It kind of boggles the mind how the Jackson injury basically changed our offense. You don't see this with other teams.

Look at Dallas against the Giants. Dez Bryant was out for most of the game, the guy who is their deep threat and world-beater WR, but you didn't see their pass offense go into a shell and suddenly decide they were just going to dink and dunk their way around. Nope, they called the next guy up and continued to press down the field with downfield passing.

No one is going to replace Jackson at this point, but you can't concede the vertical passing game and give up an entire aspect of the offense, you have to get the next fastest guy on the roster and have him run those routes.
