Twitter: What is Jaylon Smith doing on this play?

[Zordon]

Man, we've witnessed some bufoonery from the linebacker position this year, but this might take the cake. This play exemplifies the lack of confidence both Jaylon and LVE have displayed this season. Both play with a total lack of instincts and are constantly on skates.

Just looks like he is cashing a check for the skill set of a player way above his skill level.

Lol and that's not even the worst play. Remember against Cleveland when this joker face masked a runner that was already tackled?

This guy's head is clearly elsewhere. Another Cowboy more worried about his own brand than the Star on his helmet.

He knows exactly what he is doing...avoiding contact. Does it every week.

He has showing up late as the tackle is already being made down to a science....this play is the biggest head shaker in recent memory.

I’m glad I didn’t watch the game.

Not only is that a poor read by the backer, but you have some lazy DT play as well which irritates me even more.

Woods is slow off the ball, stands straight up, and easily gets washed down into the B gap by the center who gets freed up to take on Jaylon. Minimal effort by the Center, he literally just pushes Woods down the line and out of the play.

Gallimore was the 3T. High pad level, clearly playing pass the whole way. Tries to fight back across the G into the play, but has not technique what so ever. He just tried to power his way into the play, but he had no leverage on the G and comes nowhere close.

I'm not making excuses for Jaylon, but i'm not sure Brian Urlacher in his prime could consistently stop the run with these fools at DT.

Lame explanation by Acho.

Jaylon was already there within arm's reach of the B gap. Absolutely no reason to be playing spin around the rosies while running away from the ball carrier.

Yeah the team gave up 7 points and caused three fumbles. Jaylon led the team with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. He sucked real bad this game.

My favorite a couple of weeks ago is when he fills the wrong gap that a mouse couldn't fit through, runs into the back of two Dallas players, turns and looks at they rb walk in for a td and makes the w t f gesture.

Like lol. Hope he doesn't gamble with his free paychecks. Would be the worst poker player ever guessing wrong 90% of the time

We see these plays for Jaylon each week. Today was no different.

Yea, they played who, Cincy? Give me a break.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Him doing stuff like this is almost as certain as the sun rising....

I have not been a Jaylon fan, but I think on this play, Jaylon made the right call personally.

He knew that if the RB ran inside, he had help with LVE, but if the RB bounced outside, he was going to gain more yardage so Jaylon spun out to fill that area.

It only looks bad because he left the area where the RB went, but if the RB had bounced outside, it would have been a good play by him.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Jaylon is a guesser.

He guesses right, he looks spectacular.

He guesses wrong and you get this.

 

[DoctorChicken]

This is why I’m for Micah Parsons at our pick.

 

[tico]

He makes so many tackles falling backwards...lol

 

[Bigdog]

He is making a business decision as he sees the Fb coming his way and wants no part of him. He is afraid to tackle.

As a LB, you never are supposed to turn your back to the RB running with the football. If you attack a gap but then are supposed to run over to another gap, slide or shuffle on over, NOT what Jaylon did. Unless, he can't shuffle or slide over because of his leg? Is his leg limiting him?
