Donte Jackson

I haven't seen anything but promising performances from DJack so far.  Yes, he's made some mistakes . . . he is a rookie, we need to expect that.  I noticed a couple times he took bad angles in run support today, and his leverage wasn't the best on the TD to Ridley.  But again . . . rookie.

The PI today was complete horse crap though.

    Man, I love me some Jackson. The kid is willing to stick his nose in there and make a tackle. Which, I memory serves, was the biggest concern with Huddles after the draft. Was he too small to tackle? I guess not. lol

 

    For a second game rook? I liked what I saw. I am comfortable with our 2 main CBs. Yup.

Even though it was his fault, the chase down tackle was something. This man is FAST.

 

    I have a different feeling on that. First, he did his job, by cutting off the edge, and turning the RB back up field. Mayo got washed, so there was no one there to clean up the play. And yeah, the chase down was cool to watch.

 

    With that said. I truly believe that when Jackson shot up to set the edge, he got there quicker than he though he would. He kinda went wider than maybe he should have. He maybe could have taken a more direct path to the edge. Where he maybe could have met the RB, and shut down the whole play. But I guess I am just trying to nitpick, trying to make my view sound reasonable. After all, turning the play back up field is his main priority there.

 

    Either way, I would not say that run was on him.

    • We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.   
    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
