Video: Jaylon Smith at practice yesterday

[ALBIT]

Nothing against Smith whatsoever but don't think anyone should ever wear 54 on the Cowboys ever again.

 

[Longboysfan]

I wish I moved that fast.

 

[TexasBacon]

Broaddus and Mickey Spag both seemed to think his participation is overblown on todays Talkin' Cowboys. They both said he's not doing as much as people think, he's still limited, and neither are sure he'll start the season on the active roster, despite what Jerry and Stephan say....was sort of a downer. I'm hoping they're wrong, but both of them saying it isn't a good sign.

HURRICANE MICK

I'll be honest. I have no idea if he's going to be ready to play this year or not.

But from that video, I don't discern anything that would tell me it's impossible or improbable. Just my opinion but I think some who watch these videos are doing so with a preconceived idea and are finding things wrong with Smith that aren't quite there.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I wish I moved that fast.

Agreed...He may or may not have drop foot...but if I was moving that fast I would have a case of drop butt as I would be sitting on the ground on my butt while trying to find my inhaler lol.

However i will say this...when it comes to cowboys players, injuries and the Jones family or coaching staff saying a specific time period for a player to be injured...I have learned to expect them to be on the sidelines longer than what the FO and Coaches tell people.

That first sentence disqualified the rest of the paragraph

I hear you.
But when those two are going the other way (more level-headed vs the usual sugar plum and fairy tails) it may be worth noting.

 

[risco]

I am no kinesiologist so can you be more specific? Did you watch in slo mo? To me I just see a guy moving around well.

Well, neither am I, but check the movement at time :38. It just seems the move is a little un-natural. Also even from the very beginning- left leg is dragging a little. Just my observation- I could definitely be wrong as I hope.

 

[bodi]

I have the "tap the brakes" attitude towards Jaylon Smith until I see him on the field during an actual game.

yup

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You can still favor a leg if it has a brace on it. He doesn't look to be cutting too much. Watch the beginning of the video.

I did watch it. He doesn't appear limping to me. He appears to have an uneven gait. Dropfoot doesn't make you limp, btw. It makes you walk knee high or swing. Not limp. He has the brace on anyway.

 

[Sepia]

We get to see him at practice today.

Well, the media does.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Watched the vid, I saw nothing favoring his leg. The guy was running full ahead, left to right, no hesitation from what I saw. Don't know why some here are saying he will be on the i.r. to start the season. We have around a month and half for start of training camp.

 

[speedkilz88]

BS

He appears to be right on schedule, correct?

 

[popp1234]

I want to know what Mickey fisher has to say on it first.

Exclusive, exclusive!

 

[Bullflop]

I don't think it's out of the question to believe that the staff is erring on the side of caution right now to avoid any sort of a setback with Jaylon. The time isn't right just yet to risk re-injury when not much is riding upon validating one's abilities and performances. That time will come during camp.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Good to see him out there. I would still have D. Washington's number on speed dial.

 

[erod]

Busts happen with perfectly healthy high draft picks, too.

I don't believe it with any rookie until I see it on the field.

The kid has a great attitude though.

More than likely, they're right. The Jaylon and Rico Gathers stuff is all WAY overblown.

Yes it has been that way for years...we had 2 years of it with Spencer....we will get the usual...day to day...come July 24...
Not so much about Jaylon but I bet about others too, like Hanna, Swaim...

 

[SportsGuru80]

Nobody knows for sure... It's a wait and see approach it appears.

 

[TheCount]

I wish I moved that fast.

To me, it seemed he was going 50%. I'm sure he has instructions to be patient.
