Pettine also not happy with the off coverage

Good catch. So is it Gray (doubtful) or King. Based on Pettine's comment and nothing but my own speculation, King plays off to keep himself from getting burned. So it's Gray's job to fix, right?

That is a rock-solid question. When King was out, Jackson was doing the same damned thing on the same side of the field. Could it be a coaching decision on the QB's left side?

Well, I've heard from the interwebs that Gray is a rock-solid DB coach. And since everything online is beyond repute, it can't be him, can it? BUT, to your point, Jackson did it...and did every other corner except Alexander--who technically still does it but has the wherewithal and smarts to make it not matter at all because of his closing instincts.

While I agree, all internet information is fact beyond dispute, Jaire seems to play off situationally. I just wonder if it's coaching or guys that don't trust their own deep speed.

King, Jackson, and pretty much anybody else this side of Jaire play off to prevent big plays. Jaire doesn't do that because he simply has more God-given ability. Ideally, we draft another one like Jaire, but the good lord didn't make very many of those, and they usually get drafted before we draft (and often they turn out not to be as good as they looked in college).

King and Jackson played the same off coverage jaire does all of the time. Jaire is better at it. The details of breaking sooner to prevent they short stuff is more natural for jaire.

The Packers are better as King gets better at said looks. And now they're cleaning up how often king does it. It's no longer growth time. It's win or go home time. All the coaches are hinting to it.
