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.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
