Bradford...yikes

[Maelstrom787]

Offensive linemen are rarely as bad as fans think they are. He looked like a mauler on most of those runs, even when Charbs ran through his gap for his second TD

95% of fans, if not more, watch the ball. Doubt most would notice if Bradford was replaced within 20 snaps of it happening if the commentators didn't mention it.

Strong opinions on the OL kinda annoy me for that reason.

Most fans, including myself, only notice the offensive linemen when they screw up, during live broadcast. I've given up trying to evaluate them unless A: I'm watching live, B: I'm watching the all-22, preferably both.

I've noticed on a couple of his poor plays, he delivers the initial punch and the DT just shrugs it off. Bradford then doesn't move his feet, as though he is shocked and takes a split second to react to it. Either he is not as strong as he was last year or the DTs we have played are prepared for his punch. He needs to master his reaction when his punch doesn't phase the opponent.

If memory serves, Dave Wyman has called out this exact thing. Bradford does a great job initially, but he needs to learn to finish his blocks.
