what is the scoop on Brandon Jackson (1 Viewer)

[smackdaddies]

as a packer homer, and someone who drafted Jennings last year in every league, BJ looks to be a serious mistake.The packers dumped Ahmann Green, for some reason thinking that rookies and players dumped by other teams had a better shot of making this team competitive.It appears that Packer Management made a serious mistake, not only with BJ, but a variety of decisions on the offensive side. No TE, No RB, Jennings as the only WR (they waited till training camp to deal with Drivers injury from last year?)As of today, BJ is not worth any pick, and I have sereios doubts about any offensive players as starters.

You'd think a Packer homer would be able to spell that all-time leading rusher's name, but I digress. The Packers management appears to have miscalculated the TE and RB positions. But overall this offense is in far better shape than the top heavy mess that Mike Sherman left them. Tony Moll, Jason Spitz, and Daryn Colledge all appear to be nice players. Greg Jennings look to be players as well, leaving the receiver corps in possibly the best shape it's been in for 10 years. I think Driver, Favre, and Jennings are all going to be start-worthy.

As a Packer Fan, I know Ahmann Green is not the Packers all time leading rusher.But I digress....

No kidding. I can't even find a guy in their record book by that name.

ohhh, good one. Got me there. Of course I think most forum posters would rather get the facts right rather than spelling, but I digress.

I watched the Packers' scrimmage from last night and I thought Brandon Jackson looked as good as anyone on the field. You can see the open-field elusiveness and speed that he brings to the offense.I don't see what all the doomsayers are talking about.

I admit I didn't see the scrimmage, but the 3.2YPC doesn't have me over awed by him.

Big, fat

Thanks for adding something positive. I already said I didn't see the scrimmage... what was so inspiring about his running?? Someone wanna fill me in?

What about DeShawn Wynn?

He looks good on paper but everything I've read about him says he has a bad work ethic

I don't doubt that.. what was special about him?

Not a GB homer, but I don't really understand all the negativity around Brandon Jackson. From what I've read, everybody is very happy with his running, which is the most important thing for a rookie RB (you can learn to block).

If Jackson were trying to get on the field against an established vet (like MJD, Maroney, Norwood last year), the blocking would be a big deal. But with limited competition to begin with and Morency injured, I don't think the blocking troubles are anything to be worried about in the long run.

The way he caught the ball in traffic. The way he eluded tacklers. The speed and effort he displayed when he ran all the way down field to make a tackle after a Favre pick.

LOL. So wait, you post a negative comment, but I'm not allowed to respond by being negative? Makes sense to me...

Difference -My negative comment was not about you. It was merely a statement that from the stattline he didn't seem impressive, but I hadn't seen him play.You could have replied with what you saw that made him stand out. Obviously that's what I was looking for.

Thanks... the good hands will be a definite positive in GB's offense.I guess I will have to see if I can catch some footage to see his rushing.

Maybe it took him a couple of tries to pound it in for his TD thus hurting his ypc?

Agreed. Guess your original comment seemed absurd after the first seven words, thus prompting my absurd response.

He hit the hole with good speed and power. He looked very descisive when hitting the holes. Very good hands and looked good running his routes. Looked like he got along good with the guys, especially with Favre (many of pats on the butt from Favre to BJax) which I would definetly say matters in GB. The extra hustle to track down the interception before a defensive player took it to the house in a scrimmage. I'd say Herron technically looked better than him in the offense but I just don't know if he has an upside. B-Jax looked like an all around good prospect in every way. I hope that helped alittle Switz. If you get to watch him in a preseason game I think you'll be pleastly surprised. Looked very powerful on his td run from the 1 yard line and looked explosive on his long reception..

I started the Brandon Jackson bandwagon around here before the NFL draft as many had not heard of him back in February. That being said, I stated he'd need a year of seasoning before making an impact in the NFL and I still believe that.

The shark play is this: Buy Morency now if the price is right because he is more NFL ready. As Jackson's value lessens during the season acquire him in keeper leagues.

FTR, I'm staying away from both in expert leagues given their ADP...there are better sleeper situations IMHO.

Nothing H about your O, man. You toot your own horn more than anybody.
