They'll try to stop Grahams run initially with help over the top with Bradshaw. After getting gashed, They'll come out of it and add more to the box, could be wrong though.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I wouldn't discount Claiborne being able to match up with Bradshaw. They're both insanely fast but Claiborne won the 100M at the state track meet and possesses elite speed. He's also a little more physical, having a bigger frame. He may can play with Bradshaw 1-on-1, we will just have to see. But they will likely have help over the top if possible, why take a chance with a player of Bradshaws capability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Sherman is one of the best to ever do it, but only ran a 4.56 forty. D'Angelo Hall once won the fastest man in the NFL contest, world class forty speed,, yet his covering ability nowhere close to Sherman's. Add to that Bradshaws athletic ability and his hands, ability to High point the football, and route running, jumping ability, and that can still be a major miss match for a Div 1 running back to cover a Div 1 wide receiver. But, no way to know for sure until they play. Unless a team has a sure Div 1 Defensive Back, I think it's playing with fire trying to cover Bradshaw 1 on 1.

But it's not like Graham is running these exotic routes down the field, esp with the injury uncertainties at QB. I understand your point that speed doesn't always mean the most to DBs, but Claiborne knowing his speed could be more confident than some other players who are beaten before the snap. If Claiborne thinks Bradshaw is only gonna run streaks, deep posts or hitch and go routes, maybe KW feels confident he can keep up with him and commits another player to defending the run. I dunno, I'm not saying he is gonna shut down Bradshaw, only that KW is the only team that Graham will have faced that has a guy they feel like could potentially stay with Bradshaw downfield. No other team can say that as far as I know. BandanaVTDavis4321 and Fairlawncat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the small foldable retractable runnershaft umbrella that's only about 12 inches in length when retracted, and place it under your coat. I've never been shut down due to an umbrella rule. If you have the 3 footer that doesn't have the retractable runnershaft and handle, then there is no point attempting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
