Seattles ol is young. As well, their IL room already had about a dozen players and thats before the draft. If Bradburry had talent, hed be a great veteran add to that group. "The sage veteran 6 year starter to impart wisdom upon the group". The problem is. None of the young guys that came to minnesota to play alongside #56 every improved. Heck they never even played to the low side of draft day ecpectations. Bradburry was amazingly inconsistent in his viking tenure. A 70 grade for a game in week 5 followed by a 48 grade for weeks 6 & 7. As well, it seemed the entire line followed that inconsistency trend. The truth on bradburry is, hes terrible as a run blocker. Hes more of a get in the way guy than an actual initiate contact & remain engaged. Seattle will see it on tape. Not many teams are going to want their young guys mimicking that technique. In the passing game. His line calls were never great and vs stunts & blitzes they were often downright disasterous. His actual pass block skill was often average. And we all saw 1st hand how bad it could get against the better DT's. At the end of the day. Bradburry played the position like a swollen tight end. He never completed the position transition. I think, the best use for bradburry would be to get his body back into tight end shape and turn him into a long snapper. He could very likely play another 10 years at that position. His future as a starting center? I think those days are over. If a hack like me can see it on the television. You can bet players and coaches see it all very clearly. As backup center? Playing for vet minimum? Sure. Hes better than many other options. Perhaps he could even backup at guard. His days however, of $5m annual? Those days are over. Theres just too many glaring holes in his game. By all accounts. Hes a great teamate and nice guy. But so are most of you guys. Aint nobody ringing your phone with a $5m per offer✌️ Ya gotta either earn it or steal that kinda money. Had bradburry earned it. His phone would be ringing. Instead- he stole that dough. Its only a crime if you land in jail😆🤣🤪 |
