I think he will make some plays this year at #2.

think he also will get beat like a drum vs bigger WRs, probably on play action and when he gets rattled.   

I’d rather he play slot.  Think that is where get the best overall play out of the rookie.  Rather just grab a vet and stick on the outside.  

We also could use that vet in the locker room and sideline.  I mean we got Captain but Captain has only excelled as a slot DB.  He isn’t even average on the outside IMO. 

 

    First. If Jackson can tackle the art of tackling. (He he) That very well could make him the second best CB on the roster. So...he might as well start.

 

    Second. Not really sure  why you would think the kid will get "Rattled"? So far, that is not a word I would associate with him. "Coachable", and "Confident" are the words I hear. Those types of guys are too prepared to be rattled. 

 

    Third. Sometimes guys just have IT. And for some strange reason. To me, he just seems to have it. 

 

    Fourth. He came into the fold with some talent, and an attitude. And from all I've heard. Both of those seem to have taken a step forward. And man, does that excite me. 

 

    Lastly. I also would like to see a Vet come in. But only if he plays Outside. Capt. should be of help, but a guy who has spent his career on the outside, could have a calming effect. Or not, what do I know?  

 

    Edit: tl/dr version. Jackson, and Bradberry could be pretty good. If...Capt. is back...Top ten Defense is obtainable.

Jackson is stepping up, just like they envisioned he would when they drafted him. 

From the moment training camp started, the 2nd cornerback position was his to lose. 

And he has ran with it.

If he was at least an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier he would have been a first round lock. He is the least of my worries in our secondary.

We better play man against Julio and Bradberry better not fug up. But who says Rivera has given up on Seymour? It's one preseason game. He's been hellbent on starting Seymour all offseason. I still think Jackson is too small to start on the outside.

Norman - 6'0"

Jackson - 5'11"

Thank GOD, RH is on ignore. I don't miss his ignorant blubbering at all.

I'm more concerned about the 178 pounds than I am about the 5'11".

Well our front 7 will have to Hulk Smash and our offense will have to be the greatest show on turf,..

we have the team to do it, corners be damned

The secondary last year only had 10 picks and were dead last in pass deflections (56). I agree with the trial by fire approach because Jackson is the only CB on this team with recovery and closing speed. 

Pretty sure Luke and Adams had half of the picks last year and I don't think somebody else not named those 2 got a pick until the Green Bay game late in the season. I just can't see Jackson being any worse than Worley, which in itself will be a significant upgrade to our secondary...
