IMO he's alot more NFL ready than Josh Jackson and if a man heavy team drafts Jackson he'll struggle mightily. 

Agreed. I like Jackson a LOT for a zone heavy scheme. His instincts and ball skills are very reminiscent of Josh Norman, but his technical skills need a lot of work. He'd get eaten alive if asked to play a lot of man coverage as a rookie.

I'd be thrilled if we took him.

The breakdown states he’s excellent in press coverage but should only be playing off the ball coverage a few snaps a game...does this mean he’s not suited for Zone coverage? If so, how would he fit here given our scheme?

This isn’t to say I don’t like him. My God, I can’t telll u how many times I scream at the TV for our CBs giving a 10 yard cushion to the WRs...but if our scheme isn’t changing, do u really think we’d draft a guy who sounds like he’s a more ideal fit in man to man?

doubt you do it for a rookie but if he can handle it they could play him like they did Norman with coverage rolled away and him playing more man then the rest of the team. he would still need to be able to play zone really well though as it would still be a large portion of his snaps

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
