Particularly for the back-up free safety, the Skins want a guy who plays at a higher speed and attacks the ball.
"We give our safeties here a lot more freedom. In Oakland it's more restricted and confined," Jackson said. "Our system is -- you've got the green light to go make plays. His was, 'I have to back-peddle like this, I have to move like this I have to stay right here.'"

One wonders why he was ever brought here in the first place if the systems are so different.
