Jackson starts...Spiller mixed in much much more frequently -

Evenly on 1st and 2nd downs - FJ in obvious passing situations.Comment

Re: So? Is Spiller or Jackson the feature back.....
Jackson suffers when his carries are split. The guy has earned the right to play. I am all for Spiller, and if you watch his college highlights (like we all haven't seen them 100x) he is probably one of the better receivers on this team.
A two back approach isn't going to hurt us if the blocking is set up right, because as much as I like Spiller, he isn't a very good blocker yet.
I have to laugh, there is a woman a few rows behind us that blames all of the franchise's problems on Spiller. Last week he actually made a nice block and she is screaming that he sucks...as she does on every play, whether he is on the field or not...even if it is defense. Personally, I blame her husband.

until CJ learns how to block, he won't be the feature back. He's going to get a qb killed if he's allowed toOriginally posted by TopdogOriginally posted by mercyruleOriginally posted by mercyruleComment

Re: So? Is Spiller or Jackson the feature back.....
This is true. I did see some signs of progress in that area though - mind you, he was getting an awful lot of real time practise.Originally posted by Stewie
I saw him pick up the blitz quite nicely a couple of times, the trouble was, he had two guys to try and take out. He did get one of them.
I think he will get better at it. Once the technique is down, a lot is about experience, and seeing where the heat is coming from. that in itself is a thankless task with this O-Line atm. I saw him miss a block, that he should have made, because he thought the first guy through was going to blow by Green, which didn't actually happen, so he couldn't get to the guy who did come free. I think he learnt from that, and I thought it showed later in the game.Comment

Maybe that's the new plan ... If we kill all QB's we will have a good reason to go out on a stretch and try something newOriginally posted by StewieAfter Every Dark Night Comes a Brighter Day

I think its Spiller. But I wouldnt have him run the ball a single time in practice, he should spend all day working on blitz pickup. He knows how to run the ball.Originally posted by Ebenezer

I think initially, Jackson will ge the bulk, but as the season goes on, you would be a complete fool not to give the majority of touches to Spiller. Spiller needs 20 touches per game in any capacity. When he has open space, the guy is gold.

Jackson will probably be the feature back. Spiller has actually been on the field a lot on passing plays. He obviously needs to work on his route running skills because he just hasn't been open even though he's been targeted a bunch. His workload will increase as he'll be getting more carries out of the backfield.
*Tim Graham just tweeted Jackson has been named the starter.Comment

Either way, more Spiller for sure. I'd hope Chan would try to get him at least 10-15 touches a game now.Comment

Re: So? Is Spiller or Jackson the feature back.....
Jackson should be the 1st string back, and Spiller should get his touches in relief and other creative game planning.
Until the OL can block consistently neither wil give us much spark
