Kareem Jackson's plight.

[281]

i'll give jackson a little more credit if he plays like this against quality nfl receivers... something the browns and bucs don't seem to have.

Those were the days.......

he is improving but you did see that TD he broke up right, he never saw the ball he jumped to early and then had to double jump to break up the ball, he never looked for the ball.

The Browns receivers suck, but Tampa has 2 really good young receivers. Benn and Williams both are 2 guys the Texans would love to have.

i think we're starting to see the player that we drafted in the first round. yall forget that he's only in his second year and spent the first being taught way wrong obviously. now even despite no offseason (reminder only a sophomore), he's got some talent and coaching around him and is growing by leaps and bounds each week. it's debatable whether kareem's ever going to become a "shutdown" type player, but it's still very early and at this rate he's becoming a solid starting cornerback. i'd put him well ahead of allen with the gap growing each week.

I saw it,

But there were other plays that he did look back.

Cant wait to see what he does against the Falcons/Panthers. That should be a more true test of his progress.

I was just giving him a little credit for todays great game.

I did think the pass he broke up in the end zone was a PI that went uncalled. Lots of contact and he never turned around to see the ball .... But I'll take it and not complain one bit.

I hear you, I hear you. Those were the days. Additional of Wade, new DB coach and, J Jo our #1 CB got a lot to do with KJ's improvement. Keep up the good work KJ!

Can you guys say PLAYOFF!? Say what? PPPPLLLLLLAAAAYYYYYOOOFFFFFFFF!!!!!

Go Texans!!!

[El Tejano]

I've given him a hard time. He's earned the props the past two weeks. I'm hoping he keeps it up with 6 more games left.

He didnt turn his head on the play he broke up in the end zone ..... which I thought should have been PI .... but I wont complain that the ref didnt make the call.

C'mon man, give him some props. You would be all over him (just like the rest of us) if he was giving up big plays to second tier players. This is a step in the right direction.

Go Texans!

His head was not turned but his head was back looking at the ball. That was not an PI.

Overall, I'd say Jackson has had a less than spectacular but solid season. He has had some rough moments, but he looks much better than last year. That's a good thing.

I can't even get my mouth to complain or nit pick about anything he's done, I'm judt happy with the improvement.

One thing many people mention in Allen's favor is his ball skills. He has a knack for getting the ball.

Kareem doesn't & never has. He was a 4 year starter at Alabama & had one career INT. He was a shutdown corner at Alabama & looks like he'll be that cover guy for us.

Kareem left 'Bama after his junior year for the NFL Draft.

KJ keeps giving me hope every week that he isn't a bust. He's starting to become a good CB, a little more time and he should live up to his rookie year hype.

i'm ok with that though, i'd rather force 3 and outs than give up a ton of yards in return for a handful of turnovers. the oakland game stands out in that regard. sure allen had an interception but he got abused all game and was the weakest link in a loss.

It's amazing what good coaching, the right scheme, and a pass rush will do to a fella.
