big_palooka Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 C grade signing. He runs a zone cover 3 and is not aggressive. Defense did not create take aways and rarely blitzed last season. This is basically a rich man Guenther. Will need an overhaul of talent to get any results. He's not much of a teacher. This signing doesn't really move the needle IMO. More of the same old. Absolutely have to rebuild the talent on defense to give him a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley's scheme is a 43 under like KNJ, right? That’s what I thought? So we are going back to the scheme and player type ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Positives I can see are that his defenses are usually in the top half statistically, he’s a “name” which will hopefully help us attract better talent, he knows the division and especially seems to know how to scheme against the Chiefs. I can see why some fans think this is a “meh” kind of hire, but there’s no denying this is an upgrade from Guenther. I’m going to look at the positives for now. Will be interested to see how things go with us building a more talented defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers always play the Chiefs hard and their D gives Kermit some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I mean I get it. Bradley has had some good defense in the past. But they had TALENT. And I really don't know how scheme diverse he is. This feels like Gruden hiring a buddy with a resume, but I'm willing to be optimistic until it doesn't work.

We need to sign Hankins/Tomlinson, Dupree/Ingram, and KJ Wright. Draft or sign a FS that can play cover one and draft a 3T. We will improve but I do not see us having the talent level the Chargers have on D for a couple years. Then drat heavily for the o-line after we cut the dead weight and resign Good. If we run a 4-3 under KJ Wright and Dupree would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
