Who should/will cover Antonio Brown: Bradberry or Jackson?

So far this season, Bradberry has shadowed the team's #1 WR while Jackson takes care of the second man.  Jackson did take on the challenge of Brown in the Ravens game who you could argue is truly the Ravens #1 over Crabtree, but that would be about it.

Bradberry has always been very good, if not elite, at guarding bigger WRs ala Evans but not so much against quicker guys who like Brown.  Do you think Jackson should take on this task or should we leave it as is?  

Lets be honest.  Antonio Brown is a Hall of Famer.  Arguably one of the 10 greatest WRs to ever play this game.  He's gonna get his.  So it is a matter of which CB you think is best suited to slow him down.

In my opinion, we should put Bradberry on JuJu and Jackson on Brown.

Bradbury tends to work against the big receivers. Jackson covers the faster receivers.

Given that Brown isn't exactly huge, I'd probably put Jackson on him. We'll see what the coaching staff does.

Yeah I would expect Jackson on Brown. Still he won't be on a island.

It doesn't matter if we decide to play 20 yards off of him the entire game.

yep this is pretty much the key of the game. If our DBs aren't allowed to get physical with the Saints WRs then we'll get roasted as expected. Because our pass rush isnt consistently good enough otherwise to just keep dropping back in zone and expect anything good to come out of that.

This.....Brown is quick!!  He will burn Bradberry here and there.  Jackson a bit quicker so he should cover.  The panthers offense needs to come out hot again, we gonna need it!  The Bucs closed a 28 point gap to one score game at one point, Big Ben isn't gonna sweat it.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
