Should Douglas be starting over Jackson/Pride?

[ForJimmy]

Let Jackson try some Nickel with Douglas/Pride on the outside.

jackson had a bad game, but he's a guy that a lot of people were excited for rhule to coach up due to his history at baylor. i'd say just let donte stay in and get coached up

[Soul Rebel]

100% should be starting. He could be a permanent fixture as well if he remains consistent. Problem in PHI was his strengths as a zone CB didn't jive as much in that scheme...perhaps a change of scenery is all he needed.

A 6'2" corner that just turned 25 last month is worth taking a gamble on (no pun intended). 

Jackson seems like a nickel CB to me that relies on athleticism. He could be good or pedestrian....I think he has shown equal flashes of both. 

Iron sharpens iron.

[Mr. Scot]

He looked way more disciplined, for sure.

Of course if he didn't look more disciplined than a rookie, that'd be a real problem.

Douglas is clearly one of our better corners it will not be long before he is starting, its really just a matter of time

Douglas runs a 4.6 so he cannot press man. But Norman ran a 4.64 and he was ok facing the QB.   With no good S help, a slow CB can be exposed, and I see teams trying to get that matchup and look Bob Marley off.  However, we can play a cushion and jump routes when we get a decent S.  There was a deep ball early in the game that burned Boston badly---and when that happens, people tend to blame the CB.  I am for putting Hartsfield there, bring up Robinson, and send Reggae Toast to the trading block.  We know what we have in Boston---a no tackling, slow reacting center fielder.  Let's find out if we can develop what could be one of the best athletes on the team---Hartsfield.

Donte can rotate in to cover the slot. Let Rasul and Pride Jr get the start and the reps. Football is for men, not little boys.

He can't tackle---the only issue with that.

The Legion of Boom made a living off of playing press with 4.6 CBs, but they had Earl Thomas on the back end to take care of the deep third.

Good point.  I should have made it.

No argument there. Should have kept Cockrell.

[ClawOn]

This staff doesn't have blind loyalty to vets, so reasonable that they give Douglas a shot next week.

We don't know yet. Rhule said in his presser he didn't even know yet 

He hurt his feelings.  Jackson is all mouth and no ass.

Dounglas, Brown, Chinn, Roy and burris at times where the only ones playing with effort. Snow got his plate FULL on how to figure this problem out. There was a reason the panthers spent all draft picks on D, maybe need to do that next year too....

They will be dumpster diving throughout this season...I hope.   Because they need help just about everywhere except maybe DT.   KK should have been cut instead of extending.  He is just going through the motions.   It's a mess.
