I am one of those (few?) that have repeatedly stated that we do not- and cannot- know the true potential of any of these RB's until we have a line that opens an -actual- hole for them on a consistent basis.
I couldn't STAND watching Jackson as a rookie. Many have accused Grant of "missing the hole" --and he has, on many occasions, but compared to Jackson, Grant seemed to find the ability to actually hit that (ridiculous) "seam" that MM and the (even more ridiculous) ZBS--at least as how it is employed in GB- affords a running back.
IF- Brandon Jackson is successful, it will be because HE TOO has truly learned how to "hit it and get it" as Grant did... (Grant deserves FAR MORE credit than given-by some- imo- for this) A one cut and hit the unreasonable facsimile :tongue3: of a hole our line and scheme afford.
If- this line is fixed, they sure have me hood-winked.
If- Jackson reverts/displays his (former?) tendencies to run up the keester of our linemen...and I am VERY afraid he will...
If- Foster was the head coach, I'd be seriously considering putting the ball in KUHN's hands instead of Jackson's...At least he has a good shot at knocking over everybody when he runs up the ass of one of our guards or tackles...He is a nice "load" when rumblin'...
I like Kuhn. I really like him. (Maybe it was that game glove and autograph, lol) I don't hate Jackson, either. I just don't trust his capacity to OVERCOME what I perceive as a liability...our line...STILL.
I think the players are on this team to alleviate my concerns, unfortunately, I don't think enough of them are on the field yet, and it is jmo/guess/perception, thus far.
