Image: What is Jaylon Smith doing on this play?

[Flamma]

Jaylon was making sure he didn't cut back and come his way.

Actually, it looked like he wanted no part of that action.

 

[Rayman70]

Ugh. He looked bad, but so did everyone else. Look at the entire defense. The only person who looked somewhat decent was Woods, who missed the tackle.

not the safety woods. He stank. Woods the dt was ok. Lots of alligator arm tackles today. On that reverse did you see the piss poor angles and efforts? OBJ ran thru 5 players who stood there reaching half assed to get him. After he scored he was laughing.

he made a business decision to protect his brand. DUDE S A NEVER WAS, A FRAUD. Needs benched and traded Monday.

 

[Rayman70]

Watch Jaylon. It looks like he diagnoses the play, realizes Hunt has the ball, he runs towards Hunt to make the tackle, then when Hunt stumbles around the 9-yard line, Jaylon inexplicably peaks back at the backfield instead of making the tackle.

wow, *** was that? WHAT was he doing?

 

[Rayman70]

Ty Crawford got tossed like a ragdoll. Xavier missed the tackle. The TE took A Woods out with a beautiful little clean up block- @xwalker. Joe Thomas got blocked 5 yards deep instead of taking the blocker on near the LoS. Jaylon looks like he thought it was a pass or something.

Yep. Team's got some problems.

its called not being prepared and well coached. Throw in the woeful lack of talent on D...and there you have it.

 

[Rayman70]

I heard an interview with him and it's his understanding that you have to physical distance while on the field...there ya go' makes sense, right?

...NO SALE.

Marinelli at least made them hustle. The players seem high off their breathe of fresh air.

 

[Rayman70]

He got paid thats all that matters.

Yup, just ask him..he will smile and tell you how blessed he is to have gotten the deal. Then he goes on to talk about his outside business ventures... NO PASSION FOR FB. It should be his first love, other than God and his family. That is very telling. He seems all to content with failure.

starting to miss the ole fart lol.. this clown show we have is even worse.

 

[plymkr]

Just me, have you ever though there are certain things physically he can not do coz of the drop-foot issue. In other words, just because his drop-foot is healed doesn't mean he'll ever be 100% the player he was before. I mean his straight-line speed is obvious but it appears he has little or no agility.......wonder why.

I think his wallet is weighing him down more than the drop foot. 2018 the drop foot was fine. He got paid and isn't playing with the same fire and desire. Well he's not playing with any fire or desire. Shameful

I'm not sure he played as well think in 2018. I think a lot the issues we're seeing now were there in 2018 but LVE's sensational rookie play camouflage a bunch of them.

Yep. Team's got some problems.

It starts with Crawford getting blown out.

What is DT Woods doing? He shoots to the other side of the OC. They didn't really block him as much as he just took himself out of position.

X.Woods can't make the tackle.

Joe Thomas is playing outside contain because he knows X.Woods coming inside puts that responsibility onto Thomas.

Jaylon is gun shy on giving up the outside plays because they've had so many issues with backside plays this season (i.e. The QB roll out backside after faking a run to the other side). I don't know why he hesitated once he came back inside.

Yeah, I agree. It was fool's gold. good point.

I said it in another thread, but the '14 Seattle game came on the other day, so I decided to watch a bit of it. I was shocked how hard our defense was playing in that game. Everybody from Jeremy Mincey to Justin Durant was flying to the ball. Night and day effort from what we're witnessing now. I swear for all the "talent" talk around here, I don't think this roster is anywhere as talented as it was a few years ago. We are regressing.

Talent isn't just raw athleticism. It's willpower and intelligence. The intangibles you see when a guy just makes a play. The CB who sees the play develop and leaves the exact spot he's supposed to be to break on a pass. Instincts. Sean Lee beating a RB to the hole and tackling him for a 2 yard loss. This team has no instincts.

Hate to say it, but the dude is playing scared.

He is more worried about getting hurt than actually making a play, that is why he is constantly on the perimeter and never attacking. When fear of injury affects the way you play on the field, its all over. We need to just cut bait and move on.

 

[Idgit]

He’s social distancing.

6 ft. no make that 12 ft.

There was another play in the game that irked me. The drive where the browns tied the score at 14. It was a run from the 50 that went for about 25 yds. Instead to looking to find the RB in the correct gap Jaylon seemed more focused on charging into and making a direct and hard impact on an olineman paying no mind at all to the runner who gracefully hit the hole untouched and pranced for 25! What a stupid player I thought at that moment.
