Cure All: Jerry Jones talks potential role for Jaylon Smith
http://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/201...-jones-talks-potential-role-for-jaylon-smith/
...Jerry recently spoke to ESPN Radio in Dallas about expectations for Smith as spring nears. Here’s what he had to say:
“We have, in Jaylon Smith, a real improvement to our defense. He can play now if he starts now and has the kind of spring that you’d expect him to have,” Jones said on ESPN Dallas 103.3 radio. “He can play, in my view, where he is. But I do expect him to improve with his nerve and even be more comfortable, but in my mind, he’s capable of playing right now.” He would continue to hint more at Jaylon’s role by saying: he’s not necessarily your designated pass rusher, but I don’t know that he can’t be an outstanding pass rusher,” Jones said. “He’s outstanding every place else. Now this guy is – healthy – a No. 1 pick.”
There’s no doubt if healthy Smith will play. If or when he does he’ll play all over Rod Marinelli’s 4-3 defense likely as a middle linebacker, weak side or strong side linebacker or a pass rusher off the edge.
