obie_wan Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Brandon Jackson has been flying under the radar, but I have been pimping for a while as worthwhile target in the 3rd round as a viable cog in the the Bills RBBC. If the Bills can't get Turner for a 3rd round pick, they should consider Jackson in the 3rd. Breaking Down the Tape - Brandon Jackson, RB, Nebraska by John Powderly (aka ConstruxBoy) Highlight Video http://nfldraftguys.com/features/Tape_Brea...don_Jackson.php Break Down the Tape: 1st Run - 00:05 Decisive and strong through the hole; good pad level; nice forward lean; does a good job at 00:09 leaning forward and right to absorb the hit and fall forward for several more yards 2nd Run - 00:14 - TD Tough camera angle here; looks like a nice plant and go through the hole; nice job lowering his pads and protecting the ball as he takes a hit getting in the endzone 3rd Run - 00:19 Quick through a big hole; needs to make a better stiff arm at 00:21, looks indecisive there, slowed for stiff arm, but then tried to run left and got tripped up by the ankle 4th Run - 00:23 - TD Sweep left; pursuit is there first, not sure if he's slow to the corner or if they read the play; nice gear down and cutback move at 00:26 when he realizes he can't outrun them; good balance getting his hand down; good vision and wiggle in tight space to get through crowd and to the sideline; excellent juke at 00:29 without gearing down very much; nice job to keep legs churning and spin into the endzone; good run 5th Run - 00:32 - At Kansas State Nice hesitation in the backfield to let the hole open, does it without wasting motion; great tight space vision, moving to the right to avoid the LB and then turning it back to the left to avoid the crowd; good vision and avoidance of the official at 00:38; stumbles for some reason at the 45 yard line, must be that Kansas State turf monster; defender has a bit of an angle but a faster RB would have run away from him and eliminated the angle; nice stiff arm/shoulder put on the defender as he goes out of bounds, doesn't go out without a fight 6th Run - 00:44 Nice quick move in the backfield at 00:47 to allude a defender breaking through the line; nice speed turning the corner and runs away from pursuers without an angle; decent gear down when he sees the defender has the angle and nice move to the inside, but a defender is right there 7th Run - 00:54 - At Kansas State Very nice cutback at the LOS to find a hole; nice quickness in a tight space to get by the group of defenders; good avoidance of a diving defender at 00:58; ball not quite as tight to the body as it should be when he gets hit from behind, but he has a nice forward lean there and keeps driving through the tackle 8th Run/Catch - 01:02 Nice catch, although he seems to fight it a bit; bad camera angle and the clip cuts off 9th Run - 01:08 - At Oklahoma State Very fast through a big hole; seems to make the wrong move at 1:11, looks like the left side is more open with a blocker as well, not a good open field move there 10th Run - 01:13 Very nice slip move in the backfield to get by an upfield defender; plants and gets through the hole quickly; runs pretty well in tight space, but runs up the back of his blocker, but does a good job of keeping his legs churning; this clip shows pretty well that he's really more of a downhill runner and isn't going to making many multi-cut runs 11th Run - 01:18 Nice plant with the left foot as he gets through the hole; nice pad level; just as I say he doesn't make good open field moves, he puts a very nice move at 1:20; loses his balance after the cut though 12th Run - 01:22 - TD Pretty quickly through the hole, but a little bit too upright; looks like a real nice juke at 01:24, hard to tell with the video quality; sees the opening to the outside and gets to the endzone quite easily 13th Run - 01:32 Outside pitch, turns it upfield well without needing to gear down; hard to tell because of the video, but it looks like he does a great job lowering his shoulder and hitting a defender(#33) with power at 01:33; slides off the defender well and heads upfield; a freeze frame at 01:34 shows him in great form after getting by the defender: crouched at a great pad level, ball in a safe position and right arm extended, hips upfield; uses that extended arm to stiff arm a defender and get several more yards; very impressive run Replay of 13th Run at 01:37 Shows fantastic pad level and power at 01:39 when he takes on the defender 14th Run - 01:44 Nice job running through a small hole and breaking into the second level; nice job getting into the third level, but gets tackled by a DB; might be better suited just running away from the player and trying a stiff arm instead of trying to make a open field move there; does do a very nice job fighting for extra yards by keeping his legs moving 15th Run - 01:52 Very nice breakdown move in the open field at 01:53; uses off arm well to finish off the move; nice job continuing upfield, this time doesn't make too much of a move, but tries to get away from the defender using a stiff arm; runs with a lot of energy, if not explosiveness 16th Run - 02:02 - TD Bad camera angle; cuts back across the field on a misdirection play; does a nice job with subtle change of speed moves here, slowing down a little and then just speeding up and stretching his body away from the tackle, it might not be as effective in the NFL, but it's still a nice move for him; although he does have the ball close to his body, he should have switched it to his outside arm, this is correctable however; freeze frame at 02:13 shows the great forward lean he has as he gets by the last defender and starts a sprint; film cuts off, but I assume he scored here 17th Run - 02:21 Nice vision and