Jaylon Smith weekly thread?

[Hawkeye0202]

There are usually at least two threads by now. What's going on guys??? Is this good or bad??? (LOL)

Seriously ........something I think we all can agree about his game Sunday. He played hard....

BTW: something that's gotten lost in all his criticism is his durability.

 

[Sydla]

He wasn't all that good yesterday. I mean at this point, it's broken record pointing out all the bad plays he made. He wasn't alone either, Thomas wasn't very good either. I thought Lee played fairly well, however.

 

[JakeCamp12]

He is a nice person, and has a great heart. He is just not a good linebacker right now. Can he get better? He probably can if he works at it. I would prefer to move on from him.

The celebration after stopping the Eagles player after a 10-15 yard run was about all I could stand.

What a tool - the guy is an idiot!

 

[streetcredit]

count how many tackles he makes facing his own endzone.....yikes

I saw that too. I think we save a little over $500,000 if we cut him. I can't wait.

That's not unique to him. A lot of players do this. Guys celebrating after a big hit on a 20 yard reception crack me up.

usually I don’t care if overpaid prima donnas are durable or not

this is the same as Garrett apologists telling us that he gives great press conferences, LOL

 

[805BoysInBlue]

He made a play against an eagles linemen yesterday that looked dirty. It looked almost like a headbutt, the linemen dropped to his knees and went out the game with a concussion

Welcome to the NFL of the modern era ! When did you start watching ? lol

Jaylon needs to settle down and not overreact to everything he reads, he looks like he is running in circles cuz he follows the deception every play and then tries to compensate and recover. I focused on the departed Hitchens and Wilson the other night, not much difference, many bad plays

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

There was a tweet (I can’t find it) in the game thread that showed him jumping on D. Lawrence’s back in a lame attempt to pile on a tackle.

Like Sydla said, what else needs to be shown? He’s so routinely bad that it becomes a chore to point it out.

just remember guys the "professional" in professional sports leagues exited long ago...if you get a chance google JJ watts press conference from yesterday, so spot on...

I love his pass defense as well...

He looks like a hostage that’s been freed and is running out of the building with his hands up.

I'll have to watch the game again to really have a stance on Jaylon this week. Watching live it seemed like he really struggled in containing Hurts, and the Cowboys had to bring down a safety to be the spy. Massive running lanes up the middle repeatedly, but i'm guessing that was more on the DTs than Jaylon alone.

I've said it before, it's like he snorts pixie sticks before each series. He is a spaz out there just running around like a chicken without a head. His feet are constantly moving, he never just settles down, he throws himself onto piles, runs all over the field, etc. It's like he has a perverse notion of "hustle" where he thinks if he just runs around a lot and constantly is moving, he's trying.

I think he's a guy that needs an elite LB coach to try to fix him at this point. I don't think he's getting that here.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Like the previous poster noted, it's a broken record. The eyes and instincts needed don't exist.

While the interior DL also needs to be upgraded, if you add 2 average LBs who play with disciplined eyes and good instincts, you'll see a noticeable difference in the defense. Many of those 7-8+ yard carries suddenly become only 3-4 yard gains.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

There was another play early in the game where he was out in space and either the RG or RT straight up pancaked him on his back like a video game.
