Summer talk: Bradley McDougald’s potentials and issues

I thought he was great filling in for Kam last year and hope he stays at strong safety. He seems like a guy that plays quicker then his 40 time but at the same time he doesn't cover ground like Earl does.

Bradley McDougald has been a starting safety in the league, he may even step in as our starting SS or FS this season. His combine 40 yards was 4.74second, does he has the speed as FS?

No, but Shaqeem does.

At the outset I expect the team will see Mc Dougald play FS, with Hill playing SS and others relieving both situationally.

Shaquem is an OLB and not a S.

From everything I’ve read his play is better playing forward rather than he is playing in coverage and he’s a genuine scary situational blitzer. There his spread creates coverage and blocking issues for opposing OC’s.

He has played safety and could, he is good in coverage, ideally he could be Kam 2.0 easlily, he brings additional factors with being able to rush the passer from the edge. he has speed to play just about anywhere in the secondary like his brother but has more size.

McDougald had some sort of injury and ran anyway sort of like that USC RB this year. He ran a 4.51(Edit, many reports put him at 4.49 at 215 pounds) healthy at his pro day. Before Kam had his hip problems in his senior year, he ran a 4.47 as a Junior. He had surgery to fix both hips just before the 2013 seaseon. Earl ran a 4.43 at 202 pounds at the combine. Dropped down to 196 pounds at his pro day for the 4.37. He's no where near 196 or 202 pounds now. Steven Terrell ran a 4.34. He was legitimately faster than Earl and THAT turned out so well....

This isn't madden. Both Kam and McDougald are fast enough for FS. As are the two sophmores. It's a matter of knowing what to do.
