Chad Jackson tackling on ST?

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I saw Chad out there on special teams making a tackle on a punt,Has he been on the defensive ST this year before sunday?
Or were we so short on players with no illness or tiredness that we had to put him in?.
I don't recall seeing him out there playing ST before,Did I miss something?

I think he plays gunner sometime due to size and speed.why do i have a feeling he is going to come stronger.

He has been a gunner most of the year.

The returner broke a tackle and spun right into Jackson.

Comparing rookie seasons...

.......Year, Team, Games, Catches, Yrds, Avg, Long, TD's
Glenn --- 1996 NWE 15 90 1132 12.6 37 6
Jackson- 2006 NWE 12 13 152 11.7 35 3

Glenn was a bad apple but he at least produced on the field.

How was he a bad apple?

She didn't show up to training camp for one...

jackson played because kelvin kight was inactiuve and jackson moved up on the depth chart. i believe kight typically plays gunner.

No, Kight usually doesn't. Jackson has most of the season.

It's mainly Hobbs and Andrews and Spann.
