Can we stop the "Bradford" trial?

[HawkFreak]

I have heard that Bradford continues to "win" the job in practice over Haynes.

Which makes me wonder if Bradford is a HOF'er in practice only to revert to PS-level in regular season games?

It's easy to play well against fellow teammates in a controlled environment but in live action against opponents looking to knock your QB into next week or blow up running plays, it's a whole different ballgame.

Ok. But the coaches understand that game time is different from practice time. Right?

Seems when in practice then and knowing what they are going to do he is fine, when it comes to actual play and thining on the fly he fails. Striong steel, dull edge doesn't cut the mustard. Think of DK as a Gaurd, physically gifted but was given a Value Village brain.

I'm just going to blame Geno Smith for Bradford's failures. Geno said it himself to blame him.

But the problem is that Bradford doesn't understand.

You can't make someone understand if he's incapable of it.

@chris98251 brought up a valid point.

False. There is no such thing as a position that no team is willing to trade.

Did the seahawks offer a 4th and a 5th for a guard? That's what they gave up for a WR who isn't doing anything for us.

There is zero evidence that no guards were available, and there is zero evidence the Hawks were offering the kind of package they gave up for Mr. 10yards a game.

I would bet $100K that there were OL upgrades available for a 4th and a 5th (or less than that). The most likely scenario is that Schneider was willing to overpay for WR but was underpaying for OL, which is the MO of Schneider's career in Seattle.

It's not super common though to trade mid year and given how many bad o-lines there are in the league I think it shows the reluctance to move on from good ones. No one wants their QB killed.

Shaheed is contributing. The Seahawks had 67 offensive snaps. Smith-Njigba played 55 snaps, Kupp 51, Shaheed 32, White 14, the TEs combined for 103, and FBs had 14.

If I recall correctly...and I do...we put Britt on right guard then we put him on left guard...must have been the underarms...hmph...and then we put him at CENTER where he controls most of the assignments for blocking. Seems like he got a great contract somewhere else due to the training our team did. So cmon BOYS...cut the coaching staff some slack...or not. I dont care. Bullshit on. Peace.

Right. But the coaches must be able to see practice isn't translating into game time. So they should be responding to that situation/problem.

Dude...the replies to this tweet are just cold-blooded.

Brock Huard put it well at the start of the week. You'd rather have a solid 6/10 guard who might at times fail slowly during a rep than a player who can be 10/10 for many plays but 0/10 for a few a game where a guy goes completely unblocked/whiffs and gets your QB killed/in his face.

Talking sh** about an injured player is pathetic.

Absolutely if the shit talking is about the injury.

Not so much if it’s actually deserved because of performance issues.

Personally I’m 50/50 on Bradford but I certainly see where the hate/shit talking comes from.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup, performance, talk all the sh**

Every player is injured every week. If you've ever talked sh** about any player you are pathetic by your own definition

 

[cymatica]

If you're into Where's Waldo, try finding a Bradford jersey in the crowd next home game

That's not even close to the point I was trying to make.

I'm talking about MOCKING a guy for being hurt, making jokes about his injury. Celebrating a possible injury keeping a guy out. Injuries are not funny at all.

There's a HUGE difference between talking crap about a player who is playing like crap. Calling someone soft or making jokes about them being injured is ridiculous. Oh well, I've been called a lot worse than pathetic. I just don't find humor in injuries.
