Mike Jackson

[Pejorative Miscreant]

He’s a serviceable starter for us that doesn’t cost much. The reason he doesn’t cost much is that he has flaws, one of which appears to be catching the ball.  It would be good to have a better corner opposite JC but he’s not at the top of the list when it comes to people we need to upgrade.

The ball hung in the air too long and his anticipation didnt match. He jumped way too early. In all actuality waiting for the ball to arrive is really hard when you're off stride but still got to catch it at the least.

He would have gotten caught at the 15.

Jackson could never intercept a ball for the rest of his career and he’s still a very solid starting CB. It’s crazy to me people are saying things like he sucks or a good team would replace him. He’s been very good at covering guys and deflecting passes, which is even more impressive given that teams avoid the other side of the field cuz of Horn. Jackson is one of the better #2 CBs in the league and no amount of dropped interceptions changes that.

? Should be great, you should never have to cover their WR1 so you get to pad your stats. Except for the Dallas game for whatever reason he got Lamb almost every snap

That’s not how it works, especially since we don’t have Horn follow #1s. It’s hell because the other team is usually throwing at you because Horn takes away the other option.

He was thinking of his TD celebration before catching it 

Exactly, He saw open field and took his eyes off the ball.  It doesn't get much easier.  

It so easy to F it up when you see that much space in front of you.

While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ...

Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field.  As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other.

It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve?

If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field?

Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field?  Why make life easier for your best CB?

This whole sequence rules lol

 

The thing I notice about this?  Watch Scourton.  The man is going to be a beast in the NFL--no quit.  He runs about 60 yards on this play. And when Love runs back across the field, he takes a great angle.

Sounds like an Evero issue if Horn isn't shadowing WR1 lol. 

Yea its kind of weird.   Horn doesnt shadow and always stays on the short side of the field.

Wonder if that is because he can cheat his safeties to the other side?

[trucpfan]

They asked about it and the answer was we play primary zone defense so having Horn shadow changes the whole scheme for everyone. Seattle ran this with Sherman he never switched sides. Evero has almost indirectly mentioned us not having a good enough defense yet from our pass rush to our secondary to leave players in man. So he is using Horn to take away a section of the field and making adjustments around the rest. I’m not sure I 100% agree, but it does make sense and provides a legit reason IMO.

I also like the blatant hold on DB within the first couple seconds that was ignored.

Thats my understanding as well. Im sure he could follow a guy around all game like Revis used to but then were putting the rest of our defense in man and that would be a bad idea
