How's Jaylon been doing lately?

[vlad]

For any tape-watchers, etc...how has Jaylon been playing lately? Are there things he's doing well,are there concerns for the player he will become, do we still really have no idea due to the injury?

With LB such a concern this year, and with Hitch a FA and Lee a year older, I'm curious how much he's a part of the solution going forward.

I have no clue, so looking for some informed opinions. Thanks.

Moving better, improved recognition and not biting on misdirection as much, understanding coverage assignments better and how teams are attacking him. Starting to make more plays than he gives them up.

You watch the games right? What does your eyes tell you on how Jaylon Smith is playing?

The Cowboys' trainers have said Jaylon will be even better next year when he's 100 percent. Add in the improvements he's already making as far as recognizing his assignments; etc. and it looks like Dallas' big gamble is going to pay off.

Thank you Mr. Guy. You really added a lot.

Bah Humbug!!

Whole lotta meh and blah...

Had 1 tackle against the raiders. His worst game stat wise.

 

[LocimusPrime]

He's better than the beginning of the season but I wouldn't cast him as a starter next year. He can rotate in and get snaps here and there.

Good enough for Hitchens avoiding missing time with a bum knee afraid of being Wally Pipped.

Jaylon mainly comes in coverage situations and the raiders didn't run all that much anyway.

smith is starting to play better but still needs work. he is better in his last four games then in the previous twelve. I thought the rams and packers games were the worst he was one of the reasons why the defense gave up so many rushing yards in those two games.

EVEN BETTER!!!
Is that humanly possible?

 

[Fizziksman]

playing better but yeah it was pretty clear the injury limits his lateral movement so any kind of stretch play kills him

 

[CyberB0b]

Could possibly be an NFL starter, but still a huge question mark late in his second season.

 

[haleyrules]

Hardly noticed him in the last 2 games. That's probably not a good sign.

 

[erod]

He's played better in limited time.

Big offseason coming for him. We'll know for sure about him next season.

Better than noticing something horrific he caused...

Best post you've had in weeks.

Kudos.

We have to remember this kid missed his entire rookie year, training camp, preseason, everything. Like I said many times, when he started, he was playing on raw athletic ability w/o clue of reading plays or coverages and it showed. Like Fuzz said, now he's starting to understand the game better. I agree with the Cowboys trainer, look to see the Jaylon Smith we thought we were getting next year. We can the see the speed, energy and work ethic. Next year I expect this kid's level of play to be right there with Lee or better. IMO he's a keeper........
