Posted June 4, 20241 yr It is being reported that Bradberry has switched positions and is now working with the safeties. Interesting to see how this plays out. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/james-bradberry-still-eagle-no-longer-cornerback/588591/
June 4, 20241 yr Author Gut feeling this is more about buying time to see if Howie can work a trade for him than anything else. I mean it can't hurt to see what he can do at S ... especially now as we are thin there. But I don't really expect he'll end up playing there for us.
June 5, 20241 yr No ham in trying it right? A position we need cover and depth at and I’m not sure Bradberry is going to start at CB? In fact if he does then this off season has not gone well.

In fact if he does then this off season has not gone well. That just depends on how you view things. What would be wrong with Bradberry returning to All Pro form? A rookie draft pick can come in and take over a starting spot or he can push an incumbent starter to perform at a higher level to keep his job. As long as either scenario produces an improvement, you have to say things went well.
June 5, 20241 yr How can he play safety when his biggest weakness is his hips? Lmao. No thanks just take the dead hit and move on.

June 6, 20241 yr Bradberry's next position switch is from having a position on the roster to being cut
June 6, 20241 yr Safe to say, the secondary is moving beyond him. Q and Coop are ballin, so is Isaiah Rogers or new number 2. Coop almost had a one hand pick off Hurts. He's playing all over the field as the coach throws more stuff at him. As BG said they are learning and buying into this. They all have the same goal. AJ says the most important thing is everyone being on the same page. No mistakes. That's going to take some time learning a new offense. So far the pass D is ahead of the offense. That's encouraging.

He was so bad last year.

I get the secondary looks good right now in no tackle practise against an offense learning an entirely new playbook, but I still need to see it in an actual game, Although I guess Bradberry played no tackle football most of last season so maybe he is ready to go.

Bradbury was absolutely bad last season, but he wasn’t the only one. By the end of the season I couldn’t tell you who on that defense was worth a darn. Bradbury is an easy target, because he was mostly targeted inside of two minutes and just got owned, but where was the pass rush during those times? The safety play was just as atrocious as Bradbury was. There were plenty of people who deserved criticism, but are frankly getting a pass like they didn’t suck too.

I don’t disagree with that but Bradberry looked really bad all year whereas the defense wasn’t bad all year. Bradberry looked washed in every sense whereas I think others looked lost by the scheme.

I mean it won’t hurt my feeling if Bradbury is gone. I just hope the other guys step up too.

I mean they were winning a lot of games earlier in the year, but there were a lot of injuries especially at linebacker and in the secondary. Then when Slay decided to get his surgery it seemed like the entire secondary just fell apart. Josh Sweat was pretty mediocre for most of the season. The Eagles second unit ends stunk. Carter and Davis wore down late in the season. Blankenship was subpar when he actually would play. The pass rush was bad all season as well as the coverage in the secondary. Go back and look at some of the mediocre quarterbacks who torched them earlier in the year. Bradbury is an easy target, but the reality is this defense was bad for the majority of the year. We want to assume everything will be fixed with new coaches and removing Bradbury. I don’t think it is that easy or simple.

The interior defensive line is my big worry, because they plainly did wear down at the end of the season, and we lost a workhorse in Fletch and added nobody, They better be better at getting stops this year or it could get grim again down the stretch.
June 12, 20241 yr He's not going to play safety. Howie is just trying to create a market to trade him for something to save on the cap instead of cutting him

Right now I have a lot of questions about both the offensive and defensive lines. If those groups can’t get it together it will be a long season for us. On top of that Jalen is basically learning an entirely new offense in one offseason.
