“I understood my role in the defense,” Jackson said. “They had guys on the team who could affect the quarterback better than I could at particular times on third down. I know for sure I was a first-and-second-down-type of guy who could go out there and stop the run. I’m trying to embrace whatever the coaches throw my way right now to help our defense get some three-and-outs and some stops to get our offense the ball.

“The sacks are nice, but I’d trade those to get a win.”

Obviously, you don't understand your role. Your role is to play run first and be able to diagnose pass quickly enough as a #3 overall pick to provide an adequate pass rush. You can't do that. So, you finally got a game in which you were enabled to play a majority of sub snaps in the 3-tech and were productive (kinda). THe production you supplied however, isn't indicative of a #3 overall draft choice. ****, the rookie Wolfe from the Donks is a better pass rusher from the 3 tech than you. You should be producing above JJ Watt and you've finally after 3 years had a remotely successful game?


****, I hate the 2-gap. I hate having incompetent players on our DL for it. I hate wasting a #3 overall on a 1-down player, who might play 3 downs occasionally but only produces against the run in base fronts.
