In-game adjustments.
Seems like most of the year, there was a vast difference between how the D played in the 1st half and the 2nd half. While teams would move the ball on the Hawks in the first quarter, they would usually clamp down and figure out the opposition's game plan.
So many times it seemed like our D would shut out the opposing team in the 2nd half, or just hold them to 1 or 2 scores (that score would usually be at the end of the game).
I think Bradley was a huge part of that, and that's the area I think we'll miss him most. The Hawks over the last 2 years, and especially this year, made in-game adjustments on Defense like no other Hawks team I can remember.
I really hope that coaches other than Gus were the main ones behind that.

Yup, he DID call the plays. No matter what people say about him being a stepford DC, it's just noise. Gus called the plays.

This might be true because we don't know who makes adjustments on either side of the ball. if Gus is that guy then his loss will be felt.
I know it for sure that Tom Cable is the one making half time adjustments for the offense because Doug Baldwin said it in one of his interviews.

Well maybe we'll have better game plans and wont need to rely on adjustments.

We never made adjustments that worked before Pete got here.
I am inclined to believe that will continue with Gus gone.

This isn't entirely correct. There are very little "half-time" adjustments made at half-time. This is a myth that fans and media like to use. First, PC has said numerous times A) We didn't really do any adjustments, we just executed better in the 2nd half. (Go listen to a number of his Monday appearances with Brock and Salk and you'll here him say this throughout the year-- Even though Brock and Salk specifically ask about Half-time adjustments) B) PC also said on Brock and Salk that if you "wait" until halftime your doomed. That adjustments are made between series. C) Ross Tucker on the FOOTBALL TODAY PODCAST--- Stated: That fans have a incorrect impression that there's these huge adjustments made at halftime-- That Coordinators are coaching up and going into great detail during halftime. He says there barely enough time to take a leak get a drink of water. Sure the coach may give a "get out there an win the game" pep talk. But there isn't sweeping gameplan changes that they draw up in the lockerroom by and large.

Considering how his defense couldn't in-game adjust to blowing leads in critical spots, I'm not sure this aspect of losing Bradley will hurt.

My point still stands, that by the players and Pete's own quotes, Cable appears to be the point guy offensively. Now, the "smart" people dont like to hear that, because they'd rather feel superior by talking down to anyone who criticizes Bevell.

I do not agree with the statement either, but my god what a stache! I'll bet the damn mortgage (don't have one) that if Paul Allen grew that kind of a killer stache we'd win the friggin Super Bowl! I'm honestly surprised that it's taken him this long to come up with the idea... _________________ Talkin Seahawks All Day, All Night @ my blog Seafense! http://seafense.blogspot.com/

Giant red polka dot mushrooms might very well be the next big PED. Shad Kahn is a pretty amazing guy. Don't let the goofy mustache fool you, he's a self made billionaire, more in the mold of Paul Allen than the clique of silver spoon kids who are owners in the league. If his new GM thinks that Bradley is the best choice to be the head coach and he signed off on it I think that's pretty solid endorsement, at least from an organizational standpoint.

yea Bradley was huge in the second half of the Falcs game when it counted against the ONLY option the Falcons had... can you say double team those 2, 3 man rush, spy?
Falcs shouldnt have even got a first down after the kick, which should have been buried
if Bradley was worth his weight the Hawks would have went 16-0, they're that good!

CanHawks, I really like the new avatar of Te'o's girlfriend during those chemo months. Glad to see I'm not the only one who still thinks she's real.

I'm glad his soft zone schemes and him are gone. Nothing personal, just think he is a crappy DC.
