Bradham was a key to Eagles D in 2017 - especially after Jordan Hicks got hurt as he wore radio headset and split time between SAM and Mike. Appears he matured in his on the field responsibilities. Wonder if his off-field has done the same. Had a weed pullover stop in BUF and had a weapons issue in PHL tenure. He fits the speedy body-rocker type McD's D demands.

Best of luck Tyrod in the next chapter of your story. You were always the epitome of class in your dealing with the fans, media and team mates. Stay Healthy, be the leader you are and win some games for that team on the other end of the lake!

lol - I made a rookie mistake. Fixed the year. Thanks for pointing out. Good stuff on the comments btw!

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-where-cb-tredavious-white-won-in-2017 This article from PFF has some great insight into his rookie year - the stats back up what we all saw. NFL QBs averaged a 21 rating throwing toward the boundary on out routes when Tre was in coverage. They averaged out at 72 rating throwing to his zone. And only 58 rating throwing at him in man to man. Most amazing - he either made a pick or broke up a pass 19.5% of the time when thrown on. Playmaker Index was 10th for all CBs in NFL. Let's hope OBD finds some other gems this year!

Wonder if he could play down in the box as the nickel safety / small LB as 15-20 lbs heavier than Hyde and Poyer. His stats dropped last year as only 6 starts so seems he was phased out by Titans. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SearDa00.htm Always liked him with Bills and he seemed like he was a team guy - took a pay cut last year so maybe sign on 1 or 2 year deal for $1.5mm per year. Would seem like a low profile, low risk deal for OBD. Thoughts?

Some basic facts about the guys dealt away or cut: Sammy - Always hurt, when somewhat healthy was having agent call GM and coach about lack of targets. Not committed to off-season workouts while a Bill. Wasn't going to stay here and wasn't worth franchising IMHO. Jonathan Williams - Had an Arrest (subsequently found not guilty of DWI) while a Bill. Pass blocking, receiving skills and Value as STer questionable. Darby - Man scheme only CB with "poor" ball skills. Benched in 2015 by coach that drafted him. Kevon Seymour - Man CB with poor ball skills in college (needed eye exams to correct) and questionable tackling skills.

So one must imagine they feel Humber will be back in 3 weeks after bye as no LB signed. Believe Jenkins and Hodges still out there.

If it was a run or return of some sort only, its a TD. As it was a reception he needed to maintain control through his falling to the ground. So would have been ruled as called on the field.

Thanks for the great work and providing the gifs of plays. It is very telling. I for one would like OBD to consider making 2 changes after Bye week. RG - Look to replace Miller with Ryan Groy who should be better one scheme G and will help run game immediately. Also consider using Dawkins here if Glenn and Henderson play tackle spots. RT - Assuming Cordy Glenn heals up, let Henderson and Dawkins compete and split time at RT. Loser is Swing tackle. or kick Dawkins in to RG and let him compete there too. Most draft experst had him as a G candidate and I believe he is Richie's long term replacement as devastating as a Run blocker

Just heard on Sirius NFL that Dennis Pitta was Waived Injured by Ravens. Maybe this makes Gary Barnidge more critical as a signing for Ravens as Ben Watson still recovering from Achilles tear. On the other hand it frees up $$ to sign any player

McD later made clear, when questioned if Cyrus was rehabbing from his hip injury or the incident in Elma, that he meant he was doing well in rehabbing from the hip injury. Cyrus, this is your brain on drugs is a topic for another thread.