lateral quickness here to cut the run back; at 02:24 you see a problem with the stretch away from the defender move, it leaves him off balance and he gets pulled down by the helmet, leading with his helmet and shoulder there would probably have prevented that; notice the ball in the left arm again 18th Run/Catch - 02:27 Good catch in stride, very nice juke at 02:29 without gearing down; runs through an arm tackle well; does a good job protecting the ball with both hands when being tackled 19th Run - 02:33 Runs with a purpose; seems to take a little more time with cuts than he should here; gets through a tight hole and goes; ball in correct arm here; shows that he lacks the long speed here, but that's still almost a 30 yard gain 20th Run - 02:40 goes outside and shows nice acceleration around the corner here; nice plant and go without much gearing down as he turns the corner; good job lowering his pads at 02:43 to take on the defenders and get several more yeards after initial contact 21st Run - 02:45 Quick burst after the handoff and makes a good cut in the backfield to hit the hole with speed; gets tripped up by a low arm tackle, looks like he tried to shuffle to his right instead of running through it; shows some nice balance keeping his feet and getting 4 or 5 more yards 22nd Run - 02:49 - Oklahoma State - TD A slow motion highlight from the low defensive backfield; lead blocker (#41) makes it hard to see Jackson; does a nice job following the blocker and then avoids a diving defender to get into the endzone 23rd Run - 03:02 Short clip; makes a quick move outside to get around the corner; puts a decent juke on a defender, but clip ends before we can see the result 24th Run/Catch - 03:07 - TD Very nice catch at the back of the endzone; looks like he ran a wheel route and beat a linebacker 25th Run - 03:12 Big hole up the middle; nice quick direction changes with minimal gear down; very nice job of running in a tight space at 03:15, sees there is no opening for a cutback, so he goes right in between masses of bodies, protects the ball and keeps his legs churning, bouncing off several; great job at 03:16 to keep moving even as he gets turned around; outstanding effort 26th Run/Catch - 03:18 Nice catch in the flat; very nice breakdown move at 03:21 to get by first defender; very strong stick by the defender at 03:23 to knock him back, he wasn't square because of eluding another tackle right before the hit, not much he can do there; shows good effort trying to get back to the first down marker, maybe should have just fallen at the initial hit to ensure the first down but that's much easier to say than to do 27th Run - 03:26 - TD Nice balance at 03:28 to stay on feet after an ankle grabber; slides into the endzone; really moves well laterally 28th Run - 03:32 slow motion low angle clip; nice cut into the second level; slides past a defender at 03:38; shows some good determintaion and hand fighting skills at 03:43 and through the end of the run; would have liked to see him lower the shoulder a little bit more there; I think that he sometimes isn't sure when to make a move and when to drive into the defender 29th Run - 03:48 Sweep; reads hole well and cuts to it at 03:50; good quickness through the first level; nice slide to avoide diving defender at the 10 yard line; good job turning it up the sideline with minimal down gear when he sees the small gap between defenders 30th Run/Catch - 03:57 Very nice catch on a high throw and does a great job of getting in a positive position as he hits the ground; because he got into that position he has time to quickly duck down and spin out of a move; clip ends before we can see much more 31st Run - 04:03 Lots of room to run; does a good job of eating up the angles of defenders 32nd Run/Catch - 04:09 Screen pass; nice quickness through the hole; good body lean; good balance at 04:14 as he avoids an ankle tackle; camera angle switches to a better view at 04:16 as he does a very good job hand fighting and continuing to gain yards; takes two defenders to finally get him down; impressive run 33rd Run - 04:19 Outstanding example of running in a tight space here as he picks his way through groups of blockers and defenders; slides through into the second level without losing much momentum; great start/stop move at 04:20; when he sees that there isn't much more he can do laterally, he lowers his shoulders and plows ahead for as much yardage as he can; this may look like a rather blah highlight, but it is really an excellent example of what a run by him in the NFL may look like, with lots of tight spaces and fast defenders, his ability to pick his way into the second level here is an excellent indicator that he should have success in the NFL 34th Run - 04:23 Nice quickness through the hole; great job shaking off the ankle tackle at 04:25; nice job protecting the ball with both hands as he gets into a group of defenders; as we've seen before, he does a great job fighting for extra yardage in the scrum 35th Run - 04:30 At Oklahoma State Very nice speed into the second level; Great open field breakdown move at 04:33, leaves the defender looking silly; good lean at the end as he gets tackled from behind to get more yardage Brandon Jackson Summary: Whew, is it over yet? Very long video with some short clips and bad camera angles. But I saw enough to be very impressed with Brandon Jackson. He runs with purpose and high effort. He has enough quickness and very good vision. He runs very well in tight spaces and yet can make a great breakdown move on a defender in open space. He catches the ball very well and looks natural and fluid translating the catch to a run. Jackson is a great example of a Non-one cut runner. Other RBs I've reviewed, like Pittman and Hunt, make one cut