There's a reason you see more linemen playing into their mid- to late 30s than you do receivers or backs. Technique and experience can mean a whole lot.

We'll see on Jackson. Like I said, if he doesn't perform, I think the newly 280-pound Gilberry takes his job. I think there's a decent chance Jackson's fine, though, as a 3rd year player who may finally have a sense of urgency about his job in the league. We'll see. Admittedly, I've always been somebody willing to wait on a player to develop. I think fans have a tendency to make their minds up on players (positively or negatively) too quickly.
