L. Jackson going pro?
- Thread starter Gary Wood
- Start date
Jan 14th was the deadline to enter the draft.
I think he knows this season is his last shot, time to get serious.
A 100% focused Lamar is a great thing to see. We need him to take a leap and Fisher is a guy who can help get him there.
Could be that the coaches are in his ear telling him he has the talent for the next level, he just needs to focus in, step up, and seize his opportunity.
Nah. Why would he transfer at this point? The starting job is his unless someone takes it from him. He has the talent and frame for the next level just needs to put in the work.
He retweeted this...
Plus some of his tweets tonight have the #GBR
I think he’s simply starting to understand he has 1 more season to make it happen and he’s getting down to business. I could be wrong but that’s how I’m reading it.
Whatever it is, we should spend 5 pages inventing weird theories about it. It needs AT LEAST as much attention at Q. Alexander's pizza rolls tweet got
Lamar playing at an all conference level would be nice.
He could have transferred last year when he was benched. I’m sure Oregon State would have loved him.
But he challenged himself, stepped up and raised the level of his play after that. Doesn’t seem like the type to quit now.

Transferring wouldn’t be his worst choice. Don’t get me wrong I want him to stay.
Transferring would buy him an extra year to improve before testing the NFL waters.

Or to get injured. Unless you are a QB. Transferring for that purpose is highly difficult.
Knowing a system is part of what makes players play at a high level, imo.
He put enough on film last year to the point that if he does the same and tests well at the combine somebody will draft him. I know he shied away from contact at times, but he was playing with an injured shoulder. Athletically he has the package but I think he would go late in the draft due to his inconsistency. For heaven's sake, Nate Gerry made a team.
LJ gettin serious. I like it
I don't see LJ as a guy that's going anywhere. I think he's ready to get to work and have a great season. I loved the way he responded to adversity last year and the player he is becoming, I think he has a big year for us in 2019.
He was much more physical last year than any previous years and that’s saying something.
Two straight years of real coaching under Fisher might be just as good. He improved quite a bit by the end of the year. I think Fisher is the perfect type of no ********, put up or shut up, coach LJ needs.

Agreed. His physicality has improved, but still needs to find that other NFL caliber level. His tackling is still sub-par.
His progress has seemed mostly steady. As mentioned before just having a second year in the same system will do wonders.
Bootle’s cover skills were impressive last year. If he and Jackson can both increase their physicality in run support, it will be an immense asset fulfilling 1/2 the equation at DB.
Cam Taylor will also be there pushing those two bringing his contagious energy every down.
Yeah I don't think it is regarding the draft. I think it is regarding this upcoming season. He knows if he wants to make the big bucks he has to go all out this year and really show his talent. So I think it is just his way of saying, he is focused and ready to rock this year.
It’s not likely that he would be handed a starting role, he would have to earn his position all over again. Here he has to hold his position.
Why are you guys starting transfer rumors? That's obviously not what's happening. Silly little gossip girls.
Why would he want to start with a fourth DB coach?? He will be in year two under Fish. That has to be worth staying put. Plus fish has proven he can put talent at the next level. Dumb thought to transfer
My guess is he is closing out the outside noise and wants to work his *** off to get ready for this next season. Much like Farmer did. Maybe it’s “clicking” for him.
Nate Gerry has a Super Bowl ring. He started two games this past year at LB, played in 13 games, and had 22 tackles and a pick. Was also a special teams beast. #FEF #GBR
I’d love to see LJ out on shutdown island. Take away that third of the field and make everyone else’s job easier. Drop a safety into the box and play cover 1 to the other side.
