You all need to realize Jackson isn't good but a rookie

Why can't I get excited about a rookie showing regular flashes of great play?

No one expects him to be all pro his first year.  But its fine to get excited about a rookie coming in, and getting some great plays in.  We all know he would get beat at points.  He is a rookie.  But I'll take him any day over that CB we had last year.

And if we can get wins on top of dealing with rookies and their mistakes (Thomas' route running, Jackson having a bad game)..so now they are learning quality lessons while not causing an L?

That is so much winning in my book.

I’ll take his great plays and energy with expected lapses since he’s a rookie.  You should direct your ire at Captain Munnerlyn, that dude has experience and straight blows.

He has done better than last year.

 

But still has been a liability on quite a few plays

I wonder if Corn is that much worse?

I have no problems with Jackson. He’s what I expected, immensely talented who flashes great athleticism and ability but also getys exposed due to being a rookie. A rookie who is only 1/4 of the way through his first season. He has plenty to work on, but he also has plenty to work with. Combine that with our dismal pass rush and I’m happy we have a guy of his caliber out there to compliment 24.

How the people on this forum think rookies are supposed to perform in their forth NFL game cracks me the hell up.  If they are not bound for Canton as soon as they get drafted, you people think they are terrible, busts, not good or whatever have you.  Christ, give them a chance they are still LEARNING how to play in the NFL.

This is so true.  Black and white thinking is rampant here.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
