since68andcounting Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The guy is running extremely hard. He's punishing people. Cookie abandons the run waaaay too early. He'd rather throw 10 bubble screens so Julio can drop 5 of them.If we feed Jackson the ball more, especially late, we will begin closing out games with a W.

Dunn-Vick-Duckett Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 You and me both dude. Hungry SJax needs to be fed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybird2k5 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He beasts when he gets the ball. Smith has looked like sh*t the last four or so games. Quiz and Free aren't anything special. My real beef is with Alford. Pure trash as a corner and has no business on the field. I am glad they switched McClain out for Wilson, but now with McClain out, offenses have found a new DB to pick on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballfan Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Jax looks old and slow. Makes contact, because he has no ability to avoid it. Zero burst, does fine when he goes straight ahead up field. Pretty average now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEIST Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 many won't see you complaint...for all of you not paying attention...Alford was taken right before Lacy.correct. but at the same time, we had just signed sjax to be a stopgap. maybe he should've been the top player on our board (apparently alford was). sucks how things panned out, i didn't like the alford pick anyway though.

Sponge Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 many won't see you complaint...for all of you not paying attention...Alford was taken right before Lacy.I still have no idea why we used a 2rd pick on him. He would have been there in the 5th. Another TD tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another TD tragedy.Could have taken Cooper in the 7th instead of Motta. Some of the guys on this board wanted him at FS. He's playing on Alford's level at corner.

since68andcounting Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Freeman should be odd man out imo. He's got plenty of years to develop and prove himself. To me at this point, he's just a less experienced Quizz. Quizz is a gamer. He's smart and very situationally aware. He has a nose for the 1st down sticks. And today when he got the ball to the ref and got his helmet on so that we could spike the ball for the FG. That's smart football.Smith is just fast. You can't coach speed. But he is NOT an inside runner. Ironically the way we were using him early in the season is the proper way. Change of pace in open field. Throw the screens to him not the WRs.SJax ain't gonna outrun anyone. But if he gets to the LOS with momentum he is tough to stop. It's the cumulative effect he has on a defense that matters. It's punishing. He needs more carries imo. It also gives our young lineman more of an aggressive attitude to hopefully build confidence.

⚡Slumerican⚡ Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He's really ran hard this year, I'll give him credit and may even wear my #39 Jersey to the Browns game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobs Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He is also still a rookie. I cont care much if he is special , but i do think he is good just need some time to develop like any other rookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krammmit Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I don't hate SJAX I just don't know what we gain from him getting the majority of the snaps. I see more spark from Freeman. SJAX has had some huge holes to run through and with Freeman or Smith those 9 yard gains could be 20 yard gains. Smith has proven he just needs a small opening and he's gone.

red falcon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah I don't understand how you can count freeman out already. Looking at today I think we need to move away from the committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty average now.yeah... average of 3.8 yards a carry and he doesn't get 2nd half carries where he is most effective.....sjax has been the most consistent falcon of 2014....if you disagree please tell me who has been more consistent than sjax......its sad, but its true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

va2ga Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Let the flaming begin, but I'm not a fan of Trufant. He's sticky with the receivers but he has ZERO ball skills. If I were a quarterback, I wouldn't be afraid to test him because if my receiver doesn't catch the ball, then the ground will. He would have 5+ interceptions right now if he could catch.

Emmitt Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I love the way Jackson runs. I just wish we didn't take him out as much and feed him the rock more. I've never understood the hate he gets. If everyone worked as hard, we wouldn't be be in this situation record wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Jax still has some juice in his wheels, but he is past his prime. That money would have been better spent on Grimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
