Because Garrett was al talk and no action.

I don't think Quinn would text Jaylon, he'd say it to his face, and if Jaylon was as disrespectful with his response, Quinn would try to choke him out Homer Simpson style.

Quinn is not the greatest in-game technician, but he's much more of hands-on (pun intended) coach.

That story if true is why Garrett is a coward and @Idgit can do his deflecting all day about that chump but at what point does he put Jaylon in his place? You're the head coach and you let (assuming) Jaylon talk to you like that and you do nothing just so you can keep your job? What a loser. And he still wanted to come back this year. God i hate him.

True, but I wouldn't put it past Jerry to clip his wings as far as benching him.

It makes Jerry look bad and an assistant coach isnt gonna do that.

From Smiths POV, I realize he already thinks he is great because his awful play is met with positive reviews from the walking ego, and also he is set for life financially.....but if he doesn't step up his game this year his life of being a celebrity Dallas Cowboy and making eight figures is over with.

Matter of the combo of him realizing it and Jerry allowing Quinn the authority he needs.

I'm happy you're comfortable with Quinn and like his methods and ability BTW. Gives me a bit more hope. Seriously.

Before this year, I thought Jaylon wasn't fully healthy. I thought he still had problems with his leg.
But seeing plays where he takes himself COMPLETELY out of the play, runs AWAY from the hole where the ball carrier is coming and being TOTALLY lost in his responsibility convinced me he's either just not a very instinctive player, he's scared or he simply isn't that smart.
It reminds me when I was coaching community football, and a parent was complaining because we wouldn't start this big kid on our team and asked me why.
And I told him when the hole opens up, he doesn't fill the hole; he runs away from the hole. You're just looking at his size and speed. He has no heart. We can't play him if he's not going to step into the hole and make the tackle. And we witnessed this over and over in practice. The kid was scared.
I really was pulling for Jaylon and want him to succeed. But watching him play is excruciatingly painful.

I think Jaylon can turn the hate around but he has to do 2 things:

1. Become a better football player
2. Stop celebrating when the team is losing.

I'm not holding my breath he can accomplish either one.

And therein lies the mystery of how much input Jerry had into coaching decisions.

No mystery. Jason garrett is a grown *** man. If he wants to bench a player he should just do it. He can explain why to jerry later

Did he just say they played elite defense in 2018???

Almost mentioned that about the end of this year.... unreal that he talked like they played great defense at the end of the year, it just took a while to learn the new defense.

It's like he has no idea that 1) they played a bunch of bad offenses, and 2) they were really only average. And yes, were hardly the 85 Bears two years ago. Incredible how clueless he is.

And on a side note, neither of the hosts pushed back one bit on that. It's like they're in the same club -- got paid and have great jobs, so who really cares about actually playing good football anyway?

Well, apparently, "If he's released as a June 1 move, he'll have his dead money split over two seasons which means Dallas could gain $7.2 million of cap space in 2021." (https://sports.yahoo.com/4-players-cowboys-could-trade-015940609.html)

Define production? Does he lead in anything other than tackles?

I did a quick google search. I would say tackle for loss is production. Smith is not in the top 100. He is making tackles but how far down the field?

Right. This is what Drummond at the Cowboyswire said about Jaylon - “Since, he’s looked completely lost more often than not, slow to react and many times going in the opposite direction of where he should on a play. Aside from the fact he never regained his insane athleticism from his pre-injury days, his instincts now seem bad.”

it’s his slow reaction and inability to take on blocks that he makes so many tackles 8yds downfield.
