Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

I didn't catch the entire interview just some highlight clips that they played but he coached CJ from his sophomore year on at Hoover High (I believe I remember this correctly). He said CJ had a really hard time picking up their offense the first year, he actually used a phrase similar to "he just checked out" or "shut it down" I cannot remember the exact wording. He went on to say that he came back his Junior year and it was like somebody flipped a switch.

He then described CJ's college years the same way. Freshman year he was a huge disappointment then sophomore year bang.

Here's hoping history repeats itself.

Anybody catch the entire interview?

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

For some wide receivers in the NFL, the switch does not turn on until year three.

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

Hopefully he does something year two. I think he can if he can stay healthy

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

Well, I think the PAts need to sign or draft another wide receiver this year.

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

did he happen to explain at all why Chad Jackson sucks?

because that would be real interesting to learn about.

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

Man, do you just hate the Pats or something, or do you just like being the sarcastic class clown?

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

It sounds like part confidence part the ability to learn new things.

Tipp I agree it takes many receivers until year three. I'd take a 40 catch 600 year Sophomore season where teams at least have to account for him a little, some sort of progress.

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

His college career certainly followed that path.

People need to realize three important things:

1) He was injured and missed a lot of time including training camp
2) Rookie receivers rarely contribute
3) He came out early, so it wasn't a given he'd produce year 1

Re: Jackson's High School Coach on Felger
 

He roots against Pat players, probably a Jester fan.
