What the heck happened to J.C. Jackson? Chargers | BoltUp
found Dulcich streaking down the right sideline and into the end zone. Dulcich appeared to be virtually uncovered.47-yard reception by confirming that Jackson didn’t have safety help on the play. Hamler got behind Jackson with ease and created several yards of separation between the two. Jackson was at the center of Denver’s two most explosive passing plays before being mercifully benched. Jackson was also called for defensive pass interference on a 3rd-and-long.
Jackson looks like a shell of the formerly dominant cornerback that excelled in both man and zone coverage in New England. Jackson was signed by the Chargers to take away opposing teams’ No. 1 receivers, particularly in a high-flying, pass-happy AFC West. Not only is Jackson falling well short of those expectations, but he’s also struggling against rookie tight ends and fourth-string slot receivers. The early-season fall from grace has been astounding.
Jackson’s ball skills have been non-existent. A defender that enjoyed a league-leading 23 passes defended last season while also securing 17 interceptions over the last two years appears to be a shell of his former self. The immediate payoff hasn’t arrived for the Chargers. The Chargers have little choice but to allow Jackson to work through his current struggles. The hefty price tag attached to his name indicates Jackson won’t spend much time on the sidelines despite Thursday’s benching. It’s worth noting Jackson missed Los Angeles’ regular-season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders after undergoing ankle surgery in late August. The injury and surgery wereas a minor scope at the time.
The Chargers entered the campaign with legitimate postseason aspirations. Their current record indicates they may be playoff bound, but the performances on both sides of the ball have left plenty to be desired. Telesco enjoyed an aggressive free agency period in an attempt to catapult the Chargers to Super Bowl contention. Jackson was supposed to be the prized possession of their free agent class, both in reputation and dollar value. It’s been a giant mistake so far.
