But I was told that Jaylon Smith was doing much less than what we was being written by many. That his work was mostly on the side and did very little.

So which was it?????????

That guy on the left looked very uncomfortable...

Thanks for posting for the rest of the board.

So, are cooling expectations, or hyping him up lol

 

[Teague31]

Can't wait to see La'El destroy some people this year

Clarence Hill? Thread closed. That guy is awful.

- I thought he was about to undress.

Had a hitch in his giddy-up, apparently.

Maybe he was not wearing "Tommy John" underwear.

i really don't think any other teams fear Jaylon smith yet more than likely they think he wont play at all this year I think the hype train is really going down the tracks very fast

Drew Davison. Doing the pee pee dance on-camera. Poor guy.

Collins' feet are much better right now than Doug Free's feet have been for years. He will have better lateral movement to defend against pass rushers. The questions surrounding Collins' move to right tackle are

• Is his pass blocking strength equal or better than Free's?
• Can he block as well or better than Free on run downs, a part of Free's game that he was above average?

The offensive line doesn't skip a beat if the answer is yes to both questions as far as right tackle is concerned. Left guard has a question mark floating over it though.

I think that right tackle is set and left guard is fine. The players suiting up can easily cover guard, center, and tackle as well.

Haha yes - are his pants too big for him? He spent the entire video holding them up then scratching himself all over.

I think the media is downplaying anything with jaylon to not let out how he looks and his knee progress. Why disclose it now ? Let teams keep guessing and he'll show up game one with an impact well deserved...hopefully

I'm a Broaddus fan, as I know many are, though I probably find myself disagreeing with him as often as I find myself agreeing. But on this particular front, I hope he's recognizing that he appears to have gotten out in front of the story by being so critical over the last month of the front office's optimism. While I appreciate the sentiment in general that fans should understand that the execs, staff and coaches all have some built-in motive for being more glass-half-full than empty, in his rush to attempt to be Mr. Balanced, it's sounding like he took a step or two beyond what probably was appropriate here.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that, because I could be. But I just listened to last week's podcast-palooza with him on TC, and that's my admittedly-knee jerk reaction.

Uh, Clarence, 45-year-old men shouldn't be wearing their fraternity crap anymore, buddy.

How exactly do you make a big impact in practice shorts?

Just make sure that everyone has a #cleareyeview of what's going on in those shorts.
