Bradley:I'm very excited to be here and work with Coach Lynn. We have a relationship over the past couple years that has grown. I know what he's all about, what he represents and what he brings to a team. So that's been awesome. And then meeting the rest of the staff, and seeing it come together on offense, defense and special teams; it's a very cool thing to be a part of and watch it grow right in front of us.

Chargers.com:The biggest question many fans have right now is whether we'll be switching from a 3-4 to the 4-3 system you've run in the past. What type of scheme will you be installing?

Bradley: I think most people would categorize us as a 4-3 with just enough elements of a 3-4.

Chargers.com:How hard of a transition will the new scheme be for our players?

Bradley:Well, I think the players we have here is why it was a good fit (for me to come to the Chargers). When you look at the personnel and what they've done in the past, especially what they've done really well, you can start picturing these players in our defense and realize it's a pretty good fit. The pieces in place here are a really good fit for what we'll do scheme wise. Right now (I'm breaking down film on our) players, and I'm looking at their skillset and what they do well. Every time you put in a defense, your objective is to get the ball. That is our overall objective. So you look at putting players in the best position possible utilizing their skillset. So when I watch tape, I'm trying to find out what their skill set is. And within that scheme, trying to design it so they are in the best possible position to utilize it.

Chargers.com:What are your core philosophies when it comes to running a defense?

Bradley:We believe in simplicity. Now, simplicity doesn't mean easy. We just want to create a defense that allows players to come in here, play early and play fast. So it's play hard, play fast, play smart and play together. Now, we have a lot of work to do to get to that point. But that's what we are hoping for. That's going to be our style. We've got some work to do before we get on the field for OTAs, but I'm really excited about how it's all coming together.
