It’s amazing how well the linebackers play when a defensive tackle (Gallimore) causes havoc. Who knew..........
When you look Nolan's history with the Ravens DTs keeping the LBs free was really the foundation of the defense. I remember Ray Lewis ranting about it and how important it was so that he could do what he does when he played under Nolan.

He ranks like 40th of all NFL Linebackers and gets paid like Top 5

Should never have been called. That was one of the worse calls in NFL history. C'mon now.
Was listening to the radio broadcast while i was driving. Announcers said that this ref crew had only called 1 roughing the passer call all year and they weren't sure that the one called on Jaylon should have been number 2. Then I watched the game when I got home. Looked to me that he had his hand up to try and block the pass and was spun/blocked into Big Ben. Then they completely missed TJ Watt raking Gilbert across the face on our last drive. Maddening.

I would love to ask him, how does it feel to personally cost your team a win today?
Did LVE cost his team the game with his incredibly stupid punch? Personally, I'd cut Smith....Savion Smith for his whiff of a tackle and then getting hurdled by Ebron. Send him and his gold teeth packing.

Did y’all see the play where he flat-out tripped and gave up an easy catch on a shallow crossing route but was bailed-out by the receiver dropping the ball.

Of course that didn’t stop him from celebrating like he actually had something to do with the play.
That was unreal.

The two penalties were killers. the pass interference was probably a good call, but the receiver falling certainly didn't help things. The roughing the passer was probably a good call too, but I don't really blame Jaylon for that. Sometimes your hands wind up in bad places.

I was encouraged by Jaylon's play yesterday. With exception of one other game this year, yesterday was the only other game where he was not a massive negative out there. So I thought he was solid.

Now maybe when others watch the all 22 game they will see there were other opportunities to take advantage of Jaylon but they were missed.

@12:32 someone explain what happened with Jaylon? Was Ebron his man?

So draft a nose tackle in round 2. No more penetrating soft dts like hill and Crawford

Let him finish the season to help with the tank, but please do us all a favor and get rid of this clown in the off season, if this team plans on competing in the next few years Jaylon will or can’t be a part of it

There are players who develop a narrative, other acerebral fans pile on, and it becomes truth on a message board. I'd swear some of you never played a down.

Fans always get fired up about the idea of someone getting pulled off the team bus and cut.

It happens to coaches once in a blue moon :laugh:. But it will never happen to guys like Jaylon. If/when he leaves, it will be in the offseason.

Exactly, most NFL QBs take more punishment flossing their teeth than happened on the roughing penalty and we will still have ten threads demanding Jaylon be cut for it.

Need to keep your hand out of the face of a QB. That's just the way it is. Pretty bogus rule, but that is the rule. No question that Jaylon violated it.

Sure, I agree its the rule. But there is no question that Jaylon didn't make an intentional hit on the QB's head and no question that it didn't affect the play.

Here’s the issue with Jaylon, he came back from his devastating knee injury, played and a pro bowl level, got paid, and while healthy he’s become an average player not the player he was before getting paid. And as has been said, the Cowboys are in the position they are in even before the Dak injury have all their high priced players not even playing close to the level they are getting paid at which include Jaylon and Zeke.

Yeah, but if you do that, we will never see this after he makes a tackle 10 yards downfield:
