Another fluff piece but it gives me hope our secondary could be solid. The article says that Seymour will compete with Cockrell for a starting position opposite Bradberry. I am wondering if it might be Seymour and Cockrell as starters and Bradberry relegated to the back up role.

Worst secondary in the NFL. Gonna have to score 30 a game. 

I think that we can score that much with this offense.

I also think that our secondary isn't any worse than last year. Searcy for Coleman is a wash, and I believe Gaulden will eventually be a starter. Our CBs, while not elite, are serviceable, definitely better than last year. This article talks about Seymour (who was taking snaps away from Worley last year) competing with Cockrell, but we also have Doss, who's been a interception machine so far and our 2nd round pick, Jackson! As long as we scheme right, and can pressure the QB without so much blitzing, we'll be fine.

Explain to me how. Would like to hear this. Our safeties have zero experience and Bradberry is a mid-tier corner that wouldn't start on some if not most teams.

Searcy for Coleman isn't a wash. Who the hell is Searcy? Coleman was a veteran that might have fallen off in coverage, but was still a presence. Depending on a third round hybrid safety to "eventually" be our starter is going to cost us games. There needs to be a veteran brought in before camp to learn the system. Our corners being servicable, that would be one, Bradberry. I don't trust Cockrell. That Giants defense was awful. Maybe Jackson steps up, but Michael Thomas, Julio and Evans will tower over him. I fear Jackson is another Captain, except we spent a 2nd on him and not a 7th.

Our safeties have zero experience?  Adams and Searcy are vets with tons of experience...they may have list scstro from age, but saying they have no experience is beyond laughable.

Searcy is a vet

A solid saftey. He's easily just as good if not better than Kurt has been. If he can consistently tackle and not have coverage lapses often he'll be good for us.

There's a reason the saftey market is at a stand still.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
