We've handled each team's best receivers so far, I think we're good there. I am more worried about stopping their rushing game. 

Good point, I just watched highlights from a few games which doesn't much but Te-Vance keeps them churning up and down the field we definitely need to contain Conner which coming from our division isn't a tall task we contain much more talented and diverse backs this season. And it seems the run defense has improved every week since Reid got here.

Bradberry is a good corner, there is no doubt.  He does everything you want a corner to do except..... get interceptions.  He just does not play the ball well.  He tackles, is never out of position, jams at the line, breaks up passes, but never seems to find the ball in the air.  Jackson in 8 games has as many picks as Bradberry has in his career.  Great player.  Not great at getting turnovers.

Our CBs seem to play better when they are allowed to play up closer to the line. Bad thing is we play 20-30 yards off for 95% of our defensive plays. Still not liking Eric Washington and if Rivera is still the defensive genius he used to be, he should be able to correct it. Hopefully it's not too late before he does.

    • 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.
    • 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
