[QUOTE="Techster, post: 838431, member: 360"] Yes, Quez Jackson is MUCH more consistent than the players you've named. Charlie Thomas has had some MONSTER games...games where if he had that consistency in every game he'd be a high round draft pick. Unfortunately, there have be some games, and stretches within games where you don't even notice he's on the field. You seem to be applying two different sets of standards for Thomas and Jackson. If Quez Jackson is playing 613 snaps, and if Thomas is "more consistent" as you seem to claim, why isn't he putting up similar numbers to Jackson? The fact is, there are certain circumstances the staff doesn't have Thomas on the field, and there are stretches where Thomas just doesn't produce. BTW...those aren't just 11 "stops"...those are 11 tackles for losses or no gain. There's a difference. Jared Ivy, IMO, is probably the player with one of the highest ceilings not only on our defense, but maybe our entire team. His physical attributes and abilities will payoff BIG TIME in the coming years. Right now, he gets knocked off the ball more than you'd like, but that's because he's not physically mature to play such a physically demanding position. He's going against guys that are 6'5-6'7+ and 320+ lbs that can move. Once he gets stronger, he's going to be an absolute killer for us. Right now, it's a baptism by fire for him. Djimon Brooks probably has one of the best motors on our team, and he plays with a nastiness I wish all of our guys had. Unfortunately, when you watch his snaps, he does tend to get outmuscled on the interior because he's undersized. You have to give him credit though, he was instrumental on those 4th down stops against Miami. Listen, I respect PFF, and I often refer to them in this forum. But they are not the end all. The fact is, Jackson is one of the most productive LBs in the country. Production may not fit your narrative, but when you put players on the field, they either produce or they don't. Jackson produces. [/QUOTE]
