Jaylon Smith Giants Thread

[wconn1979]

I just hope he can get the bobby carpenter curse off #54

I thought he played really well in his first game. I would like to see him deliver the big hit at times ala Ryan Shazier, and not be just a wrap-up tackler only. Huge hits lead to forced fumbles and dropped passes. He did have a nice forced fumble that should have counted because many of DeMarco Murray's fumbles happened the same way.

All in all a great start and huge production from at least six of our 2016 draft class.

I hope as the season goes on, Marinelli will be more aggressive with him. I'd like to see him make more plays in the backfield or around the line of scrimmage. The scheme last night seemed to have him drop back, recognize, and react and it led to plays that were 5+ yards downfield. I want to see them use his speed and explosiveness to go be disruptive at the line. All in all, great debut and I couldn't be happier for him and all of us who will get to watch such a great young man with an inspirational story play most of his career.

I also noticed they subbed Durant in some on 3rd down. Was that the primary rotation? Smith on 1st and 2nd down and Durant on 3rd down?

Durant played only two snaps on defense. Jaylon played 36 (out of a possible 56). Lee played every snap, and Damien Wilson played 17.

This play right here shows he can ball.

 

[raichledog]

He is so unbelievably fast! I know it is one play but when was the last time you saw speed like that from a middle linebacker?!? Unreal

 

[Zekeats]

Garrett ******* botched that big time. I was pissed when it happened and still pissed.

 

[coach steele]

While he still has some room for improvement, I think we can stop talking about the brace. The kid is a heck of an athlete.

Garrett didn't botch anything. He was going to challenge but the ref said that the play was blown dead so there was nothing to challenge.

I agree a botch would be insisting on it and lose a TO. Ref blew the call but once they claim the whistle was blown the play is dead.

I agree he played much more than the boys let on before the game, I believe on radio I heard at most he would play half the snaps, that clearly was not the case not sure if that had to do with Durant or how well Smith was playing. The thing about his injury is that the next day will provide lots of feedback and hopefully he can push through that pain and be available on thursday against the Broncos.

Thursday?

 

[Gameover]

He looks like Ray 'Killa' Lewis!

The Killa in Ray's name has nothing to do with real life incidents

 

[mardwin]

I'm very impressed with how explosive Jaylon played, what's more impressive is how well he complements Sean Lee.

 

[The Natural]

bu..but that no name guy from Oakland ran past him like a traffic cone

 

[Macnalty]

Thursday?

I am sorry for that reference it is clearly sunday the 17th at 3.45pm the Broncos vs Chargers are on MNF tonight so we shall see what kind of drama we will be involved in at the Mile high city come the weekend.

Myles Jack had 14 tackles yesterday....

 

[JBS]

There is no factual evidence (not to my knowledge at least) that the ref blew the play dead...that's all speculation by Collinsworth..

As a matter of fact, the shear fact that the refs went through the pile and awarded the ball to the Giants would suggest the play was not blown dead

Looking at the box score - Sheppard was credited with a fumble..so it was not ruled dead

 

[Idgit]

Flowers sucks.

 

[visionary]

He did great
Will only continue to grow
This defense could be really good by the end of the year
