Kareem Jackson Was Dead Last In The NFL Last Year In Yards Per Pass Allowed

PrintFootball Outsiders finally finished their charting data (sorry Aaron) and started pumping out some informative pieces this last week. One of them? A look at the worst cornerbacks in the league last year. Who was the worst on two of the three categories? Our friend Reemboi25, that's who.
Per FO's charting data, Kareem Jackson led all NFL cornerbacks by allowing 11.1 yards per pass, and he double dipped by also leading NFL cornerbacks in yards after catch. It's not a stunning revelation by any facet of the imagination if you watched a Texans game last season. Jackson was beaten deep early and often, and his safety help was non-existent. Of course, he was also beaten short, beaten on slants, and beaten pretty much every other way you can be. Which is why he was dead last amongst NFL cornerbacks in both stats. His success rate was 67th out of 83 though! So he's got that going for him.
In related news, if your team ever considers starting a rookie cornerback from day one, it's likely a sign that your front office is delirious.
But it's okay, Jackson was better than DeAngelo Hall. And Hall went to the Pro Bowl. Why would you complain about him? I don't know.

It was the perfect storm of suck
I wonder where he would rank if he had say Ed Reed playing behind him.
These hands will always be rough
Quite likely
but I imagine not dead last. The yards after the catch part in particular
These hands will always be rough
DFL
Wow.

"We've got to get Jackson in a better position to succeed"
-Wade Phillips
In my dreams, what he means by “better position” is “at the bottom of the depth chart where he must earn his way back up the ladder.”
But, of course what he really means is “he’s still the starter and we just have to coach him better.”

haha
ya, that’s a pretty good interpretation of his words. lol.
Unless you're the patriots
I bet mccourty would have sucked almost as bad with our past coaching staff. David fucking Gibbs?
Only way to go is up! Hopefully

Considering
That he gave his opponent a 10-yard cushion on average the fact that he only gave up 11.1 yards/catch is amazing.

was I dreaming
or did Bush start getting paid by Beelzebud?
Best. offseason. yet.
the tenth time is a charm
Fuck.
That’s just depressing.
However, I’m giving him one more season before I label him a bust. The transition at CB from the college to NFL level is the hardest to make.
Plus, he was taken at 20, not in the top 10, so he wasn’t supposed to be good right off the bat.
And please don’t come at me with the Devin McCourty bul shit. The Patriots had one of the best defensive coaching staffs last year, while we had the absolute worst.
"Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cuz you were too
close kissin his!"- Sir Charles to Kenny Smith.
As long as he shows improvement next year and a lot of it.
But I would really think we need to give him a year after that to fully label him a bust. He gets an extra year to undo the complete pile of shit that was the Frank Bush experience.

That was my point
Put kareem on the patriots and mccourty on the texans, and I bet they mirror the team they play for more than themselves, meaning they would both be better on the pats, and both significantly worse on the texans.
I’m thinking that will change at least somewhat with new coaching

ya i hear ya.
Kareem’s got a long ways to improve. But to be fair, he did improve alot as the year went by. The first 3 games really skews this statistic. Peyton and McNabb went for damn near record days on Kareem both days, lol, and Roy Williams tearing apart McCain and Jackson didn’t help much either. But, he did get ‘better’, let’s just hope he makes that quantum leap from year #1 to year #2.
The only way Kareem improved last year...
Was by virtue of giving the coaches so little faith in him that his playing time dwindled. Other than that, he sucked from day one up until the last snap he played.

