The Patriots have reunited with corner J.C. Jackson. But even if he plays well, they need a lot more talent to compete, including a WR1.
in Week 4, an early-season loss unlike what we've seen since New England had its"On to Cincinnati" game. But without Tom Brady, it's hard to imagine the Patriots recovering like they did in 2015. In that loss to the Cowboys, the Patriots saw two of their best defensive players, edgeGonzalez was the team's bona fide CB1 and a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, but with a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder, he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Essentially, those numbers might currently be on the books, but there's no guarantee. So the team can come to the end of the year and essentially renegotiate a new deal with Jackson, depending upon how they feel he played. And it's not like there will be many other interested teams, given how poor his play was for L.A.
For Patriots fans who remember Jackson as a shutdown corner, it's important to bring context to just how poorly he has played in L.A. Let's look, for example, at his PFF grade for the past three years.It's wild to think that Jackson went from being one of the league's best corners to, essentially, the league's worst. But that's exactly what happened. And while he was playing better this year, the Chargers barely let him on the field.
New England, however, will need a lot more than Jackson if it wants to hold off a total nosedive in 2023. Jackson barely begins to replace Gonzalez. And then there's the issue of Judon's injury, which will force veteraninto bigger roles. And if that all goes seamlessly, that would just plug the personnel leaks on a 1-3 team. New England will need to substantially improve on offense if it is going to compete this year.
