Donte Jackson on Punt Returns

Spent some time watching Donte on punt return drills yesterday. A bit rusty on tracking the ball, but once it is in his hand... woah.

Has a very quick first step, possibly quicker than Damiere Byrd. With the wide receiver roster looking really tight, Donte Jackson and DJ Moore both taking punt return reps could make it even harder for Damiere to make the squad.

I thought his hands sucked. Not sure id want him returning punts

He's a beginner, but his combination of speed and change of direction is probably the best on the team. He needs work on catching the ball, and apparently taking care of it. Should be an interesting experiment.

So we're still trying to force guys who hardly returned punts to become our primary punt returner again? Donte only returned 4 punts his whole college career and all of them were back in 2015. DJ returned 15 last year, but I don't want him returning punts when we have Byrd.

Just happy to see some competition there after treating it as kind of an afterthought. It will be nice to possibly have some semblance of an actual return game. When Ted Ginn Jr is the best return man you've had in years, that's pretty sobering. Yikes we've been awful.

Not loving his ball security on this fumble return though. Donte, this is the NFL. Someone will run you down and swipe at it.

Yikes, that's bad.

I imagine the ST Coach is gonna have a talk with him about that.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
