Get rid of 54

[boysfanperiod]

Truthfully, I don't think he's a smart player, as he seems to have zero football sense.

I think his body and his mind are not in sync which makes him look not smart regularly.

He may never be what he was before his injury

May never be?

That's a given, he won't....

 

[GroundZero1970]

Needs to change jerseys and quit disrespecting The Manster

It's like a bunch of jr high kids picking on the special needs child during dodge ball.

Tomatoe/tomato.

I bought into the great story of his remarkable comeback after being injured in college and then being picked up by the Cowboys. But that was then and this is now. Dude doesn't look close to being the player he was. He is always two to four steps late to the play. Jerry it is time to move on.

Every defender seems to have regressed.

Bet Marinelli's laughing his you-know-what off...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He’s so so bad. But he’s Jerry’s golden child.

He picks the wrong Gap on purpose. He does not want to take on contact straight up. It’s remarkable. I blame the coaches for allowing it. At a minimum the guy should not dress until he shows he is serious about being an NFL linebacker.

This!!

If he can’t be cut. He should be immediately benched. Inactive on game days

 

[Proof]

Today. No where near the ball and when he is looks totally lost. Dumb dumb dumb.

never soured on a player so quickly. Dudes a terribum.

tony pollard is challenging him tho

He's also the playcaller on defense. That might be the biggest problem. Got the stupidest guy on the field making the calls.

 

[kumizi]

Jaclyn needs to go!!! What happened to the guy from Nebraska who got hurt last year? What about Pam Oliver...she looks heavy enough to play some nickel.

lol

But if he is playing well the more money he gets. And you don't come back from the injury he came back from without toughness. I get your'e frustrating but I can't say that.

And you keep talking about what Jaylon is being paid....Jaylon signed the deal. And that doesn't give Lewis, Griffen or anyone else a excuse to suck. Joe Thomas isn't paid like a star but he's playing well.

I am not sure what you are getting at. Smith is paid to be a star. He is not close to that. Period. The bigger issue is his effort, week after week, is suspect. Bottom line is the guy needs to be benched. He is hurting the team.

The Jaylon Smith situation really confuses me. Two years ago he was really good. He and Vander Esch formed what looked to the the best young linebacking duo in the entire league. Of course Vander Esch has had injury issues ever since, but Smith should be much healthier last year and this year than he was previously. You could say that the scheme this year doesn’t fit him, but he was awful last year in the same scheme where he played so well. It’s got to be one of two issues. 1). He really needs Vander Esch in order for him to play well. 2). He got paid and is just going through the motions. I think it’s number 2.

Effort is not the issue, with all those guys running around, do you know how hard it is to avoid contact?

He was never a star though. Not since Norte Dame.

 

[Wezsh0T]

Get rid of the ENTIRE defense

We can keep Aldon Smith and Joe Thomas. Maybe Trevon Diggs.

...no argument there, Shorty. Dallas franchise doesn't have the balls execute the unthinkable.

Because he wants to make the "splash plays" and give the swipe to build his brand. He's out there for himself, not for the team and certainly not for the win. He doesn't want to do the selfless, but needed, dirty work of stuffing/chopping down the block, giving his teammates a tackle, but keeps chasing "Hero moves". Win/lose...doesn't matter, he's looking for highlight reel "Me" plays. Screw this kid. I bought into his crap when he was drafted and defended him for the first couple of years. Honestly, as questionable as Bruce Carter was, I think I'd rather have him in his prime here. Sure...his initial physicality waned just like Jaylon's, but he at least didn't have an uncanny knack of sabotaging our defense several times a drive. It's like we're playing 10 vs 12 on defense.
