Through 3 games this year, Jackson has carried the ball 60 times for 288 yards (4.8 ypc).
Through 3 games last year, Jackson carried the ball 50 times for 159 yards (3.2 ypc).
Why the change?
The opponents are comparable in terms of run defense (2008: Eagles, Giants, Seahawks/2009: Seahawks, Redskins, Packers). Both seasons started with 2 road games and 1 home game.
The passing threat was arguably greater in 2008, as the Rams still had Torry Holt.
So... why the difference?
