Not enough data yet to establish a baseline which causes the public fear that has turned the US economy on it's heels Once the data can determine the expansion rate and the Govt. and Private sectors work co-jointly with effective countermeasures for containment & cure and we see number of new cases flatten out, then you will see an easing of work restrictions with businesses gradually going back to work. It does not mean we are off the hook either, people are going to need to continue to be very careful in everyday life to contain this nasty bug Hopefully this is a one and done in our lifetimes read an interesting piece on it. It mutated once to jump from animals to us then it mutated a second time in a very short time to go from person to person thats why there is a 1 and a 2. It is an animal virus our immune systems don't know what it is or how to react to it thats what makes it so dangerous there is a lot of work to do for medicine that will help slow it and vaccine that will keep it out of our systems.

There is going to be a time in the next 1-2 weeks where a serious decision is going to have to be made -- there is going to have to be a weighing of the effects of this virus versus the effect on our economy and people's lives as a result of a prolonged shut-down of our country. Just had a conversation with my town barber who told me that he is at risk of losing his business and his home to avoid getting an illness that would likely cause him to experience mild symptoms for 2 weeks (he is not in an at-risk group). Not a terrible point …. Unfortunately, the only country that has not taken this macro level approach is South Korea, mostly because they employed rigorous testing and contact tracing and did it early. If you don't have enough tests you really can't do that, and if you can't pinpoint, you're only chance to stop something like this from becoming so widespread is macro level participation in serious social distancing. Everyone has to do it because we can't be that specific. Politics aside because I'm not sure everyone here is a fan of the New York Times, but this is a great read detailing what they did, all of it would have been possible for sophisticated nations: www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/world/asia/coronavirus-south-korea-flatten-curve.html?auth=linked-google I love the James Bradberry signing. Interesting read, thank you.

Best CB we've had since C-Web. Im excited to see him play, hes physical and has size. Very underrated Steady fundamentally sound .....like Webster.. Jenkins was way too boom or bust,though when he was boom he was literally the best corner in the league (I personally think it was more an effort thing) Give me a bunch of very good fundamentally sound football players on defense and the O line (with a top qb and a playmaker on either side of the ball)and you will win 75% of your games for a very long time Best Corner in the League?

If you like soft zone corners then I guess youre right. Bradberry is a physical press corner, thats a willing and excellent tackler. Jenkins is/was none of those things. Maybe you like statistics

Jenkins is/was none of those things. Maybe you like statistics - Jenkins was a top 5 CB in 2016. He has peaks and valleys in his play but was consistently thought of as a top CB. Until he got old - Jenkins played his best football in press man coverage. Since his days playing for the gators, no clue what you're talking about. - Bradberry has never been considered a top CB in the league. Ever. - Correct, I do like statistics. What I dont like is revisionist history to fit current biases.

Michael Thomas also made mention of Bradberry being one of the best CBs in the league. If you said the 2nd half of 2019 wasnt Bdraberrys finest, Id agree, but other than that, it sounds like you dont know much about the NFL outside your team. Maybe you should go play around with your stats and come back with a halfass response again.

Maybe you should go play around with your stats and come back with a halfass response again. - Not a top CB according to... anybody. Does he break your top 10? 20? I wonder how many people before FA opened were clamouring for the thought of signing Bradberry? - Mike Evans and Thomas have both routinely torched Bradberry during his time there. Im glad they have nice things to say though. Excellent - 2019 wasn't his finest, but right in line with most of the rest of his career I dont totally hate the signing, but he's not close to the player Jenkins was when we brought him in 4 years ago. Though, before disparaging me, know that you dont even know this team well, claiming Jenkins was a "soft zone" corner. This tells me you have no idea what you're looking at when watching games Maybe focus on what our players have done on this team, and what their particular skill sets are/were. Do this before regurgitating others peoples thoughts, about other players, on other teams, that you happen read on the internet. It'll do wonders pal.

Is this Jim Rome? Maybe he’ll call James Bradberry Jim Blueberry and get tossed from his chair.

Please tell me how Jenkins is a super physical 6'1, 210 lb press corner, gotcha.

Just letting you guys know in case you want to hear from our new #1 CB on a national platform. 11:05 AM PST. I personally like the signing, so I will be tuning in. I have nothing else to do since I'm working at home these days. Best CB we've had since C-Web. Im excited to see him play, hes physical and has size. Very underrated c web was better than jenkins? the eye test says no...he fell off a cliff way faster
