I agree that he hasn't been good, but the DTs he's faced, for the most part, haven't been slouches either. It's still a young season and the game hasn't probably slowed down for him quite yet.

Just seems overmatched at this point. Lacks the stength to hold up, which seems to put him in bad positions. He’s had a number of holding penalties. I will acknowledge that he’s gone against some very good DTs like Jarrett and Clark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits the “pff o-line grades are suspect and probably shouldn’t be the end-all-be-all” narrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Bradbury was even pushed around at the beginning of the Senior Bowl practices but he did show improvement as the practices progressed. He isn't a finished product by any means. It isn't much different than Brian O'Neil last season. The tools are there we just gotta give him time in a NFL training room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I personally just think there is some validity (certainly not all of it, though) to the notion that having 3 different O-Line coaches in 3 years does create some difficulty in being able to improve consistently. Yes, Elflein has sucked, but I'm a patient person. It also helps to play against weaker defensive lines, like the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotanKing Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think Kline has become pretty important to our offense now...he has been a really good pickup in FA. Kline didn't play last week vs Bears and the offensive line looked lot more vulnerable last week(even though Hicks wasn't playing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchezim Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I was a strong supporter of Bradbury so I am surprised he has played as bad as he has this season. I am assuming it is indeed him just needing time to get settled in for what type of D linemen the NFL will throw at him but he has been even worst than I could have thought. We will see though. I still have high hopes for the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know he was at 3.6 going into the Bears game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
