Oh Bradford

[RiverDog]

In all seriousness, some of those plays looks to me like he's playing in a daze, that he has PTSD.

Exactly what I thought. Hoping it was just a one-off and that he'll be playing above average again soon.

Paste the URL. Delete the "X" in it and replace it with "twitter".

If only it was that easy to replace "Woolen" with "Competent Player".

I said it right after the Cards game, "Changes are needed". Bradford has got to be replaced and Woolen should go with him. Bradford is compromising the game plan. He can't sustain blocks, mostly because he is sooo slow he can't reach the defender in time to block them. He is in the way constantly when others are trying to do their job. This is nothing personal, he may be the greatest guy ever but I want championships!

From what I see it's more that he has no idea what his assignment is. But no doubt he is a good part of the reason why our run game off the right side, inside is struggling

Above average again? I don't know if he's ever played above average. Bradford has played poorly for some time. It's probably time to cut bait.

It is take your pick of the following three - Derion Kendrick, Josh Jobe, or Shaquill Griffin. Any of them are more competent than Woolen. Of course, the bar is low.

As for Bradford, if he's the best they can throw out there week after week - the problem is deeper than replacing the said player. Sundell is not the answer. He's been terrible too.

With regard to my comment about PTSD. Some of you guys might have read my comments over in another forum about the teammate I had that got killed during a game, died of a brain hemorrhage. When we saw the game film, he looked just like Bradford did on some of those plays, wandering around aimlessly before he collapsed. That's why I was wondering about PTSD.

Unless I have badly misunderstood what I was hearing/reading we have signed an additional OT (from Kansas) and two more OGs. One of them might also be from Kansas, as is Cabeldue. So if that is true we ARE working to address weakness and depth on the O Line.

Wasn't one signed to the Practice Squad?

Or a Kansas booster is using compromising pics of JS to promte their players.

Sounds like the Hawks/JS/MM are getting desperate for an upgrade. LOL If they're scrambling around that much, I'd like to think they're making calls for a proven vet there.

On a completely unrelated note, I just bit my lip for like the fourth time in the exact same place the last couple of days. How does that happen?

It was two separate articles I saw and whizzed through while in a hurry on the msn news feed last night. Tried to go back and find it after chores were done but never saw them again. Also checked on the KUSports site but saw nothing there. No mention on .com so I don't know what the deal is.

Badford moves like Hermen Munster.

That was an insult to MR Munster.

^^^ Well hey...you brought him up.

I gave props to Bradford because he still hasn't had a penalty this year. On the other hand, he would have to improve a lot to be average.

 

[flv2]

Wow...those look atrocious. I think our OL is improved but know it still has a lot more to grow...but how Haynes or Cabeldue can't improve that means either 1) Bradford excels in areas not shown or 2) Our OL depth is far worse than I realize.

He had a stellar preseason, but that looked terrible. A decent FA OG that's familiar with the system should be on the radar.

The O-Line depth was poor. Jones looked pretty good at back-up LT, but he's hurt at the moment. Kight > Cabeldue > Laumea > Haynes, (and Laumea is now with the Saints).

Hard to get penalized when you don’t actually block anyone

I wonder if he's confused by the scheme. Maybe that's why he looks so lost.

Also, sorry about your teammate.
