Jaylon Smith closer to being back

[Corso]

Sean Lee with high praise here:



I can't wait to see them together in tandem.

I want opposing teams to look at our front 7 like this and Jaylon/Lee are the beginnings of this:

 

[XDez88BeastX]

If he has never played a down in the NFL, can he win the Comeback Player of the Year award?

Honestly thats a good question because if he plays well he should be in contention after coming back from what he is.

Definitely encouraging. But we won't see him at his best until 2018.

Until then, he will be part of the rotation and contributing, barring any further setbacks.

Whatever this means...it doesn't make sense to me....
If meant to be a slight of my thread, go away....it is not needed....go back under the rock you came from for so long

Lol. You aren't sensitive.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Whether or not he accrued a year of service time is uncertain. He was on NFI so the letter is he did not but Jerry is known for granting that type of thing anyway.

He could be eligible for RotY.

Lol. You aren't sensitive.

Sorry, just seemed like you were making fun about it. I just thought people would want to see some good news straight from JS himself.

Not a worry. You's good people and would like you to think the same about myself.

If this kid can play 14 games this season, and be in Notre Dame Senior Season mode, we might make the SB this season!!

But...........

 

[bodi]

you know I think S Lee was hitting the juice this off season have you noticed the size of his guns this year

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don't know about that but he is eligible to be called Super Bowl Champion.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Not a worry. You's good people and would like you to think the same about myself.

Yeah don't worry, just catch up....you just happened to talk too early.

But we are here for you, whatever you want to know cause you were around the time I disappeared and much longer.

BTW, Joseph Randle likes men's underwear......google it. Still don't understand but that's another subject.

all is good
Just need to get this game started tonight, see some of our young guns and the future

 

[phildadon86]

When and if he's able to comes back, it's a guarantee he'll be the comeback player of the year....He had one of thee most devastating injuries in all of sport and the NFL would clearly recognize that accomplishment..

If? Lol you are still trying to force this narrative down our throats that hes never going to play again. The guy is suiting up week 1 whether you choose to believe it or not. I dont know why you are still trying to be right when everyone here knows hes playing.

Reckless speculation.

What game has he played in, he hasn't played in a year and a half and aparently not playing tonight..... I'm not forcing any narrative Son, you apparently seem to be completely clueless to the fact he has a very very serious injury for which he still isn't 100% and is limited if you watched him and he still requires 6 to 9 month's to fully recover, and that doesn't mean he can or cannot play football again, so "IF" he does fully recover and the fact the NFL garbage heap is filled with many players that couldn't continue to play because from Micro fracture surgery or even nerve damage which caused Darren Woodson to retire early because he couldn't play......Smith has a far worse injury!! Try taking your Koolaid glasses off and see a serious injury for what it is.....

Yes, another JS is back thread, but he says he has been practicing without the brace at times.

They take the following statement and surmise that it means he is practicing without the brace:
"I've been able to do a lot of things without the brace," he said. "And that will continue."

He was already quoted as saying that he wears it in practice but can now walk around in daily life without it.

It's possible that he is doing the walk-thru practices without it, but I'm fairly certain they won't put him out there in real practices without it.

i read he does somethings on the field without the brace.

they would be insane to put him in padded practices without the brace until he is 100%.
in fact, even after full recovery, he may wear some type of protection.

One of the biggest problems with our defense against Green Bay in the playoffs was bad tackling on run plays and on short passing plays. Jaylon has the athletic ability and the instincts to to make that problem a lot smaller.

Nobody seemed to notice, but one of the biggest screw-ups on that game losing play in the GB playoff game was Justin Durant. For some reason he held up in the flat as if he was covering a zone instead of going after the GB QB who had rolled out to Durant side of the field. There was initially nobody to block Durant and there was no receiver anywhere in site, but he held up instead of instantly going for Rodgers. It easily could have been the difference in the game.

Yes, I just don't think they would let him try it even if he wanted to. Garrett is very conservative on these types of issues.