lol
ya, i guess. But, that’s how he should’ve been used regardless, right? He was a rookie corner, and most people will agree that the toughest transition to make is at the CB and the QB position, so why they believed that Kareem could step in alongside a 2nd year Glover and produce like a star in a division w/ Peyton Manning is beyond me. I’m just hoping Kareem makes a drastic improvement.
"why they believed......."
Because he was supposedly coached up to be “NFL ready” by Nick Saban, who was a great NFL coach. Oh wait, nevermind.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
There is fault on both sides, no doubt.
It was an awful decision by Rick Smith to not retain Dunta or Reeves, and an awful performance by Kareem pretty much every time he stepped on the field. I’m sure he worked hard all season long, but I don’t think bad circumstances excuse him. He was a bad football player last year, plain and simple. In fact… These statistics indicate that he was probably the worst every-down starter in the league at his position. I won’t roast him for it in the future, but I think we need to stop making excuses for him. And when people say that he would have been a good player on the Patriots? That, to me, seems like a massive jump.
yep,
that’s a fair statement to make. He was bad pretty much every week, and to say, “oh, but there were bright spots.” is dumb, b/c well, you can say that about ANY player at any given time in a full season. With Kareem, he’s gotta get better, hopefully, Wade’s scheme has something to do w/ that as well as maybe bringing in a new veteran starter alongside Kareem. It’s just….his name is so cool, I don’t blame the Texans for thinking he’d be a stud real quickly.
I think Kareem, at this point, was basically a wasted pick.
I want to think otherwise… I want to think he’ll improve to at least be a good secondoption or respond to better coaching, but I just don’t have any confidence in him. I think Rick Smith tried to get “cute” with who he drafted and it backfired.
I hope Wade Phillips finds a way to get our secondary in order.
I'll wait and see how he does in his second year
before calling him a wasted pick. Not all 1st round picks have a positive impact in their first year.
and the clouds opened up and God said "I Hate you Texans Fans."
Yeh, I'm not giving up
He was where the D coaches put him. And, that was not in a good place to defend passes. It was pitiful coaching. The results showed in all statistical categories, and not just with KJ.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Glad to see some in agreement
That Kareem was not totally at fault. He had no safety help at all, and the coaching staff was even worse. Almost every single defensive player from 2009 regressed in 2010. Maybe he was down there chasing chickens ala Rocky in prep for the next season?
Why bash a rookie?
It’s like pistol whipping a blind kid for not seeing your car. Most rookies do not have a good rookie year. Everyone bashes linemen and receivers and other positions if they do bad their rookie year, but look at QBs. I looked at Peyton Mannings, Matt Ryans, Sam Bradford, and Joe Flaccos rookie stats. All went almost dead even in TD-Int ratio And none had a qb rating above 85.0. That’s average for an NfL qb but every just thinks “oh it’s cause they are a rookie”.
Every position is difficult to transition to from college to pros. Give it two more years to consider him a bust or not.
Houston Texans:
1st Round: Brandon Harris (CB)
2nd Round: Stephen Paea (NT)
3rd Round: Quinton Carter (S)
4th Round: Shiloh Keo (S)
5th Round: Chris Carter (OLB)
6th Round: Alex Henery (P/K)
7th Round: Stephen Burton (WR)

Most rookies don't?
I disagree actually
Most rookies on the texans don’t, but with better coaching we will see

Which positions do you hear at rookie of the year awards?
Linebacker and Runningback(QB too but I personally think that’s cause writers love QBs)
I do agree that not all rookies have it hard their first year, and I probably over exaggerated my point.
I just ment to say that people need to lay off Kareem and rookies in general. Don’t judge them till around 2-3 years later.

Who said he was a bust?
Just because he wasn’t good last year doesn’t mean he’ll always be bad in the future.
But you also can’t bury your head in the sand about it: he was awful last year. And putting him in a position to start from day one was stupid.

"TITANIC FEARED LOST AT SEA"
Old news=Kareem Jackson sucked.
“it’s likely a sign that your front office is delirious.”
Like the time when the Texans cut Aaron Glenn and thought they got the better end in the trade with Oakland for Buchanon.
Youth in the secondary is always a good idea
Or at least a coaching staff that would review tape/history and figure out why they got the opportunity to get their jobs in the first place instead of just repeating the same mistakes that helped get their predecessors fired.
The world revolves around me! Especially when I'm flat out on the barroom floor.
In other news, another WR that could have burned Kareem deep died today
According to the text I got from Sports Radio 610
Former Houston Oiler WR Drew Hill passes away at the age of 54. He played 7 years with the Oilers, making the Pro Bowl twice.

Man..
why does Longhorns basketball suck so much? ugh…with the way Garrett Gilbert played, I was praying my Horns could pull it out on the hardwood. :/ A&M is going to have a top 5 draft pick in the NFL draft…longhorns probably won’t even have a 1st rounder :(
typical longhorn
thinking you can just randomly throw a comment like this anywhere and people will care.
Yet another reason…
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
