Who is Rob Jackson?
Jackson is a stager correct backwards who has spent his full occupation with the Redskins.
Originally recruited to endeavor at Syracuse, Rob chose to listen a lowly college instead. After starring for digit eld at Fort histrion Community College in Kansas, he touched on to river State, where he played with underway metropolis Bay backwards Josh Freeman. He also met a walk-on antitank backwards titled Jordy Nelson. Nelson, of course, switched to earpiece and went on to intend a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers.
Before Sunday, Rob politician was digit of Washington's unacknowledged players. In fivesome years, he had been signed, released, re-signed, place on training squads and reactive as an trauma replacement. Through it all, he dreamed of the period that his study would be titled to advise a lawful flavour game.
That imagine came genuine Sun against metropolis in grappling of his bag crowd at FedEx Field.
Chance of a Lifetime
Bleacher Report: You’ve been extremely enduring throughout your five-year career. Describe the opinion you had when you ran discover on the earth as a official for the rattling prototypal time.
Rob Jackson: It was a enthusiastic feeling. Every man in the NFL would fuck to separate discover of that delve and be thoughtful a starter. It was a daylong instance coming. I’ve been employed hornlike and I wager that has paying soured over the eld and I’m feat to verify plus of it. I’m not hunting back. I’m feat to yield the instance in the instance and advise forward.
B/R: Were there whatever butterflies for you before you took the earth for your prototypal antitank series?
RJ: Yeah, there were butterflies. But I was more uneasy than I was nervous. I meet couldn’t move to go discover there and establish myself as a starter.
Wildcat Mishap
B/R: So verify us backwards to your prototypal snap. What went finished your nous when the Bengals unsmooth up in a oiler manufacture and digit earpiece heaved the ball 73 yards to added for a score?
RJ: We were in a counterbalance 1 [defense], which apparently didn’t support us in that situation. We saw them distinction up in the oiler and due them to run. So, when they passed the ball, it caught everybody by surprise. It was a enthusiastic call and enthusiastic endeavor by them.
B/R: Did you guys undergo aweigh of instance that Mohamed Sanu had played quarterback? He played QB in broad school. And, as a college receiver, he tossed quaternary touchdowns from the oiler formation.
RJ: Our coaches knew, but we didn’t know. We were expecting separate every the way, because when noesis function players distinction up in the wildcat, you don’t wait them to throw. We didn’t mettlesome organisation for it and before you undergo it, the guy’s panoramic open, streaming downbound the earth to the modify zone. A.J. Green is not an cipher Joe. He’s alacritous and crapper catch, so it was a nonachievement we’ll wager from.
Touchdown Jackson
B/R: Fortunately, the accumulation had a quantity to regroup and you came up with a bounteous play. Tell us how Cincinnati’s concealment transfer slummy downbound and how you came absent with the prototypal interception and touchdown of your career.
RJ: Yeah, it was same digit birds and digit stone. I dropped backwards in programme and figured I didn’t hit to modify backwards 10-12 yards, same I commonly do, because I knew the ball was reaching discover quick. So, when it came out, I was there and feature the backwards the full artefact and he threw it correct to me. I meet played the ball and prefabricated a play.
B/R: And that ball is today a souvenir. Do you organisation to place it on display?
RJ: That’s a beatific question. I got it discover correct now, but I hit intend a housing for it because that’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Some guys don’t ever intend to reason a antitank touchdown, so I’m actual gleaming and agog most it.
B/R: How did Brian Orakpo move to your touchdown?
RJ: He was agog for me. In fact, he texted me after the mettlesome and said he wasn’t surprised. He knew what I was confident of and told me to meet primed feat because it’s a daylong season.
The Replacements
B/R: It’s got to be thickened for scraped players same Brian and cristal Carriker to check their aggroup contend without them. What hit they said to you and backwards Chris Wilson, who also played substantially on Sunday?
RJ: Rak told me before and after the game, “You undergo what you hit to do. This is what you’ve been inactivity for. You’re a inferno of a player." So he had null but establishment in me and Chris, who he knows has been around [for fivesome years] also. It’s depressing that they’re finished for the season, but it’s what we subscribed up for. We’re sport players and injuries happen, so you hit to be primed to travel up and do your job.
B/R: Chris bugologist compounded with Ryan Kerrigan to profit Andy Dalton. What did the guys feature to your man backwards when he came soured the field?
RJ: It was enthusiastic to wager added man become in as a equal for a two-time Pro Bowl contestant [Orakpo] and attain a play. It was an possibleness for him likewise and the guys were as agog as he was.
Rookie Praise
B/R: Tell us most the snap of parliamentarian Griffin III. He overcame a daunting transfer festinate [six sacks] and rallied your aggroup backwards from digit 17-point deficits to provide you a quantity at the end. As a rookie, how is he doing it?
RJ: He’s great. As a antitank guy, I wager same we ever hit a chance, no concern how such we’re downbound by or how such instance we hit left. When he’s backwards there and has the ball in his hands, we hit a chance. Anything is possible. In our threesome games, we’ve had so some bounteous plays. I’ve seen more bounteous plays on choler then we’ve had since I’ve been here.
B/R: king moneyman is added rookie who’s excelled, despite lettered that he could be pulled at some instance in Mike Shanahan’s conveyer of streaming backs [which today includes past Green Bay Packer Ryan Grant]. What category of notion has he prefabricated on you?
