Does anyone know how Chad Jackson is doing?

Ahman Green has been in court so many times for this kind of stuff...and what impact has it had on his NFL career? None.

Why would it affect Holmes? Please elaborate.

Charmin never ran a tight skip like Pittsburg, though

I believe Ahman had one of his run-ins thrown out and the other was plea bargained to a lesser count or something like that. I guess it depends what kind of charge stems for these charges. But, yes, it should be a concern for Pittsburgh--just like it was a concern for Packer fans with Ahman. I'd rather not have my rookie wideout have this kind of offseason record.

2nd tier must kick into gear: No margin for error

You never want your Super Bowl hopes to rest on two rookies and two veteran disappointments, but barring any late signings or trades, that could very well be the situation facing the Patriots heading into the 2006 season.

To put it another way, the Pats are a team with a host of players who “had better . . .”

A few examples of what we mean:

Chad Jackson had better be as good as he’s looked in non-contact workouts.

The Patriots receiving corps is dangerously thin, especially with Deion Branch still out in a contract dispute. Even if Branch returns prior to the start of the regular season,the need for a legitimate threat opposite him is huge. Without it, defenses will be free to roll coverages to Branch’s side and effectively take him out of the game plan, which happened in the past when David Givens was out of the lineup.


It was obvious at minicamp two weeks ago that Tom Brady was short of weaponry at receiver. Perhaps that’s why the offense came out in some funky sets with tight ends and fullbacks everywhere. Perhaps that’s why we saw so many balls hit the ground. The Pats simply need more quality wideouts, regardless of what happens to Branch.

Jackson is the key. If the second-round pick out of Florida can stretch defenses and make safeties respect his side of the field, that will provide opportunities for Branch and keep the middle available for the Pats’ talented group of tight ends. It’s hard to imagine free agent Reche Caldwell being that guy, so the pressure is on Jackson to be a playmaker right out of the chute. That’s a lot to ask of any rookie, but, unfortunately, that’s where the Patriots stand right now.

kinda sounds like our situation at gb eh?

Chad Jackson

I think the packers made a mistake by not taking Jackson. Don't get me wrong I love jennings, but I think they could have picked him up a little later. I do however think that the trde between the falcons and them was a good on.

[Bretsky]

Time will tell, but my draft day views would agree with you.

BTW, welcome to Packerrats.

Thanks man. I think jackson is just to good of an athlete not to pick.

Welcome to PR,

However, I feel the same argument could be made for Jennings! His production was just too good to pass up!!

In reality though, only time will tell. I say 5 years from now both will be solid #2 guys.

[PackerPro42]

Ya, but jennings wasn't in a division1 school.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jennings wasn't Division II - was he????

I thought he was MAC conference or something. OK, I'll look.

[Harlan Huckleby]

ya, Western Michigan, MAC conference. It ain't USC, but it's Division I.

I wouldn't sweat the school Jennings attended. He was a big time recruit who gave a verbal commitment to Michigan his Jr year of H.S. Then, as signing time approached his senior year the coaches from Michigan gave him the silent treatment and started backing out. He doesn't know why. Other schools that showed interest, including Michigan St and Wisconsin, by this time didn't have any room for the kid. So he stayed close to home and played at Western Michigan, where he tore it up.

My view on Jackson is he's overrated and his production doesn't match his mearsurables. But we'll see. I see Jennings as a much better fit for the WC offense b/c of his route running abililty and YAC.

Esoxx hit the nail on the head

Greg Jennings and Chad Jackson are both in for very solid careers, even great ones. It's not going to be Chambers vs Fergy. I really wanted Chambers, as many packers did, but I thought: "hey, that Texas A&M guy must be really good then (when the Pack did not pick Chambers)!?". We all know the truth about that one.
