Having just re-watched the ARK game today, I was struck by the number


of routes, particularly from the slot, that required a quick move by the receiver to get oh-so-slight separation followed by a quick, accurate pass. RBs out of the backfield? Same. Quick cut, needing a ball on the numbers and then big YAC.
Accuracy, not arm strength was key. And a premium on quickness in the slot was also apparent - and recent recruiting targeting has done nothing to make one think last year's offensive attack was simply the Fuente famed "playing to current roster strengths". We are now loaded at slot guys, from where I sit. In fact, hitting jitterbugs in the slot is looking like attack mode number one to me. With all of these jitterbugs now swarming the roster, the actual "hitting" is all that is left in the equation.
So...by all accounts (and yeah, I know there really aren't many accounts these days) Jackson, with his accuracy, is your boy game one.
