Pregame Thread - Commanders v Eagles

[SFREDSKIN]

William Jackson III

We take zero pleasure in continuing to shed light on Jackson’s poor performance, but what else are we going to do? Lie and pretend like he’s playing well?

Through two games, Jackson has allowed nine catches on 10 targets for 137 yards, which averages out to 15.2 yards per catch. According to PFF, he’s allowed 48 yards after the catch, which emphasizes how soft his coverage has been, and the touchdown he gave up to Amon-Ra St. Brown on Sunday wasn’t pretty.

And finally, Jackson is surrendering a 152.1 passer rating when targeted. Remember, the Commanders have played Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff. Not like we’re talking about Patrick Mahomes or Justin Herbert. Far from it

Someone definitely asked what Jackson did to deserve the ire. I don’t remember who. But they need to read this. Dude has been a straight embarrassment.

That was me lol. Although after watching him flop like a fish in the end zone as the WR caught a TD, I gave up on him. That was terrible.

Im a WJ3 ..... defender? enabler?

He hasnt played well. (he admits that)
He said hes a pro and this isnt his first year in the scheme so he has to play better, no excuses

He is a good press man corner ... and we've used him for 2 years now as a soft cover corner.

Should WJ3 be better by now, regardless of what coaches ask of him? Yes

Should JDR have figured this out by now - either through coaching him better at soft man or putting him in better spots? yes

^^ 12 min highlights of the Lions game

First 3 defensive snaps shown:

0:05 - WJ3 (bottom of screen, #3) playing off LOS
0:23 - soft off LOS
0:59 - lined up on LOS!! but then backpedals 8 yards off the LOS prior to snap

Watch the games, pause rewind and see where we have him playing pre snap. 80% of the time hes 10 yards off the LOS and has to wait for a receiver to run their route in front of him or run by him.

-------------

Hes needs to play better ... but JDR needs to play to his strengths at this point.

JDR needs to scheme and coach

fucking frustrating to watch no adjustments or wrinkles. Only adjustments we made last year re the 3rd long and long LB coverage problem .. was Bostic getting injured and forcing JDR to make a change

Couldn't agree more, especially regarding Bostic injury radically changing the defence in terms of results

I simply said someone was wondering why WJ was catching so much grief in here. Never said that person (apparently you) was defending or enabling him. Lol.

If someone (apparently you) was wondering why he was catching so much shit that post tells you all you need to know.

Think you took my comment the wrong way. Didn’t mean you were defending him. Just that you appeared to be confused as to why he was catching shit.
