Dane Jackson played pretty well

Obviously the New England game was a soft landing for him but yesterday was a game where Dane could have been exposed. I’d say for the most part he was at least pretty solid. Maybe we got lucky with this guy and maybe we won’t be totally screwed without Tre. Obviously still very upset about the loss but wanted to show some appreciation to Dane for what I thought was a more then respectable showing.

Agreed. My one question is who had responsibility for Perriman. It appears it wasn't Edmunds, who was apparently supposed to hand him off to a DB. That makes sense because you don't cover a WR with a LB.

It was Dane.  However, it was a rub play.   When he chased Perriman across the middle he got blocked out of coverage.

 Jackson should have prevented it from being a TD after the catch, but Edmunds is who needed to prevent the catch.

What I dont understand even more, is where was the safety help.  How did an entire right side of the field have no defensive backs what so ever and just a MLB who isnt fast enough to keep up with a speed WR?  How is there no safety help even in the middle of the field where they could have at least cut off the route to prevent the TD?  

 

Either an absolute terrible play call/design, or some of our guys completely screwed the pooch on that play.  Because even if Dane was on Perriman, he isnt fast enough to keep up with him and I don't think the play results in anything different given Perriman has a free run to the end zone on the initial separation anyway.

You're running the wrong scheme if you're having a LB cover arguably the fastest player in the league (4.25 40 time; one scout timed him at 4.19). McDermott and Frazier aren't stupid. There was a breakdown.

It was Johnson. Play is broken down here.

Could be a blessing in disguise for next year.  We need our premium picks for other positions, and from what i've seen from Jackson, we should feel pretty confident in a CB unit that consists of Tre, Dane and Levi on the outside (I do think Levi is worth re-signing).

Outside of the last play of the game I thought Dane was phenomenal! Great tackling, Held up in coverage on Gonk, held his own against others. He's an excellent depth player for this team and I hope he keeps up the good play out there in Tre-day's absence.

Dane was solid. Makes me feel great about our CB situation long term.

Maybe Corner isn't a dire need in rounds 1 and 2 of next year... a lot of us, including me, have been wrong on that one.

 

If that's the case, I would feel great about:

1st Round: Guard/Center/1-Tech DT

2nd Round: Guard/Center/1-Tech DT

3rd Round: Guard/Center/1-Tech DT

 

Get a nice vet RB in free agency and maybe a WR as well.

Not a lot of tinkering needed if the CB situation is settled after Tre gets back.

I was surprised how often he ended up alone on Gronk actually 

That is good scheme. Best way to stop Gronk was always to cover him with CB. He's too fast for a LB. And he is bigger than everyone anyways. 

 

Dane was good enough to be CB#2 or at least solid depth. Levi has been solid all year too. If they both come back it will give insurance that White can recover fully before being pressed into action.

I'm a big fan of Dane Jackson.  Media is saying we really missed Tre and that's why we got carved up by TB, especially in the first half.  Of course we're better with Tre but Dane played great.  He's a solid starting NFL CB2 all day.  Brady had success due to a lack of pressure by our front.
