Outside contain doesn't mean you sit and watch the RB cut inside and do nothing. The play was right in front of him. As soon as the RB cut back inside, he could have have taken two steps and tackled him or at least been in on the tackle. Instead, he headbutted an OL, spun around, and ended up doing nothing. I don't get what he is doing half the time. He came up celebrating a tackle yesterday that he made 10 yards downfield on 3rd and 6. What is that?
Go watch the play. Zeke has outside contain and stays wider than the widest. He hits the OT at the same time the RB is cutting inside and past him where the DL and Sean Lee were wiped out.
Smith was never closer than 2 steps away from the RB and that was with the OT in between them.
It was terrible form from Jaylon but he just did his primary job here, force the ball back inside.
You can go watch Zeke's long run for the same play basically by Dallas and the Eagles LB does essentially the same thing minus any weird head butts.
Ideally Jaylon would press that OT and squeeze the hole but the hole was so insanely huge Jaylon just hit the guy out in space to block him.
There are far better full versions of this play on twitter and other places.
Guys jobs are gaps and holes not 11 dudes just tackling someone.
Jaylon probably could have avoided the OT and just ran to jump on the guys back at the end of the tackle after 10 yards because you do appear to love those plays.
