coaching?

So apparently Kelly is familiar with our defensive playcalls, yet still couldn't beat us.

it's almost time for the next game and it's still arguments over who gave up a touchdown in the last game....

From James Bradberry on the TD he acknowledges was his fault:

from Black and Blue Review

Quote

"When I gave up that touchdown," he said. "I had my eyes in the wrong place." - James Bradberry

Rivera makes excuses for him, PFF makes excuses for him and fans are making excuses for him. Bradberry acknowledges he messed up again by allowing the TD to Smith.

Now he faces Bradford. Still on the lower level of QB talent, but better than what he has faced in the previous 2 weeks. To top it off he has to cover Stefon Diggs who is better than Demaryius Thomas and Torrey Smith. He can not get beat or keep having dirty eyes like he has in the past 2 games. 

Also, when Kuechly tells you 'High Wide' pre snap, then you stay on the top of the WR. Kuechly told Bradberry and he still gave up the TD and bit on the double move. If Luke says stay high on the WR, then stay high on the WR. If he did, Gabbert does not even attempt that throw.

He's played good these last two games. But let's see how he does against an above average QB before we start crowning him. You can make the case Seimian and Gabbert are the two worst starting QB's in the league.
