He certainly has the potential. I just wonder if they shift him into the nickel spot this year. 

I just don't think he's physical enough to play it. Teams would run the ball right at him like

Especially since most of our DEs are more adept at rushing the passer than stopping the run.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. You compliment RR and his staff for basically having two meh years and say they are better than Rhule’s staff when last year was his best year ever? His rookie year was a mirage. He had a few early interceptions that made it seem like he was great but he got ripped a new one left and right all year. Seemed like in the second half he gave up a long play or TD per game.

Also, Wilks was in Arizona in 2018. He never coached Jackson at all.

IMHO, Rhule’s crew got way more out of him than RR’s. As usual, Ron didn’t really improve him. The flashes were pure athleticism not being coached up. That’s why Ron prefers vets and why he got lucky to have Luke and Cam to carry him. Same with Washington, he landed in a team full of studs on D and still was mediocre and needed Heinecke to play his ass off to make them look decent in the playoffs

Trying to say one of Riveras strengths is CB and choosing coaches for CB. The natural growth could be the reason for Djack improvement form Ron to Rhule, or maybe I am not giving enough credit to Evan Cooper. Not going to place much blame for Djacks first two seasons at the feet of Ron/crew, hes a young guy finding out what works. Rivera and his CB crew seem to get more out of CBs than normal, all while having less talent during. Its a long list and it did blow up during the Norman tag saga. Gman should have called Normans bluff about not reporting, but he had some weird rule about not letting players become distractions.  

All coaches prefer vets, all of them, I can not blame ron for that. I do for not developing players/rookies, that seems to be a strength of Rhules and his crew. Just like all coaches prefer vets, all coaches are trying to develop rookies and all players in general. That seems to be a focus of Rhule and he doesnt use rookies as a excuse, maybe my favorite thing about Rhule. Ron went to WFT cause Danny gave him more power/control/money than about any HC. WFT does have the best DL in the NFL and Ron knows how much that can cover his faults. Plus that division is the biggest joke to boot.

They are looking at Bouye to play Nickel. If not him then Hartsfield most likely because of the need to be physical and play the run. That's not Djack's specialty.

AJ told the media the team wants him at NB this year. Unless something big changes, it seems Djack will mainly play outside.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
