Kelly basically saying don’t overreact to Jackson’s 2 TDs as it was as much bad tackling as it was good running

Jackson has a had a up and down camp. He’s broken a lot of big plays but he’s also had multiple fumbles, a couple dropped passes that ended up as interceptions and some problems blocking.

He’s a freshman and those things are expected but it’s going to be hard to break through a crowded and upperclassmen laden RB group if you’re making those mistakes.

That's not exactly what I heard, this is what I got. He asked the question (rhetorically) was it a great run or was it bad tackling? Then he said probably it was a little of both. He did not emphasize whether it was more, less, or about the same one versus the other.

I got more of the vibe that he is a great runner but still has to learn to do some things better, whether that is blocking, learning his plays and hole selection, ball security, or any other host of things was not entirely clear. Just don't expect to see him as the feature back. In other words, not Herschel 2.0
