Donte Jackson likely OUT vs Houston

Recommended Posts

This is by far the biggest injury of the weekend (outside of Cam).

 

Houston has 2 of the fastest WR in the league (Fuller & Stills).  They routinely run 9 routes.  Jackson is our only corner with enough speed to match them.  It's very concerning to have Cockrell or Elliot or anyone else on either of them.   Expect them to attack us deep early and often.

 

Any thoughts on how to mitigate this?

So is he still floating somewhere above Arizona or has he come down yet?

On a serious note, we mitigate this by unleashing Bruce Irvin and Brian Burns on Desean Watson. Their offensive line is terrible and our front 7 should be able to get to Watson at least 6 times this week. Play Cover 3 and 4 and unleash the beasts that we paid so dearly for. That will mitigate Watson's running, provide help to the corners, and help shorten the game assuming we can run the ball effectively.

Go for the Under on the total, go for 6 sacks for the Panthers, and a likely 2 to 6 point victory for either side.

Did he hurt his groin jumping 40 inches in the air?

I honestly have no idea.  He was limited in practice on Wednesday and then completely out Thursday and Friday.  I don't recall seeing him hurt after that and I don't think he left the field.  That's a good guess though.

I expect Houston to abandon the run and throw downfield all day and this game be a shootout. 34-30 area of points. I hope Allen is up to the challenge

This is exactly what I would do.  They have 3 really good WR.  Our secondary will be test big time.  Running intermediate and deep routes will take our LB  out of pass coverage game too and we will rely solely on our secondary to defend (without DJ, this is bad bad news)

Sheesh. 

The season can play out a million different ways as it pertains to the draft. But there's a range where if the pick falls within it that paying Bradberry AND drafting a Fulton/Diggs makes perfect sense. 

Next man up, good thing Cockrell looks decent so far 

Cockrell absolutely looks solid.  But he's not a speed guy at all.  If we have to use him as our #2 CB then we put Elliot in at nickel.  It weakens two positions at the same time.

We need pass rush big time to survive this game because Watson is going to exploit the hell out of this injury.  And KK is hurt too so then our pass rush is losing the best DL we have.  

 

Bad bad bad bad.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
