[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 834082"] I like Jackson to realize some some upside this season if not exactly a breakout. When it comes to Jackson's and Burks' improvements, it might be more a case of optimism based on need. The defense needs to see their progression. Preseason is 4 games worth of cautionary tales. It's better than rosy reports of scripted reps in non-contact camp drills, but the reality is a disproportionate number of snaps against the #30 - #90 players on the roster with with vet stars playing hardly at all. In the case of Jackson, it is not just a matter of playing against second and third string receivers, it's also the QBs and the O-Line when the starters go to the bench. Based on the last preseason, to take an example, a Gilbert breakout to some degree was expected in some quarters last year. That it didn't happen is a function of competition. Let's face it--by the time you get to the 3rd. and 4th. quarters of these games you're seeing a lot of guys who won't make a roster and any impressive individual performance could be the guy's ceiling against inferior competition, just a good college player.
