We need a RB now!!!
worst idea ever
3rd and 2, and empty backfield?I think we saw today that running back is NOT what we need. Jackson proved he is good between the tackles and good for the pass.

you forget bigby and harris are back in two weeks?

*coughs*
So, umm, Theodore, Carolina's 0-5. Probably looking to rebuild. And that DeAngelo Williams would look awful nice in green and gold.
Obviously I don't think there's a chance in hell Ted will do it. No shot. But it's what I would do, if he could be had for a reasonable price.
good for the pass, yes.... very good 3rd down back. Good to be an every down back? no way! Remember, 70+ of his yards today came on ONE play. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut
Ok, now does anybody think our pass defense needs help? We got shredded in the secondary.
Right, but the funny thing is you kinda need to commit to the run in order to find those nuts. 10 carries isn't committing to the run.
By the way, you take away the 71 yard gain, and he still averaged 4.8 yards per carry. Not sure what more the guy can do if he's not given an opportunity to run the ball.
Side note, we had Bulaga starting at right tackle today...
I too wish MM would have committed to the run. . After Jackson broke off that big run I was waiting to see if he could break another one.. Wish he woulda had upwards of 16-23 carries instead of 10.. Need to build the guys confidence if we're really gunna roll with him as our starter for the season
This is probably the single most confusing thing of that whole game yesterday. It looked liked Jackson was in a groove and prepared to carve up a lot of yardage. The holes were there. He saw them and he was running to daylight. It didn't look like Washington had an answer for it.
Now I know the West Coast Offense is predicated on throwing the ball to set up the run, but when the run is working so well, why not show a little flexibility and keep running until the opponent proves they can stop it? I just don't get why they didn't keep attacking that one gap in particular. Jackson could have run through it all day.
I agree, but you gotta start somewhere.Looks like as the season is progressing, we need more than just a running back to take care of the issues.
Jerome Harrison could've been had relatively cheap, me thinks. Traded today to Philly for Mike Bell.
What's the draft pick equivalent of Mike Bell? A fifth rounder?
Yes./sigh I knew it was only a matter of time...
Seriously, are you guys so desperate for us to make a move that you're willing to trade draft picks for someone else's backup?
Yes.
Because their backups are better than ours. Last time Brandon Jackson ran for 286 yards in a game? Never.
Harrison had 682 yards in the 4 games he had 20+ carries last year. You think Jackson's capable of that?
