Is Donte Jackson a “head case”?

Listening to WFNZ this morning. Didn’t hear the entire conversation but it sounded like they were reacting to the All of Nothing series where Donte seemed(haven’t seen the whole thing yet) to be acting like he was un-coachable and didn’t want to take advice from vet players. 

Someone said he has come out and stated that he was made to look like someone he isn’t on the series.

Anyone have any insight on this?

He is young and was a rookie. He learned not only technique but how to use coaching as well. There is nothing wrong with him. This is what you often get with rookies. Another reason I like proven vets as starters who have already gone through this. Jackson should make a lot of progress between last year and this.

I have been in a similiar situation in my career as D-jax was portrayed. My language may have not been the same but my body language was much similiar. I can empathize with the kid.

It didnt take long for me to understand that to be better I had to approach situations differently, and accept feedback. I dont think this is different from many, just part of the growing process.

 

Head case.... no. Passionate player who wants to be great, and is learning that it doesnt happen over night.... yes.

Was just listening while at the gym and Donte will be doing an interview with WFNZ to address this exact thing at 1:30p if you are able to tune in.

Do I think he is a head case.  Yes.  But that’s not the end of the world.  I have played with some head cases that can play well. But others that seem to never attain the excellence they see in their own minds.  Let’s hope he can take some mentor ship.  

And that Fewell can have a positive influence.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
