He really wasn't but your Smith bitterness is always impressive.
Yes he was. Jaylon was AWFUL. He has absolutely 0 feel.
Every one of these is a late run fit or just a complete inability to stack and shed. Fundamental LBer stuff that he is just poor at.




Not to mention the huge whiff on the Cook screen (first play)

Austin left 20+ return yards on the field and a possible TD. You are right, don't leave your chosen return man dangling and give him his head to chose when it's easily deciphered in play. If I were Austin, I'd have been heavily salivating...those game changers don't pop up very often.

the only thing you tell your returner in that situation is to be aggressive. It’s stupid to not take advantage of the stoppage on the change of possession with no time outs left.

Mark my words, this team is going to revolt sooner rather than later. Imagine being on this team for this long to be held back by Goody Two Shoes Garrett and Skeletor (JJ). What would happen if the whole team went on strike?

Only a fair weather fan would even think and suggest that this team of professionals who have had to do what coaches tell them from the very first time they played as kids would revolt against their coach. You are probably two things. A kid and someone who has never ever played the game in any organized league.

Sort of...the player in the action has to in the final analysis, be accountable for his own decisions. Players get 'away' with decisions that pay off...always have.
Soooo Austin just threw his coach under the bus to the media with no truth attached?

Never rule out the impossible. Crazier things have happened in sports.
By the way, it's disrespectful to come for someone's character over a da*n opinion online. That speaks on your character more than mine, but whatever. I'm just saying that these players are going to give up on this coaching and JJ if something doesn't change in fast.

It looks like Tavon had a clear lane all the way down the sideline. I think if he just took off right away he could have gotten it down to the 15 yard line.... assuming he did not make anyone miss or break any tackles. The problem is Tavon does not care. As a head coach you should never let players on the team that have that kind of attitude. The same attitude that Charlton had & Hill has. It is all about them. They need more guys with attitudes of passion like Michael Irvin, Jason Witten, Daryl Johnson, Bill Bates. Guys that will get in your face if you mess up.... because most of the coaches don't do it.

I see you are against players who do as told by coaches. Your line of logic about Austin couldn't be further from the truth if you tried. Please tell all of the times those players got in the face of coaches when they thought they made the wrong call! Luckily for us players are more professional than what you seem to be.

So, by that, you are saying that a punter never decides to run the ball instead of punting...and that applies to throwing the coach at the bus?

The man with the gun, either pulls the trigger or not...as to guilt?

One should be looking for a return man without an ounce of fear. Those are successful. Fearless is an attribute sought, not removed from the roll.

If the person was chosen for strength of challenging an opponent, then crisis managements instead, just aren't needed.

Blame? Not at all...chose the right man and give HIM his head.

Stating opinion as fact again I see.

Unlike you these player won't give up because they are professionals. Do you get in your bosses face when he tells you to do something that you think is wrong? Yet you think professional players will do that.

Can't argue a single thing contrary. Fearless should be a sought for attribute for a return man.

Maybe a Hail Mary is a 'better' management/coaching concept...:)

Professional Players have a hell of a lot more leverage than I do, but I doubt they'll revolt. That doesn't stop them from being angry. I still think something is going to happen within this team because there has been too much tension these past few days.

This revolt doesnt happen over winning and losing. The only time player revolt is when they feel their security or money is at risk. Now throwing players under the bus can make player lose trust in coaches and management which then can lead to feelings of trust in job security. But players revolting over losing will very rarely happen. This is a job and they are focused on getting as much money as they can and for as long as they can.

Fans typically get more emotional than the players over a loss.

If we lose the next game you will probably have the same reaction from the organization. More nonsense about study the game tape, learning from mistakes, blah blah blah.

Jerry has created this culture. The only ones that may feel nervous and exposed are the coaches. JG and Marinelli have both made so much money they will never have to work another day in their lives. Richard is young enough to land another job. Kellen Moore is looked at in a positive way and would land on his feet.

Let us lose the next 2 in a row and you may start hearing grumblings from some of the players that are pending free agents. But thats because they have pay days in doubt.

LVE was bad and was still way better than Jaylon lol


The linebackers have been real bad this year.

Smith has flashed occasionally, he overruns plays and tends to miss tackles going high - happens every game. He’s fundamentally poor, but tries to get by on his athleticism.

sean Lee - well, we’ll always have that 2nd Giants game. He’s 33 now, actually think he plays better when he plays more.

LVE - regressed badly. I hope it’s because of injury. I’m trying to think of one significant play he’s made this year.

Joe Thomas - solid for a 4th LB

Justin March - they played 4 LB in the goal line the other night, he was one of them. I couldn’t believe it. He was so bad on defense in the preseason I was hoping they cut him. supposed to be some core ST guy, I don’t see it.

Gifford - his one game day active, they gave up 52 and 47 yard KO returns. I’m wondering if he was on field for both.

Gee you're already back tracking I'm sure the players are angry but more so with how they played and what they missed on and could have done.

No one said Smith wasn't bad. Frankly, all three LBs sucked mightily on Sunday night. LVE had trouble getting off blocks as well and has all season. He also whiffed on a Cook screen, overrunning the play.

You have long had an anti-Smith bias here.

This has been said 100 times, but I will restate it. Tavon called for the fair catch immediately, and therefore the Vikings went half-speed down the field. If he had not called the fair catch, I highly doubt that big of a lane would have been there. I know all of you guys that played football understand the communication on special teams, defense and offense.
