Blocking broke down, so I don't blame Jackson on that one even though it looked like he might could have cut it up.

However, he comes back with a well-developed screen and scores, dodging inside one defender. To make it clear, Houston blitzed and got burned. Dallas essentially didn't even have to block, but Jackson did a good job of not going to the outside where there would have been some traffic to negotiate. That allowed him to face one defender who he made miss easily without having to make much of a move.

So if that was McFadden on those 2 plays, what would have been the take....just curious....lol....

That drive was far more impressive than anything Dak Prescott has ever done.

I would start Showers. Probably keep Johnson and cut Prescott.
agreed and call Tebow to back him up before he starts playing baseball.

McFadden would have done the same things except faster.

My take has nothing to do with him. I'm trying to give an honest assessment of what I'm seeing. Jackson hasn't played poorly so far. I'm just hoping to see him do something that makes say, "We've got to keep that guy on the roster!"

Now, we're running Rod Smith for 4 yards.

are they playing scrubs too? Not sure you can take much from anything that happens. Showers has looked good to ma all along.

Jokes aside Tebow would probably play better than some of these journeymen losers that will be floating around the league in a few days.

I like the cut by Rod Smith to get 3 yards. He saw that the outside was going to be clogged so he cut it up inside. I want to see that from Jackson and I haven't seen it much yet.
