The Redskins need cornerback help. One popular notion that has been floating around is that the Redskins will bring in James Bradberry from the Panthers, who is an impending free agent. One issue with that idea has to do with the question of defensive scheme.
See, the Panthers, as we all remember from the Josh Norman signing, played predominately zone defense under Ron Rivera, while Jack Del Rio’s defenses have typically featured an aggressive pass rush paired with predominately man-to-man coverage.
If the Redskins follow the Rivera-Panthers model of mostly zone coverage, then Bradberry would be an ideal fit.
