Well, if you're a football maniac, this CB handbook would be just right for you. In-depth analysis, breakdown, and expectations for every NFL corner going forward for you to enjoy and analyze.

Anyways, here's how James Bradberry fared against certain types of routes.

What does show and pop out is how well James Bradberry is with press coverage. Very promising when going against the big physical receivers of the NFC South. However, it's clear he still has some work cut out ahead of him, but certainly should theoretically help for us not to be predictably blitzing so much. 

Go ahead and voice your thoughts below.

That chart doesn't support he is great at press coverage versus off man or zone coverage. In fact based on the last half of the season he appears better in zone than man. Secondly it doesn't show if he got any help, how many successes were drops versus passes intercepted or deflected.

Didn't read through the whole handbook but from what you posted no pattern is clear. Secondly how does he compare to the average corner in the NFL.

 

Just saying......

26. James Bradberry, Carolina Panthers

Coverage: 16/25
Reaction: 17/25
Recovery: 19/25
Tackling: 12/15
Position Value: 10/10
Overall Grade: 74/100

As one of the biggest cornerbacks in the league, it's fitting that James Bradberry (6'1", 212 lbs) is also one of the best run-stoppers at the position. He's a great fit for the Panthers' zone-heavy approach, as his length and willingness to drop into running lanes helped build a great defense. Where Bradberry struggles is in coverage, though. He's prone to getting lost in his assigned zone, and physically he's not as smooth in man coverage as he needs to be when facing the tough NFC South. He'll need to continue developing his route recognition and balance in order to be a more effective coverage talent.

Thanks for this. I knew the commentary part already and would agree for the most part. Still it didn't address my previous post. I didn't see that he was better in man than zone and how did his success rate compare to other corners. What you gave me was an overall evaluation about where he stood compared to other corners in this evaluator opinion which again I appreciate and support. But can you answer my comments specifically or not. It is fine to say no I can't or it wasn't mentioned. It isn't a criticism so much as trying to ascertain what it means

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
