He's also much slower. Grant would have gone through the same enormous hole that Jackson did at the beginning of the game, the only difference is the play would have ended in +6.

Enormous? Grant doesn't make it through that hole, or at best is falling down about 6-8 yards with his legs getting touched.

He hits hard. He can also make cuts and break ankles. Last year he didn't have these abilities. The first half of the Eagles game, short a sample as it may have been, he was doing both of these again.
I like how Jackson played today, but I simply do not believe that he is better than Grant, I mean seriously lets not get too carried away after one game.

They are just different styles. Grant works great with the stretch plays but he runs with to much lean and gets tripped up easy and limits his cut angles.

Honestly, I go with the game plan. If coach runs it, then Ive got to take advantage of my opportunities. Were a pass-first, run-next team, and whenever he calls my number, Ive got to contribute.

I appreciate this quote. I do sincerely like that he is a team player, thats awesome. Idk why it is but I am particularly sensitive to people who show-boat. Great attitude to have, and I hope it's contagious.

AMAZING how people jump right back on the band-wagon of saying BJack is better than Grant after ONE game.

Just last week people were saying that we shouldn't even re-sign him after this season.

CAN SOME OF YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, PLEASE!?!?

Ryan Grant is a top 10 NFL RB. Brandon Jackson is probably a top 30 NFL RB. Or, somewhere around there.

I think you are talking about different cut. Grant is great at the stretch see the hole 1 cut and go plays. He isn't shifty after that though. Jackson has more wiggle in his running. Mostly because Grant once that first cut is done, runs with lean that makes more cutting difficult but lays some power when making contact.

Everybody myself included talks about how slow Jackson is. After watching the replay of his 71 yarder, which just happens to be a longer run than Grant ever had. Is he really that slow?

On that run it took 60 yards for Landy and Hall to catch him. Aren't those two both pretty fast guys. It wasn't like Fat Pat Williams caught him. Hall was already moving in that general direction already. Really seemed like some decent speed minimum.

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
