Donte Jackson

[gorillamilitia13]

He seemed to have a quiet day today, which can be a good thing for a CB. Is it just me or was Wentz avoiding him the whole game?

 

EDIT: To clarify I’m not saying the Eagles game planned to avoid Jackson. But maybe D Jax was locking his man up the whole day.

When Jeffery and Ertz are that open for 3 quarters... you barely need to look anywhere else lol

I think he played well though.

Best stat a corner can have.

Yeah when Shaq and Bradberry were flipping and flopping, no need to look towards Donte's direction.  

[rodeo]

yeah they didn't even really test him.

Donte Jackson is promising. Very excited about him. Although, there is not a reason to throw away from yet at this point in his career. The Atlanta game showed that.

At the end of the day , the D only gave up 17 points which is not bad definitely in this era of football

Our LBs have looked lost in coverage this year. Remember when Luke was getting all those interceptions?

The Eagles Rivera'd themselves. They went away from what was working in an effort to "protect" their lead. Wentz was having a near perfect day and had all day to throw. They started running the ball more. They were killing is with pressure, they started rushing four and dropping into coverage. We won, but the Eagles going conservative gave us that opportunity.

We lost to the Skins but TD and Luke were amazing in coverage that game. Today was seriously bad with Ertz but I think there's still promise there.

That was his second game he's made big strides in a very short time. He's not at that point in his career I agree but he's a problem being his qbr reflects it's not a good choice to throw his way.

I think it had more to do with Jeffrey being healthy and being a top notch WR who can dominate any game.

Not bad, what that's grade A I thought. Keep any team to 17 or under and we should win isn't that our team goal.

They were obviously avoiding Jackson, mentioned it in the Game day thread. Yet they still throw at Bradberry. 

At least we have one good corner.

Not really.  They actually started running the ball less.  After our first td, the Eagles ran 9 consecutive pass plays.  Six on their first series after our first td, made one first down and then had to punt, then three more passes after our second td, with a three and out.  Their only run of the entire 4th qtr was in the red zone on the last drive.  

 

Edited to add, during that series of 9 consecutive passes, Kuechly had a sack and two tackles behind the line of scrimmage after the pass was caught.  He had probably his best game of the year.  Definitely his best qtr of the year.

They weren't really avoiding Jackson as much as they were throwing to Jeffrey.  Bradberry was covering Jeffrey, who is far and away their best receiver.
