His tackling is overblown. He’s not the best at it, I think he shies away from RBs when bearing down on him cuz he’s a little guy, but he’s the best player I remember at closing and tackling on screen passes. He’ll get juked, but at least he’s not out there just trying to shoulder tackle like Reid all the time.

It does seem like Dante takes a lot of chances, some of which result in interceptions, others that leave him out of position. This game would have taken a different direction had the Cardinals been able to hold onto the pass towards the end of the first half and had been able to hit the wide open receiver in the second.

Jackson had a mixed bag, today. 

He completely whiffed on a few tackles but had those two picks. 

He also tried to jump a route and abandoned his assignment and the receiver dropped a wide open reception with no one between him and the endzone. That was a bad blown coverage.

I'd give him a solid B for the day. The picks make up for his shortcomings, but he needs to be more consistent in his coverage and tackling.

If he tightens up his tackling he will be a premier corner.  How many premier coverage CBs are strong tacklers though? (genuine question)  I think his problem is he plays so fast that his tackling suffers.  Prime example is the David Johnson touchdown.  Dante had him dead to rights but basically overran the tackle.

Yes. He almost cost the team a touchdown on that one blown coverage where he bit. Still happy he made two big plays. But there’s always room for improvement.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
