Twitter: Jaylon Smith loses to sled three times

[Pantone282C]

He needs Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit at this point.

And the poppy flower.

What's everybody upset about? That was pretty darn good sled work for QB. Romo has been hitting the weights during his retirement apparently.

 

[stilltheguru]

well

someones gonna step up and be the Alpha Dog.....

He had his chance as did LVE. they chose to help running backs off the ground. They can be a sidekick to Parsons but they arent alpha dogs

 

[Floatyworm]

This x100.

The guy personifies everything that is wrong with this franchise.

Gotta agree...but maybe times are a changing. Hence why we drafted Parsons. Honestly Jaylon was probably such a good athlete...no one ever took the time to teach him. There is nothing wrong teaching him now....I'm more worried about the lack of knee bend...and explosion.

No...it's technique. Poor coaching. His leg is fine

I dunno, Ranch

Seems he's struggling with placement. Runs stiff. His arms flailing....not out of control but looks odd.

JMO, Of course.

JJ really, really wanted the storybook ending for Jaylon. His optimism convinced him to sign Jaylon to the contract…

It’s clear that he simply can’t trust his body to play the game the way he needs to. Last year he was shying from contact and you have to wonder if the “blown assignments” were simply him subconsciously avoiding any type of physical situation that would compromise the leg.

The more tape that’s out there— the more exposed he will be. Dangerous for him physically, and clearly not what is best for the team.

At this point— JJ should step up and fall on his sword. Jaylon can’t play the position and all the rainbows and unicorns in the world aren’t going to make that leg what it used to be.

Time to wish him well, give him an injury settlement, and let him get on with his life. At minimim— open up the competition and make him a reserve player.

 

[America's Cowboy]

You don’t know the guy.

Don't need to. It's not personal. It's about his performance on the field. Pitiful. Weak...especially for a veteran supposed starting LB who is also the highest paid, by far, out of the whole LB group.

You're OK with that?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Man that was embarrassing to watch.

And hard to watch.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I can’t believe he’s still here.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

This sort of explains his highlights and lowlights of his career so far. His highlights were smashing a few QBs (Eli, Watson) which he could out-muscle with his upper body strength. His lowlights (beyond completely going the wrong way of the play) are when he tackles players either already going down by another defender, or him dragging them down 7+ yards downfield. He does not and can not drive off his foot and stop a RB or pulling guard in their tracks. He gets pushed back and hopes he can drag them down further down the field. Its so easy to get first downs on him because he has no way to stop a player in their tracks, again, unless its a QB or smaller player he can overpower with his arms

I guess I'm just hoping it's technique

 

[Beaker42]

Dude is turkey meat on Thanksgiving.
That leg is burnt.
No power from his base. No burst. No sustain.

It's sad to see.

At least he wasn’t a 2nd round pick.

 

[dmq]

How did Jerry give this guy an extension?

 

[Floatyworm]

I guess I'm just hoping it's technique

Some of it is in his head....he is clearly thinking about it....instead of naturally doing it. By now...this ought to be 2nd nature...instead...he looks like someone that has been through a lot of bad coaching.

[Floatyworm]

How did Jerry give this guy an extension?

The same way he gave Dak his....

 

[Mannix]

Didn't ya'll know that you can get in big trouble for making fun of women....watch yourselves....you've been warned!!! That attempt on the first video at 0:33 looks like his feet are cemented into the grass.....just cut this joke. Seriously....the sad thing is that if he's on the team, he plays.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Yikes.

Why is he juking the sled before he attacks it? For real...there is a stutter step in his approach. A running back's type stutter step at that.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yikes.

Can we trade for the sled?

 

[Mannix]

-------At minimim— open up the competition and make him a reserve player.

Agreed.....but if you really wanna see CANCER, make him a reserve. That is why he needs to be cut!!!!!!!!!
