It’s difficult to imagine a Panthers defender publicly questioning former head coach Ron Rivera’s play-calling, even following a humiliating loss like this one. Second-year cornerback Donte Jackson wasn’t shy about calling out interim head coach Perry Fewell’s decisions, though.
According to Scott Fowler at the Charlotte Observer, after the game Jackson called two of the defensive coaching staff’s calls horrible, especially on a 93-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan to Olamide Zaccheaus on a zero blitz call that backfired in the worst possible way.
Jackson has a fair point about the zero blitz call. It’s worth mentioning that Jackson got beat on the play though. He also made a bad mistake earlier in the game by abandoning his assignment which led to an easy touchdown for Calvin Ridley.
This is not a good look and not the first time for Jackson.
