My OTA Observations

So if Jackson struggles to cover players deep on one side of the field as a corner, you think we should move him to FS where he has to play both sides of the field deep? Why in the world would we do that? Now move him to the slot and I would agree.

I do believe he would best at slot corner. Just wanted to see people's opinions of IF he got moved to that position. Like I said, unlikely to happen.

Thanks for the write up. Keep it up!

I agree about Thomas. We're all hoping for an Olsen 2.0 but, heck, I'd even relish a Jenkins or Walls clone. Thomas ain't it. For a 4th year player to garner praise from the head coach about having a good offseason this early in the offseason ...... man, I'd start packing.

He looks too trim even for FS. He'd get steam rolled in the running game and wouldn't a heavy hitter in any sense. His speed might good in 3rd and long situations. About it though.

I think he is too small to play the slot and too inconsistent.  But he's certainly shown he's not really an outside corner either. But what do I know.

Thanks for the write up. I am becoming very excited about the upcoming season. I feel like we will be in the mix for a playoff berth.

Jackson can run really fast and has decent ball skills, that's honestly about it. He's really inconsistent and he's a poor tackler. He must have been a terrible route runner or something because honestly his skill set screams slot WR IMO.

I can buy what Rhule I selling.

Last year was the first year of an all new coaching staff, systems. There were no OTA's.  I'm sure it was a struggle for Ian. 

With that being said, I really don't expect much of him. Guess it's just from overall disappointment with him.  

If Rhule is right, we win. 

If he's blowing smoke, we got that covered too.

I was playing madden the other day and downloaded an updated roster (with all the new additions) and the guy that created it had D. Jackson at FS. Obviously this would be with Bouye taking his spot at the CB2 position (after his suspension).

This is probably unlikely, but I wanted to know what some people think about this idea. 

He is the fastest CB in the game, he is a much better CB2 with Horn on the other side. AJ is slot for me. Horn is a beast on there.

I think Grier has ‘moved on’ mentally.

He prob isn’t fully accepting it yet, but his comments the other week tell me he knows he’s not going to make it at this level. 

To be fair he should have never been picked were he was. He's just another example of a poor FO that has now been corrected.

Sean Chandler has some NFL game time experience.  Also works on ST’s.

Yeah I'm not sure why people say he can play the slot. His tackling isn't made for that position. I would be surprised if he's eventually cut.

[GoPanthers123]

Now it dawns on the team they needed to get 2 QBs in draft/offseason as we don’t have a proven back up.  Which again is why Fields pick would make too much sense, let them compete.

"He's small, he can play the slot"

That needs to die sooner rather than later.
