Can left tackle Austin Jackson bounce back?

No Miami Dolphin played worse last weekend than Austin Jackson. The 2020 first round pick was overwhelmed in pass protection simply by not executing his fundamentals as a blocker. Too many plays ended with Jackson on the ground and Tagovailoa under pressure. And then Wednesday’s practice against Atlanta was reportedly just as bad before a rebound on Thursday against Atlanta in practice.

That’s great. Now bounce back in the game, too — or else the panic over Jackson at left tackle is going to reach new heights this upcoming week.
