In this new offense gets all the benefits NFL.. Bradberry is a better than avg. Cb..

We shouldn't be so unhappy about him..

I think Brad berry is a very good football player.  Quiet player that doesn’t necessarily have a wow factor but he shows up and does his job.  I am good with that.

Playing corner in today's NFL is more difficult than it has ever been. Bradberry is a solid player, anyone that doesn't think so isn't paying attention.

Funny you mention pay attention because that seens to be one of the big things holding Bradberry back. If he would learn how to track the ball better and turn his head around he could take major steps.

The Bradberry / Jackson combo looking forward has me pretty content with our CB situation.

I wonder if we had played the Giants later in the season, if Jackson would have been assigned OBJ. OBJ caught most of the passes in the clip (of course Bradberry was lined up 12 yards off 90% of the season). Not a knock against Bradberry, I just think Jackson's speed might be a better match for a shifty player like OBJ. But that's a lot to ask a rookie in his 4th game.

PS: I forget just how good OBJ is because he's such a little bitch, but that guy can ball.

There's some truth to the old "that's why he plays defense" saying.

i hate to see cornerbacks not play the ball, but bradberry constantly faces players that are quicker/faster than him. he has to track them first and foremost and utilize fundamentals over physical talent.

now if he had jackson's speed...oh boy.

Bradberry is a very solid cover guy and would be a starter on just about any team in the league. He's good, he's darn good. He's also a fair tackler, and that puts him ahead of some premier coverage guys.

We're lucky to have the guy and he's a solid defensive player. When looking at any tape, you have to remember a trio of things: 1) all corners get beat eventually, the idea of a shutdown corner has been pretty much legislated out of the game; 2) the corner's job isn't to intercept, it is to cover in such a way that it forces the opposing QB to move through their progressions, eating up time while mounting pressure pushes the chances of a mistake; 3) a pass interference penalty is sometimes a win.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to give him a large deal after how he performed last season.

 

He's a #2 CB in a league where you need a 1A and 1B.

The rose colored glasses come on for guys who fans were screaming at just a few weeks ago during the offseason.

Much is made of the opponents he faced last season. Well lol, A) Welcome to the NFL and B) you'd like to see him win some of those matchups. Green was dominating him until the injury. Atlanta simply wasn't targeting him with Sanu and Ridley running so free. Beyond those, it was pretty plainly ugly almost across the board.

 

This team can't burn another season because they've got the "he's a fine young man who did some nice things" goggles on.

 

Maybe its just me but im pretty sick of the panthers not playing in the super bowl to be giving hometown benefit of the doubt to middling players.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
