What's the story with Obbie and Emmanuel Jackson? Are they practicing? Done for the year? Both are still on the roster. A little defensive help/depth sure wouldn't hurt!

I think it's safe to say that whatever they did, or didn't do, must be moderately bad at least. Because the team sure could use them, and if they aren't being put in there after 5 games, I think it's safe to say it was relatively serious, or they aren't doing what was expected of them to get back.

Jacksons are likely gone. Easy to see that Lester has set the bar and these kids couldn’t keep themselves above it. Interesting that they are still on roster. My guess is that it’s bad enough that an example is being made and in the worst way. Curious.

They are very quick with roster updates, so I imagine there is a chance for redemption yet.

It's easy as ABC, as simple as do-re-mi. Follow the rules or don't play.

Now this was real music, not that rap crap popular today!

Will we ever get an update as to our FB Jackson’s? Can someone ask TL at his weekly presser? Both still on roster last I checked. Holding to 4 games or less this year possibly?

They must have broken some team rule... and from the fact that we are 7 games into the season and they haven't made an appearance it must have been something pretty bad. TL has obviously allowed them to stay on the roster... but likely on some sort of forced suspension from all team activities for a set period of time where they probably have to prove they are willing the put the team ahead of their own selfish behavior.

This is just speculation... and who knows what rule they violated... haven't seen them on the news so thats positive... they likely didn't break any laws or someone here would have likely rooted that out of public record by now...
