Has this been reported about Jaylon?

[waldoputty]

even better

I said it last year....would you trade our pick at 34 for a top 5 pick this year? and it was how I sold myself on JSmith

it looks like it may pay off big time, even if we lose a year

in a couple months, i am going to find my jaylon bet thread and see where everyone was

I didn't like the Smith pick at all, but I do like the way you're looking at it. It's the flip side of not having had a 2nd or a 4th round pick last year. That draft has the very real potential to be one of the top-2 Cowboys drafts of all time.

 

[Proof]

I only have one thing to say. All the doubters in here crying at what a stupid pick it was going after Jaylon.

I want to disagree with this because of the lost year, but I paused to look at the selections after him and honestly only Noah Spence looks like a realistic option that could pay immediate dividends and who knows if he is the difference in the GB game or not. So gloat away sir.

I believe they plan on him playing with the brace.

I think that strategy might change when contact starts.

I just don't see how you can play a contact sport safely with a foot that doesn't do what you want it to.

People play with taped ankles all the time, and that limits what your foot can do.

 

[Melonfeud]

If league 'policy' allows braces/casts he's suiting up and hitting the field,,, as far as his contract goes? I couldn't tell you anything other than this cat wants his shot at one and maimed appendages ain't gonna hold him back .

Edit: @Gaede my vision is going south thought that read contract,, LOL you clearly said contact,,, stupid melon.

That's is true.

I just imagine that the instinctive reactions that prevent a lot of injuries will not be possible

Watch and learn my friend.

I am not even sure Jaylon Smith is a real person.

Seriously? You aren't sure if he is real? He is really good friends with Monti Te'os girlfriend...everyone knows that. Sheesh.

 

[AzorAhai]

Apparently to some it's not.............

Most of those people have probably made statements about him being a bust or the likes and are too entrenched in being right. I'm convinced there's people on here who would rather be right about him never healing over being wrong and him being the guy he was pre-injury.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

Blitzing isn't exactly a science. We collectively suck at blitzing because we dont crowd the line of scrimmage, we tend to blitz too late (and from too far out) giving the opposing QB plenty of time to see it coming.

And Scandrick has the biggest tell ever (he points his body to the qb and sneaks up 8 seconds before the ball is snapped). Never seen him fake it, everytime he shows blitz, he blitzes

How I would look at it is this way. Is Jaylon Smith at 80% better than Hitchens at 100% ? Probably. Smith with his drop foot will need to develop unique leverage technique to handle attacking OL. However, this might make Smith susceptible to other injuries as he compensates for the foot.

Wrong.
The peroneal palsy is only associated with dorsiflexion, so it has minimal effect on the ability to run, cut, fight off blocks, etc.

The deficit is simply flexing the foot upwards before setting it down again.
The brace used for this has spring-loaded dorsiflexion, so it helps with that particular movement.

As I've indicated previously, the total function of the foreleg will be at about 95% if the peroneal nerve is 50-70%. As the neurapraxia improves to 80-90% (possibly by TC), he probably won't need the brace, as he'll be at 98-99% functional.

The knee is fine, the strength is back, there is no compensation or asymmetry of motion (already demonstrated weeks ago), and there will be no increased risk of reinjury.

I hope your right. Everyone does. I didnt realize the brace was spring loaded.

I love it when you doctor me and I don't understand a lick of it but truly feel smarter afterwards.

That said, this kid is going to be amazing for the Cowboys.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Link where you corrected me before that. Also this flies in the face of you claiming that I lie about admitting a mistake.

Now on the contrary we have you haranguing me over "ignoring" Fisher and Chao's reports of no improvement as well as you flat out saying there was no improvement. When it became obvious you were wrong you changed your tune but that is just typical disingenuousness we have come to know and expect from you.

You were still wrong.

And once again, you've played yourself.

Let me educate you fuzzy. Posts are listed in sequential order; that means one happens before the other.

My post is #148

CalPoly: "You're staking your claim in assuming he wasn't wearing an AFO when he was "jumping on a trampoline." You don't know that despite what you think. Many players wear multiple socks (Deion and Tom Brady wear what looks like three or four pair)."

You then spontaneously "correct" yourself ten posts later #158

Now go ahead and try to lie about this like you are now claiming I "changed my mind" about Jaylon's health despite my posts saying the contrary. You're flailing in desperation.

Better yet, go fetch the post where you got exposed for lying and try to disputing it again.

Looool, like a toy...

Do you have any more pictures of Cowboys pointing in random directions?

Huh
