Fox talked about the progress of practice squad receiver Dexter Jackson from Appalachian State.

“He's got very good explosion,” Fox said. “He's got good quickness and good deep speed. Right now, we're looking at him as far as learning our system, and I like what I've seen so far. He's got that good quickness and good big-play ability. If need be, if somebody got injured again, we might be able to do something with him. So he's a guy that's learning and developing.

they've invested more in goodson for the KR game so i can see why they'd want to stick with goodson for longer. they said he has been getting healthy the past few weeks and now it's just a matter of communication.

i know goodson can be good in the open field...he just has to get his head in it.

once the game slows down for him he's going to be deadly any time he touches that ball.

I'd just like to see him returning punts or kicks.

A lot of the young guys -- Goodson, Munnerlyn and Moore -- have shown promise, but they've also committed their share of mistakes.

Man, I miss Mark Jones.

i don't. he was good for last year but he wouldn't have been this year. i'm glad we didn't bring him back.

we still need someone desperately, though. the KR part of the game has been absolutely horrible.

we just need someone with experience doing returns, though....and not someone who relied on the 3 man wedge to be productive.

He has to get those fumbles under control but that can be coached. He is def a Reggie Bush/Brian Westbrook type player for sure.

Mark Jones could not even pass our Physical test this year. He really fell off with the Titans.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
