Will Donte Jackson be ready for the # 2 corner job?

Unless Hurney pulls off a trade soon, the hopes of finding a better option than Jackson to play the 2nd corner spot are pretty much over. I find it unlikely we will be able to grab someone after the final cuts and immediately plug them in as a starter opposite of Bradberry.  At this point I would assume he's slotted for the job as long as he doesn't have a poo show performance like Seymour just did.

 Its not really a stretch to expect a 2nd round pick to perform better than Worley (3rd rounder) or Seymour (6th rounder) who were both in their 2nd years and clearly not ready to be full time starters. The real question is how much better can we reasonably expect him to perform than them in his rookie year? We didn't really get a large enough sample size of him being targeted yesterday to draw many conclusions. Pretty excited to see how he does on Friday night and hoping he really shines.

Once again, if he can shut down the likes of College’s best WR AJ Brown, he’ll do fine in the NFL. So far from all the vids in camp and talk, he’s certainly sticking himself on receivers and racking up a ton of PBUs. Looks far stronger and bigger than his size suggest on the field.

Can I also point out that the entire backfield is hurt and not practicing today. Just Doss, Captain, and Jackson.  So the guy that everyone said is too fragile is on the field while everyone else is nursing wounds.  

Im good with him at the #2

Who ever said Jackson is fragile?

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
