Chad Jackson, WR, New England Patriots: He has had two injury-plagued seasons that have limited him to 13 catches. That should change now that he's healthy. With Donte' Stallworth gone to the Cleveland Browns, the Patriots need a third receiver to step up. Jackson has the size and speed. Now that he's a year-and-half removed from a torn ACL, this is his time.
He played in only 12 games as a rookie, and IIRC, a lot of the time he was in to block on running plays. In a few of those games, I thought I remember seeing him get separation but fail to pull in the pass. There was some frustration around him, but I didn't think it was his speed.I honestly feel CJ has track speed and not game speed. When you figured he'd pull away on routes with his speed the cb stayed with him stride for stride.
I'd be happy with 30 catches from him.

1) While he only started 9 games.....he saw plenty of action before he started. However, if you take away his 17 tackle Buffalo game and his 24 tackle redskin game (both jet losses) his stats are very ordinary, actually. I am not trashing Harris by any means, wish we had him.
2) Playing Hobson as an OLB seems to me to be out of position- yet he still started 14 games. However, was probably the best thing that ever happened to Victor as it paved the way for him to come here.
Good players (his 2006 numbers look prety good to me) tend to play very well when they play on very good teams.......Hobson will fit right in playing a position better suited for his skills,in the middle where his smarts and technique (rarely gets beat one on one) will enable him to do very well here.
This will be a great addition for NE and because of that it will reflect negatively on Mannotsogenius.
Please God tell me you are kidding. Hobson is addition by subtraction, and don't for one second think I'm saying that because he went to the Pats, where in fairness he could be a pretty decent rotation guy. He was a God awful starter though.
