James Bradberry showing up in Year 3

One player I hope to see get over their sophomore slump happens to be James Bradberry.

And so far during camp, he’s doing quite well.

On this play, Bradberry’s employing press coverage on DJ Moore. While I do admit Moore’s weakness is beating press, this snap right here he does little wrong. 

Moore gets a good release on this play on Bradberry. However, the third year corner keeps with the speedy rookie. Bradberry maintains position and anticipates the shoulder fade was coming, so he doesn’t flinch and maintain position to break up the ball.

And before one of you say “hur dur terrible throw” since I know there will be “teh Huddle Expurts” coming in with what you deem to be “expurt analysus,” understand that shoulder fades tend to have the QB aim right at the corner while the WR reacts. So yes, the throw was fine. Bradberry just made an incredible play.

It's too early, in my opinion, to be drawing general conclusions. I think that everyone desires to see Bradberry (and everyone else) improve. Unless he craps the bed in multiple preseason games or something, we're not going to see enough to make sweeping statements until probably somewhere between weeks three and five. Just my opinion. All we can do now is hope that the light switch has been turned on, but we'll know in several weeks.

Umm yes, Saftey play around him made that man look better than what he is. He is good but not good as Bradberry. What kind of secondary coverage did the Saints play by the way , I know it was different from the typical NFL norm?

He is better than Lattimore.

This is a good argument because after JB's first year he was rated equal with Jalen Ramsey. His second year was a slump and Jalen continued to improve on his first year. We have to see how Latt plays this year before really debating this topic.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
