It’s hard to not see that hes not even top 3 even possibly top 4 linebacker on the staff. Releasing him is showing how they messed up and admitting fault. I still do think they keep him. Just for jerry ego

154 tackles last season.

he stays.

Rumor has it, an unknown team has an trade offer for Jaylon Smith on the table
involving a 40 oz. Budweiser in a brown bag and a pair of Aviator shades from
the local 7-eleven, which, by the way, is where this hot rumor came from... lol

At this point, anyone discussing tackle numbers and pro bowl votes are either
trolling, or incapable of understanding the game of football. I mean, even the
football insiders are reporting on the obvious and inevitable.

Agreed. The amount of tackles are misleading. When your dline is letting rb rip through the line, tackles will add up for the linebacking staff

Exactly right. Those worthless ‘tackles’ were happening 5-10 yards down field. Everybody knows that Smith wasn’t good last year. And all signs point to him looking even worse now.

The good news is that while some people choose to live in denial, they can’t spread it unless we allow them to.

good enough to get a Pro Bowl and lead the team in tackles the last 2 seasons.

Other than that...not good enough.
plus be available every game to play unlike Lee, Leighton, Gifford, Bernard and the list goes on

it was a feel-good story that has an unhappy ending. The store has been written and now the ending is near.

Yeah led the team in "Hang on for dear-life tackles, 10 yards down the field.." Definitely lead the team in that category the last 2 seasons. LOL!!
Wish other players on the team could get "hang on for dear life tackles" then maybe they wouldn't give up 300 yards rushing.

You guys are complaining about a guy that made tackles but praising others that couldn't make the tackle or missed at a high rate..... Leighton....

I’m not sure that he finds another team after the Cowboys release him. The rest of the league watches film and keeps up to date on other teams and their players. If we’re seeing it, people paid to do so are certainly seeing it.

If ‘tackles’ 5 yards-plus down the field are the best ‘stats’ the excuse-makers can give? That’s bringing a knife to a gun fight. And they know that.
