That was the sound of 'the line' that Fritz just crossed flying by

Ok, back to the list. Why isn't JJ on it??? Not even as an honourable mention?

In the future, a lot of people will be eating crow for bashing the Justin Harrell pick.

A lot of people hope that Harrell develops so we can

Put me on record for doubting Brandon Jackson. Watch, he'll come out and kick ass in the Detroit game. That's OK. I'm like Bretsky. If I'm wrong, I'm glad to be wrong and I'll jump on his band wagon as soon as he shows he has it.


I do think he can be a perfect long term 3rd down back but other than that, he plays smallish, isn't overly fast and doesn't have great instincts hitting the hole. He does have a great feel in space (that is the one thing he does that impresses me. I think he gets every possible yard when he's in space and has a little room to move around). Outside of the 3rd down role, I don't think you want your run game to always get a guy in space. I just don't think Jackson has a wide enough arsenal of RB skills to be "the guy" but I'll be happy to be proven wrong. It's not like he's had even half of a season worth of playing football to judge him with. It really is too early, but my preliminary judgement is that he's not the guy.

As far as Harrell goes, with the position he plays and the injury, I don't even think you can make a judgment. If he was getting washed out on every play we should be worried. He's not playing good but he's a rookie in a tough spot. I thought KY had a perfect, short post that summed up my opinion of Harrell right now.

9. Packers RB Brandon Jackson (second round, 63rd overall): Most figured the former Cornhusker would emerge as the Packers’ workhorse. Instead, his dismal performances helped open the door for revelation Ryan Grant.

What a difference a week makes.

And what a difference it makes when you are playing Detroit's run defense
