[QUOTE="GleefulGary, post: 768247, member: 12583"] Don't get me wrong, Jackson isn't bad. He probably is the top corner on some teams boards. He is great with the ball in the air, great RZ CB, good size, seems to have good instincts. With every position, particularly with CB though, you have guys that are scheme dependent. I mean, you're not going to try to make Lamar Jackson play like Tom Brady, ya know? Well...compared to Ward/Alexander, Jackson is very scheme dependent. Put him on a team that runs primarily zone, he's gonna do fine. Put him on a team that runs primarily man, he's not going to do nearly as well. It's like when Hayward left here for the Chargers. Jackson also is not a good tackler, is not physical for the size he has, and really struggles to backpedal. Pettine plays a lot of man, and a lot of press man, all things Jackson just isn't as good at. He's used to dropping in his zone and then pattern matching. Maybe he can learn, but it would definitely be a projection from our scouting department because he just hasn't done it very much, and when he has, it hasn't been great. So Jackson isn't bad, but he is scheme dependent, and our scheme doesn't fit his skills very well. [/QUOTE]
