There was a lot to like about Donte Action Jackson during his rookie season. For a rookie, he did well, even getting the highest coverage grade of the Panthers' corners per Pro Football Focus. So, with more experience and familiarity with pro rivals, as well as chemistry with his backfield teammates, we can expect for him to improve. All that said, per PFF, he led all cornerbacks in missed tackles with a whopping 15 misses. If he cleans that up, the back of the defense will look markedly better.

He was really hit or miss as a tackler and in run support. Had some amazing plays and tackles for loss that other guys just can’t do, and then obviously had some terrible whiffs or bad angles. I like that he showed a lot of promise, with more discipline (on the field) and experience, I’m not worried at all about that part of his game.

Honestly I think his speed, aggressiveness and play recognition put him in position to attempt difficult tackles in space more often than most corners. Your average outside corner isn't even getting to the ball carrier to miss the tackles that Jackson was missing on occasion.

People fell in love with Donte early with the picks but he had a rough 2nd half. He gave up a ton of long plays and I didn’t know about the missed tackles. I’m just hoping he learns and gets better. He’s got talent but teams picked on him when they realized that they could. 

I feel like he would be better in the slot than the outside.

Which is why I think if Greedy Williams is on the board, he will be our pick. Move Jackson to the nickel role, and all of a sudden our secondary looks pretty damn good.

Load up on DE's in the 2nd and 3rd.

I like this idea! I think that's what should happen.

I think that he had a rough third quarter (if you will), but not second half. But, even still, he was our best cover corner according to PFF, so there's reason to be excited.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.

      He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
