Anyone heard anything about this?????????



Yeah reports of this have been coming out the past few days. There was a play in week 16 vs Philly in which Jaylon called the wrong zone coverage and him and Malcolm Smith were mixed up on what ended up being a big play. Smith also plays best going downhill and using his strength and straightline speed to make plays.

A mixture of Jaylon’s leadership/communication and physical strengths make the move to OLB a reasonable one. Also LVE is made to be a MLB in my opinion, might be more about his strengths than Jaylons.

I think we are going to see a lot of 3-4 fronts from his team this year. I think they have a lot of guys who can make the switch....Lawrence is the one concern but even then I can see him at a end in a 3-4 defense.

I don't see Jaylon surviving the year on this team as a starter. The guys who drafted him and waiting for him to get healthy are gone.

He's fine rushing the qb when it's a surprise blitz. As a rusher expected to get pressure, he can't push off tackles because of his foot. He won't get anywhere close.

It’s a great move, I watched Jaylon rush the QB a lot at ND. I always said that he could be a pass rusher if they chose to use him that way

Stop this this very minute.

We can not be expected to keep up with all these changes.

We only have about 22 players on defense and in the last week they have changed 27 of them.

I can't do the math anymore.

What am I going to have left to complain about anymore??

Preposterous.

Uncle.