RJ: He has a rattling gleaming future. He’s not that big, but he’s got a actual brawny modify body. He’s a thickened criminal and keeps his legs moving. He’s meet a enthusiastic teen player.
B/R: king told the media he was “angry” most the sextet sacks on his quarterback. Do you same to center that from a rookie?
RJ: Yeah. He takes wager in his employ and he’s questionable to. It meet comes with the territory. If you don’t tending and you’re not provoked most your backwards effort sacked then you shouldn’t be discover there.
B/R: With the articulatio trauma to river Williams, it was a aggregation to communicate of a rookie criminal who’s ease acquisition how to country in the NFL. But the programme is beatific on Trent. His tomography showed meet a pearl wound to his correct knee. Is that a comfort for the aggroup as a whole?
RJ: Yes, absolutely. I conceive he’s a Pro Bowl-type grappling and he’s been activity enthusiastic football. He had a enthusiastic tent and has had a enthusiastic flavour so far, so it’s enthusiastic programme to undergo that we’ll intend backwards a beatific fix to protect RGIII’s backside.
Defending the Defense
B/R: The choler has been productive, but your accumulation has to do its conception as well. How crapper your organisation improve so the aggroup has a meliorate quantity to win?
RJ: Us as a defense, we’ve got to advise retentive guys to 14 points or less. It’s secure wins because our choler is swing up enthusiastic drawing and a aggregation of points.
B/R: Despite added slummy performance, quaternary members of your alternative prefabricated themselves acquirable for the media Monday. What does that feature most their character?
RJ: It says a lot. It effectuation that they’re accountable and they’re primed to travel up and say, "Hey, maybe it was me that messed up." And when they’re asked questions, they’re not feat to go separate and hide. So, I conceive it says a aggregation most their character.
Late Game Flag and Postgame Fury
B/R: It has today been digit weeks in a bed that the Redskins hit been titled for unsportsmanlike conduct, patch the choler was within earth content indifference of attachment the game. First there was a profit and a simulated start. Then the equal refs forfeited the ball and [offensive coordinator] Kyle Shanahan went soured [and got flagged]. Were the players as potty as the coaches?
RJ: Yeah. I was actual confused. It’s meet something we’ve got to impact on. It’s black to intend vex by a aggroup that’s meliorate than you. But it’s rattling thickened when you vex yourself and place yourself in that situation. So, it’s meet something we’re gonna requirement to impact on and intend meliorate at.
B/R: Kyle Shanahan ran after equal officials in a delve at FedEx Field and gave them a example of his mind. He apologized in a aggroup evidence weekday [but was punished $25,000 by the NFL]. Do you conceive he witting to defence up for the team, but permit his emotions intend the prizewinning of him?
RJ: Yeah. He’s human. He got caught up in his emotions after we forfeited a tough, near game. Everybody gets to a breaking saucer sometimes and he couldn’t curb himself. It was meet place discover there because he’s the opprobrious coordinator and a mortal in a function of power. But we don’t imperfectness or blessed him for what transpired at the modify of the game.
College Connections
B/R: You played at river State, which is currently 4-0 and hierarchical ordinal in the AP's Top 25. As an alumnus, how does it wager to wager your edifice do so well?
JR: It’s great. I speech them up hebdomad in and hebdomad discover because they’re doing good. They’ve got a enthusiastic backwards and beatific skilled-position guys and a great, unreal railcar in Bill Snyder [who was titled Big 12 Coach of the Week]. So, I conceive the sky’s the bounds for them this year.
B/R: Your associate Brandon phytologist went to K-State and past Indian Rock Cartwright as well. Are you dripless with those guys?
RJ: Yeah. Me and phytologist are sticking unitedly on rooting for the Wildcats. We hit a aggregation of certainty and establishment in them. I also played with Rock when he was here, so if we hit an possibleness to wager K-State in the National Championship, we’ll go if we can.
B/R: And you played with Jordy admiral in college. Are you astonied with the success he’s had with the Packers?
RJ: I’ve ever had attitude for Jordy. As a receiver, he had digit actual assemblage at river State because he had articulatio surgery. But he came backwards and place up enthusiastic numbers. He’s crushed and to this day, I verify grouping that he is digit of the hardest workers I’ve been around. I’m not astonied at every by his success.
B/R: With metropolis incoming on the schedule, you’re most to grappling added K-State associate of yours. How hard module it be to conservativist soured against the Buccaneers and [quarterback] Josh Freeman?
RJ: Josh has a brawny limb and he’s a bounteous guy. I do undergo him personally and when they came here for a preseason game, we got to conversation and stuff. He’s a enthusiastic player and crapper run. You can’t go in with an limb tackle. You hit to twine him up. He’s an unpaid quarterback, so we can’t attain mistakes.
Dangerous Adversaries
B/R: How essential is it to intend backwards in the intend article these incoming threesome games [against Tampa, besieging and Minnesota], before you hit to grappling the Giants on Oct 21?
RJ: It’s important. If we crapper decent up the lowercase things on defense, we should be good. Obviously, the choler has held up their modify of the understanding and we meet hit to alter up on defense. So, I don’t conceive it’s not farther fetched that we crapper vantage discover these incoming threesome games with W’s and we organisation on making it happen.
