CFZ 26 Projected Cowboys starters: Offense, Defense, Special Teams

[Jimbo123]

What a great top 10. That sure proved your point. Shut up

James Bradberry
Philadelphia Eagles · CB

• Passer rating allowed: 54.7
• Catch rate allowed below expectation: -12.5%
• Tight-window percentage: 29.4%
• Target rate: 16.1%
• Average separation: 2.3 yards
• TARGETED EXPECTED POINTS ADDED: -32.8

A lot of these players were remarkably close in final numbers. Bradberry, on the other hand, stood apart from the rest. His overall totals didn't quite reach the level of Atlanta's A.J. Terrell in 2021 (although he surpassed Terrell in targeted EPA), but he was clearly the NFL's best coverage defender as the nearest targeted in 2022.

Opposing passers found it incredibly difficult when throwing Bradberry's way, posting a combined passer rating of 54.7, easily the lowest among all qualifying defenders (the only mark below 60, in fact). Bradberry finished with a respectable-but-not-remarkable three interceptions (while allowing three touchdowns), but his consistency when it came to denying pass attempts elevated his targeted EPA to the best mark in the league.

Sure, it helps to play opposite Darius Slay, and it certainly didn't hurt that he was sharing the field with the league's top sack defense. But Bradberry proved exactly why the Eagles jumped at the opportunity to add him after he became a cap casualty of the rival Giants last May: He's a premier cover man who can help elevate a defense to the status of title contender.

You think doubling down means something? What would you do without your next generation stats Jimbo?

Maybe 6 of these guys would start on the Eagles.

If the Eagles had all these guys and none of theirs, all of them would start......ya goober.

In two games, Scott has allowed three receptions on five targets for 54 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. He's also He's allowed a 104.2 passer rating and owns a 52.9 coverage grade.

It's admittedly a small sample size, but preseason is all about making the most of limited opportunities and the expectation was that Scott would at least hold his own in a game setting after he showed out in camp.

Scott might be bailed out by Nahshon Wright's injury and the fact the Cowboys seldom cut rookie draft picks, but it stands to reason he's fallen behind Kelvin Joseph, who's had a great preseason, on the cornerback depth chart.
