Bradford is Dominant! lol

SH in shambles. lol

Have you ever seen Bradford lock up a D lineman the way Zabel did in the first play from that clip? Of course not. Why? Because he can't. What he's good at is getting in the way of defenders (as well as RBs), knocking over others that are already being blocked, and pushing guys to the ground that are out of the play and already given up on it. The only thing he's good at is zone run blocking.

Which is exactly what he's doing there. He locks Smith up and tosses him to the ground

If someone wanted to dig long enough, they could probably find a similar low lights video of just about every O Lineman in the league. It might take longer with many of them, but discarding Bradford, on an O Line that has been this effective, all because someone with an axe to grind put together a video of him missing blocks? Is he the weak link on this O Line? Probably, but the offense seems to be doing pretty damn well.

The crazy thing is? The Cardinals have a pretty damn good D Line. At least, that was the story coming into this game.

he's big and clumsy, not surprising there's some good bloopers out there. He's also strong and mean, I don't think they are willing to give up on his potential

What's great about this is that clip was all about the interior. The weakest link in our line.

Maybe they are afraid to cut him. I worked on a job like that. Huge job site and this big mean SOB. The Forman finally fired him and hid. The guy wandered around the job the rest of the day looking for him

Imagine him being set up on a blind date and his prospective date asks her Girlfriend, "so what is this Anthony guy like?" And her friend says, "he is big and clumsy and strong and mean.........and HANDSOME....VERY HANDSOME!" lol

Bet he has a sensitive side once you get to know him. Im guessing he sleeps with a teddy bear

Scouting report from the draft, I think its probably about trying to have a scheme that fits him. He could fit what they are trying to get to be

“Massive, scheme-specific guard prospect with plus power but obvious athletic limitations,” writes Lance Zierlein. “Bradford has functional quickness as a pulling guard and can work from one block to the next with adequate timing. He can be effective as a single blocker but really shines on double teams, where he can help clear the pathway”

“His lack of lateral quickness and reactive athleticism can put him in a bind against one-gapping defensive tackles and sub-package rushers with short-area twitch,” Zierlein adds. “Bradford has the potential to become an eventual starter for gap and power teams.”

A dead Teddy bear that was asphyxiated the second night when he unwittingly rolled over on him.
