Marlin Jackson to IR [merged] - New England Patriots Forums

tombonneau · 10-30-2008, 12:01 PM

Just read that he torn an ACL in practice yesterday. Sucks for them as he is a promising young player who started seven games for them.

Anyone know who the replacement will be?

Also, was Marlin going to be on Moss? Not sure how the Colts assign their CBs.

Our Colts week guest workhorse had already alerted us to this in his ongoing thread... He will also likely fill us in on the ramifications...

BTW he's a first round pick who has played in all but 2 games since he was drafted in 2005...I believe he's their #1 CB.

Thanks figured it might have been mentioned in there (not monitoring the thread) but it's pretty big news I thought deserving its own post regardless. Would be very interested to hear his thoughts.

(Workhorse is one of the better visiting posters on this board.)

How big of news is it? I hadn't heard of him until this week, personally, but I don't watch teams outside the division too closely. How's their depth at the position?

If Hayden and Sanders don't play Sunday night, 3/4 of their starting secondary will be out for that game.

Pretty big deal- Jackson is a good starting CB.

He's a very solid CB in my opinion. A bit bigger than any of ours at 6' 1" I believe. He would be the pats # 1 if he was on this team. That really hurts their pass defense IMO.

In good news, our #1 is back in practice!

BB liked him coming out of college but then the Colts swooped in and picked him up.

That is one of the many aspects of III that Bill loves. Talent is only as valuable as it's ability to get on and stay on the field. And play well hurt because injuries are one thing but every player in the NFL is on some level "hurt" past week 1..
