    He is a good returner. However he was fortunate enough to play with a dominate front 7 and which made his life very easy. I wouldn't say great instincts, id say average. Numerous interceptions of his were handed right to him due to terrible throws (thanks to the front 7). Loses track of his coverage responsibilities as he tries too hard anticipating the QB. Still needs improvement in the physical part of his game. Its really just one of those situations where the surrounding cast makes the player look so much better than he really is.

    I don't buy into that argument too much, front 7 also relies on guys to cover at the back.

    Jackson definitely has room to improve but he's been a safety for just 2 seasons, after playing WR in high school and CB in his first season in college. The only real knock on him for me is physicality but he'd have time to improve on that while learning from the master.

    @allblackraven If you want to see incredible instincts watch Lorenzo Jerome. Ridiculous ball skills. The knock on him is he is from a small school and a little small, but he played great at the senior bowl and NFLPA game. He is also a great kick returner.

    Mentioned before, I haven't had much time to watch as many players as I'd like. Will check him out, at least highlight reel before the clock starts.

    Define very good...because our definitions must be very different. He is overhyped.

    Great instincts and nose for the ball and better hands than most WRs (he was one before Saban turned him into DB). Range to cover over the top and in the middle. Deadly returner. Improved a lot in physical part of the game / tackling. Lines up secondary. Team captain.

    Ozzie just confirmed that Elflein was sniped from us and that's why we ended up with Wormley.  He didn't say Elflein but he said some offensive players were taken a pick or a few picks before we were up.  Elflein fits that perfectly.  

    If it was him, I think we sign Mangold next week. I think it was Kupp, though.

    Maybe the Ravens hope that the defense will be so good, it will set a historic NFL record and just give Flacco the ball in or very close to the endzone.  Maybe Ozzie and crew are ahead of the curve and are planning to just score using the defense. 

    Maybe.

    Tomorrow we take Eddie Jackson.
