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.

    • Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.
    • Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.  
    • I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
