Re: Why is Jackson in on short and goal???
While I'm somewhat hesitant to get too excited over Faulk having a good game against Arizona, I think he showed good speed and cutting ability. He performed well against a team that he SHOULD perform well against.

That being said, if he's truly healthy again (finally) then there's no good reason to take him out in goal line situations. I'll leave out the expletives but taking Marshall out near the goal line is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Behind Priest Holmes, no one in the league can cross the goal line better than Faulk.

If protecting him is the main concern then run Jackson between the 20's more, but dear God, don't take Marshall out when it's time to score! I like Wilkins but I'm sick of watching him kick field goals and the Rams struggle to score points.
