I didn’t notice it until I saw the replay. On the Green Bay Packers’ game-winning touchdown, Davante Adams pulled out the Bo Jackson move.
He score and ran right into the tunnel.
What am I talking about?
The significance isn’t necessarily the same. That Raiders-Seahawks game was billed as Bo Jackson vs. Brian Bosworth. You can see on that play that Bosworth has no business being in the same conversation as Bo Jackson.
God, I wish Bo Jackson would have played football full time. The stupid Tampa Bay Buccaneers ruined that, though. That guy was so good.
At any rate, Davante Adams pulled the Bo Jackson after scoring the walk-off touchdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
BALL GAME!

Mathews, Perry, Cobb, Daniels…43 plus million?
Adams will get paid, Dix wants to get paid, Burnett wants to be paid, Linsley will get paid,House will want to get paid.
It would be smart to extend Mr. job security.
Jeff Janis…good luck with your career, goodbye.
Should be an interesting off season.
House GOT paid already when he left for the Jags. If he has any sense of realism, he knows his play over the past three seasons isn’t going to demand much, and depending what his injury situation is, it might be even lower than he expects.
I have a feeling Cobb’s deal gets renegotiated in the offseason or he gets released. Maybe something similar to an AJ Hawk’ish release and re-sign. The ROI on his utilization and performance isn’t there when Aaron’s out, and he didn’t step up when Jordy was out – arguably when he should have stepped into the limelight. Call me crazy, but sadly, I think Jordy could be a candidate too. He’ll be 33 next year and the Pack have a team option on him this offseason. His base salary next year is $9.25M with a total $12.5M Cap hit – the highest in any year of his contract. If I’m a business man, I’m looking at as a pretty big expense for cost cutting.
Morgan will definitely cash in and we should pay him. He may not be the turnover creating machine like an Ed Reed was, but he’s the most versatile and reliable player in the entire secondary. There’s a noticeable drop off when he’s not on the field. Unless management goes all in on Kentrell or Josh Jones (which may be the succession plan, time will tell), it would be smart to keep Morgan around.
The safety position in general is interesting. Morgan is still in his prime, he’s only 28. HaHa is 24 and still has another year on his deal. Kentrell’s deal is up in 2019 but you can kind of tell that Caper’s is trying to groom him into a successor ‘somewhere’. Josh is a rookie with some amazing potential and seemingly unlimited upside. If I had to take a guess here, I’d say Morgan gets a new deal and 2018 is a defining year for the entire group’s personnel strategy going into the future.
One thing we know with certainty… Adams is getting PAID.
Another bad Cobb take. The guy is very skilled and athletic. It takes a skilled defensive player to cover him, not just a “whoever’s left” guy. A worse slot WR out on the field, and the defense can take Adams out with a double, and say fine beat us with this leftover kid on our worst DB.
I’m not saying Cobb is a bad athlete or even bad at his position. We know he has all the potential. Im saying that his enormous contract and lack of production (whether that’s because he’s not producing, or because the QB behind center isn’t throwing his way) makes him a prime candidate for a business decision type of move.
If you’re paying $150 a month for cable, and you only watch five channels, you’ll probably downgrage if it make more financial sense.
In the case of Cobb, I’m talking about the ROI of his contract.