and are then running downhill with only small lateral movements. Jackson is always looking for cuts and lateral moves to make as he gets into the second level. He could use some more work on protecting the ball and using the correct arm to carry it, as well as on the decision making aspect of lowering his shoulder versus making a move. But those are minor things. He looks the most like the model RB, Tomlinson, of anyone I've reviewed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I would put Jackson right behind Pittman as the last of the four running backs that can help our offense get to the next level. Peterson, Lynch, Pittman and Jackson. We won't be happy if we dont get turner or one of those four. And Jackson and Pittman are still up in the air. please give me AP, ML or the Burner(no 1st round picks)!!!! I beg you marv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 You know, as much as it pains me to do this...I have to agree with Obie BJ is definately flying under the radar and would provide speed and hands to our Backfield by committee. However, I don't think he is flying low enough to make it to the third round and we might need to take him in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I've been pimping BJax for awhile now. He's really not big enough to handle RB duties alone, but in an RBBC with a big back to complement him, he'd be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obie_wan Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 How does Jackson look if you take out his longest run... Since he can pass block, run block, run patterns and catch the ball in addition to running with it - pretty good. On Turner- My point is that Turner has more chance of being a one dimensional player who benefitted greatly from LT wearing down a defense than he does at being a feature back - especically for teh picks and cash needed to acquire him.

Ozymandius Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Turner is a much better RB prospect than BJax, as much as I like him. Turner can break tackles that BJax can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Jackson lacks ideal speed and will pretty much never break away from the pack. He is very good between the tackles and makes nice cuts, but when getting to that second level of defenders is where he will be caught. If we griped about McGahee never breaking a run longer than 30 yards then Jackson certainly isnt our back. He would fit well on a team who already has a speed back and needs a compliment, but with Anthony Thomas already here we dont need another back of this style.

I agree with your top 3 but would list Kenny Irons as #4 and like Jackson as #5 but of course have questions about Jackson. As one year is hard to judge a guy on. All things being considered I really think Irons is going to end up our pick in Round 2 assuming we get Patrick Willis with our top pick. Now if Willis isn't available we might go with Marshall Lynch which that scratches any plans for a RB in Round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I still think Tony Hunt is the best guy to take in the middle rounds. Pittman is a thief and I would never cheer for that a-hole, and I think Lynch at 12 is the wrong pick...we need LB help first. Hunt or Kenny Irons. I dont know much about Jackson...and based on that I cant think he is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I was on Hunt's band wagon for the longest time but since moved off it when he ran a disappointing 4.68 at his pro day which to me means he won't be drafted until Round 4 at the earliest.

The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I know that people place so much emphasis on 40 times...but when was the last time you saw an NFL player in a game situation wearing a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt starting from a track stance and runnning 40yds as fast as possible in a straight line down an all-weather track? My point is just because a guy isnt the fastest dude at his position doesnt mean he cant play. Jarrett from USC...I hate the guy but he can freakin' play football and is IMO right behind Johnson as the #2 receiver in this draft...but he isnt as fast as Mecham so he is rated as not as good...if you take just the stats and multiply those by the intangibles like football smarts and instincts for the game then 40 times dont mean crap. I know you cant teach speed and that speed kills, but you cant teach a cut back either...some guys have it and some guys dont. I think T.Hunt is the back that can provide the most value when he is picked. I am hoping for Marv and Co. to use the second rd. 3 pick for Tony Hunt.

WVUFootball29 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...b/tonyhunt.html Tony Hunt is bigger and ran for way more yards and 11 more tds than Jackson...the stats dont lie... Ron Dayne has some of the best rushing stats in NCAA history and is a total bust in the NFL. Stats don't tell the whole story. Hunt had atrocious numbers at the combine and his Proday...he's slipping as an NFL prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billrooter Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Brandon Jackson has been flying under the radar, but I have been pimping for a while as worthwhile target in the 3rd round as a viable cog in the the Bills RBBC. I am a nebraska fan and though jackson doesn't have breakaway speed he is a real good between the tackles runner and has nice hands, i would love for him to be part of the bills backfield, and however i am biased he can be picked at a nice value position in the draft and i hope we get him. He also does not have much wear and tear as he has been used out of a stacked backfiled now for the last two years, i think he's a diamond in the rough.
