James Bradberry: Playing at a high-level.

I expect numerous double moves from Fuller come Sunday. I bet they try and recreate the blown coverage where Donte bit and tried to jump the route leaving the guy wide open down the sideline only to drop it. 

If I were the Panthers' coaching staff I would anticipate this as well and adjust coverages with the idea that they will be looking to bait Jackson for a big play (allowing him to bite) and eat that sh*t up.

Bradberry is as solid and consistent as they come. He's not going to make many spectacular plays but he's not going to make many spectacularly awful plays either. He just quietly does his job. Dante is the polar opposite on the other side. He's going to make a lot of splash plays, but he's a riverboat gambler at CB and he's going to get burned badly occasionally because of it.

 

We've got the yin and yang of corners. I like it.

He shut down Evans for the most part. The same Evans that a week later puts 170+ yards and 3 TDs

Bradberry has always had Mike Evans’ number. Even got ejected or some poo one time

Pay him, was a big skeptical but this is two seasons in a row at this pace. 

 

Still wouldn’t break the bank for him however

The longer we wait, the higher his price tag gets. I don’t understand why it hasn’t already been done.

Your breakdowns are always great. I hope they can lock Bradberry up before he becomes a FA because the price is only going to get higher.

He’s not getting a lot of targets. But when he does, he’s maximizing every snap. That’s what I am impressed by the most. Now that Jackson’s put up some good tape, opponents have to reconsider their options a bit. 

One of the most undervalued stats on CBs is number of targets. Good ones cause an opposing team to shift away from them. It isn't as flashy as INTs but it can mean even more over the course of a game and/or season. Chris Gamble was the ultimate silent assassin. Opposing teams just quit trying his side of the field and he very quietly had an excellent career, but one that is criminally underappreciated.

QBs are just refusing to throw at Bradberry, thats why DJack is getting all that action.

Remember this is exactly what happened when Josh Norman was here and finally came into his own.  The first few games of the year Josh had numerous interceptions and pick 6's.  After that, they basically avoided his side of the field entirely.

I don't think Bradberry will ever be THAT good, he just doesn't get the turnovers.  But what he does do is give the QB the idea that his guy just isn't open.  In this, I think that the comparison to Chris Gamble is an excellent one.

If all Bradberry ever does is become another Chris Gamble, that's a huge win for our team.

Holy poo, please don’t listen to the trolls.    You’re content is awesome.  Love what you’re doing.

Well, the hopeful answer to your question is that Tepper isn't letting Marty near the checkbook.

That's my hunch.  Then again, Ron has never proven to really value the secondary, so we aren't sure if we have a meddlesome owner, a dumb coach, or a hamstrung Marty.

Don’t stop doing what you’re doing. You’re one of the few that people can actually look forward to hearing from.

I brought this up in a post earlier this off season. If I were in charge I'd be trying to extend him right now if possible.

My worst fear is that we'll hit an impasse in the negotiations and he'll test the market. Then we'll get the news that Belichik has signed him to play on the other side of Stephen Gilmore up in New England. What a nightmare that would be for the rest of the NFL.

James isn't flashy; he goes to work everyday and does his job without bringing any attention to himself. His personality is tailor made for a franchise that constantly stresses team first and lives by the slogan "DO YOU JOB!"
