snow said:I don't have time to discuss every play at the moment because of finals next week, but Kareem wasn't covering Jackson either on that first play. DeSean was lined up in the slot, on the left side, and his route took him toward the right side of the field. I don't know what Kareem's assignment was because they didn't really show that part of the field in the replay, but it looked like there was a receiver running a route besides Celek. If he wasn't covering anybody it was because he was on the wrong side of the field, not because he was lined up across from Jackson and allowed him to run by. Pollard was lined up across from Jackson, as Jackson worked across the field, he released the guy to the deep safety, who wouldve alllowed Jackson to make the td if he wasn't lined up so deep. And yes Pollard is a slug.
Then why was snail Pollard repeteadly lined up against fast Jackson? To allow Convick to have his great game? Why didnt they put a Kareem Jackson( a CB so supposedly he has speed to keep up with fast WRs) on Jackson ? This proves Bigunreal's point, that games are indeed fixed.
And it proves another point, that some defensive coordinators are helping Convick have great games.
