CNNSI Host: Welcome to today's Super Bowl chat with Seahawks WR Darrell Jackson. How are you Darrell?
Darrell Jackson: I'm fine, trying to make it.

From Micheal: Darrell, you are the man. Who's going to throw you the ball next year?
Darrell Jackson: I don't know. I will have to wait until camp to see who can get the job done.

From packfan: Darrell, tell your coach to trade his first-round pick and hopefully another pick or player for our backup Matt Hasselbeck and our first rounder. My team needs a wide receiver!
Darrell Jackson: Well, actually, I talked to Hasselbeck the other day, and he said he was thinking about coming over to the Seahawks. So you may get your wish.

From seahawksFan: Hey Darrell congratulations on a superb rookie season. Do you think the defense needs to improve next year?
Darrell Jackson: Yes, the defense was near last in the league in many areas. But they will pick it up next year and become a dominant defense.

From Edge: How important do you think the passing game will be in today's game?
Darrell Jackson: I think the passing game will be very important. Neither team will run that much. Which ever team's receiver shows up will win the game. I think that will be Ike Hillard.

From hey: How do you think Michael Vick will do next season?
Darrell Jackson: He is talented. But in the NFL that position takes time to mature. So who's to say.

From Rob: Darrell, have there been many changes on the offensive side of the house regarding the Seahawks for next season?
Darrell Jackson: You know, I've been on vacation. So, I really can't answer that right now.

From pee00: What unexpected player will have a big day today?
Darrell Jackson: My man Ron Dixon from the Giants.

CNNSI Host: That's all the time we have today with Seattle's Darrell Jackson. Thanks for joining us today and enjoy the Super Bowl.
Darrell Jackson: OK you guys take it easy now.
