It would be a great boost to the defense if he can play at a pro bowl level

Lee and Jaylon a winning combination.

I'm not as high on him as most scouts were and fans, and I sure as hell don't like him as much after having to come back from an injury he sustained.

However, I'm hoping to be wrong.

That you are clear about wanting to be wrong is a nice change from those that want him to fail so that they are not shown to be wrong.

Isn't this like rehashed information?

I hope this kid can be what he once was

Easy, fella'...Bill's watching.

This will be year one for his time on the carpet and in pads. A lot of very good first round picks have gone through half of a season - live, before getting the trust level to start for their team. Hey, this guy is well on tract for his own development. What more can a fan wish for, than the time line of play moving closer?

I think perhaps Jaylon is about 80% of what he was at Notre Dame.

If so, he'll make our LB corps better than they've ever been yet!

Yep, it sure is -- but the offseason is funny that way.

Yep and even if he can't in 2017, he very well might next year!

Think about it this way.

If he's only active for Game 1, he'll already be as productive as Myles Jack. LOL.

What happened with that guy?

What happened with that guy?

Not sure, seemed to struggle in Jax picking up the D and adapting to the NFL. Didn't play a ton on a bad defense. Jax tried him a SLB, then WLB and now appear to have settled on him at MLB. Not sure if he was having lingering effects from his knee injury too.

There are expectations he will start this year at MLB for them.

I would put it closer to 90%.
