Jackson was routinely getting blown off the LoS...sometimes by several yards. Jackson got the bust label because...well....he looked like a ****ing bust, scheme had nothing to do with his shitty play.
And Poe was "attacking" in college? The ****?

How much of Poe did you see in college?
He was constantly told to go get the passer. That was his job. He wasn't seen in college as a 3-4 nose. He was seen as a 4-3 1 technique.
He was compared to Warren Sapp for christs sake.
His ability as a nose tackle is just because he is special. He is Vince Wilfork when used correctly.
Tyson Jackson was never asked to be a run stuffer in college. He also didn't play the 5 technique in a 3-4 in college. He was much like Dorsey, a dt in the 4-3 where his job was to rush the passer.
He is playing more to that now. Not just looking to stop the run.
No matter how you look at it, he was overdrafted. Im not arguing that.
But, drafting a guy that high, and asking him to do something he was never asked to do, is asking for trouble.
period.
