Stewart Bradley Living Up to the Hype
Sep 22, 2008 Eagles Rumors
Hard to imagine anyone having a level of expectations for Stewart Bradley that he hasn’t lived up to. The Eagles run defense is #1 in the NFL, allowing a ridiculous 46 ypg.
Bradley has been making the correct reads, and he has the speed and strength to get into the running lane and stop the back in his tracks. It’s been impressive.
Peter King agrees:
“There aren’t many middle linebackers stopping the run better than Philly’s Stewart Bradley.”
This group of linebackers is fast. I’ve noticed it in every game, but yesterday it was apparent in the blitzes. These guys get to the quarterback in a hurry when they’re blitzing. It was the kind of speed we were missing with the late days of Trotter, Spikes, and Dhani Jones.
It’s been a big deal.
