Reiss listed McCourty as one of the three negative players from the Dolphin game as well, after week one.

He did not have a bad game. Wouldn't call it a good one. Jackson looked like Jerry Rice tonight. He had him covered pretty good on some of those plays. He isn't struggling. Nobody could have prevented Vincent Jackson from making those catches.

I think McCourty jinxed himself being so good his rookie year. Now everyone thinks the guy can't make mistakes and this is ONLY his second year lol.

Aside from that, week 1 he defended Brandon Marshall and week 2 he had to deal with V. Jax. These are really tough match ups for any corner and he has a lot on his shoulders.

I'm going to cut him a little bit of slack too, at least at this point. Obviously there were plays where you can say that he could have done "X" better and there are some plays where Jackson made legit, superstar plays. Same thing with B-Marshall in week one. But it also isn't like he is the only one getting burned by the other team's QBs.

There will be more criticism of him from the media I'm sure, so it'll be interesting to see how the young Captain responds to it, both vocally and on the field.

He's getting beat by superior athletes. What are you going to do. In practice, he matches up vs our quick little guys. In 2010, he had a preseason of covering Moss plus a few games before the trade. Not now....smurf city.

he has had some tough matchups thru 2 weeks. that being said, if he is a top 3 or 4 DB in the AFC like his pro bowl would suggest, then covering a few top 10 receivers effectively isn't outrageous to ask.

Covering guys that are 5 inches taller than you is one thing. Trying to jam those same guys who are also 30 pounds heavier is another. Trying to do that without decent safety help is hopeless, and we've seen that.
