Jaylon Smith has been exposed

[Doomsday]

That TD before the half is on Marinell and Richard.

They ran the same exact coverage 3 plays in a row when the Bears where on the 6 yard line.

Couldn't have made it any easier on Trubisky and expecting him to cover a WR on the final play was assinine.

Honestly, you could tell the moment the Bears lined up for that 3rd down play that Dallas was in the same coverage and it was going to be a TD. Too bad our coaches aren't very good and can't see the obvious. They had timeouts to burn as well.

Is there anyone on this team that HASN'T been exposed to some degree...? Genuine question here.

youre not wrong

The whole Defense was exposed and ran over. Listening to Aikman at the beginning of the game and was talking about how bad the bears line is and our Defense should feast all night. By the 3rd quarter he was in shock at how bad they were playing. Lol.

They really seem to suck at rushing the passer on the road

Yeah and I was hoping that we would get some sacks early and get in his head. But he was just running at will. Doing what Dak should have been doing.

 

[scottsp]

Look, I have as much to complain about with this player as anyone, but the fact he is carrying a WR or even a TE into depth, that he is matching up with these types in coverage is alarming to me. That the Bears - THE BEARS! - are just the latest to find this moneymaker again and again is about as damning an indictment of scheme and preparation.

 

[Whirlwin]

Poor coaching. Will expose everyone

 

[Number1]

our defensive scheme sucks. it depends on stout penetrating strong DT that can hold the line or peneterate and push the pocket, but they don't. so the LBs are exposed. we have not made adjustments in scheme. they also aren't game planning or scheming properly. Jaylon should have to cover the slot WR. that's coaching failure. the players aren't put in position to succeed. they are put in a read and react mode.

why no press coverage om 3 & goal from the 8?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

In fairness, you also said the Warriors and Durant would never win because nobody would want to pass the ball.

In fairness, you have lied about that since the time that discussion happened. That's your version that supports you. That's not the truth or the entire story.

To his credit they got the mismatch they wanted. When they finally scored, it was their #1 reciever on a linebacker. I'll take Amari against any linebacker in the NFL in that situation.

The bigger problem is the opponent got the matchup they wanted on 3 consecutive plays. At a critical juncture. To your point, can you even imagine an opponent allowing their LB to essentially have to cover Amari on 3 straight red zone plays?

Exactly. One word, coaching.

What defensive scheme should have him in coverage like that...….and repeatedly.

 

[TheCoolFan]

The team and fans want so hard for him to pan out so they can justify taking him in the 2nd round in 2016. He was awful in 2017 and much better in 2018 but everyone wanted to crown him and act like he was on his way to becoming the next Bobby Wagner/Patrick Willis. Then they give him the contract extension but let's face it, he's just an above-average starter at best and a liability at worst. He will never be a game-changer that people think he can be.

 

[ak47kaehu]

Jason's clapping got exposed too.

 

[Froski]

Jaylon isn't looking so good. Even more so after that classless shtick he pulled. Yes we love the guy because he put the work in to get back on field. But the tape doesn't lie man. It was foolhardy to pay him so early in hindsight because he needs to be in a limited role with the way he's looking.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

He needs to man up and get better, he plays too lackadaisical.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

No accountability whatsoever .

 

[Praxit]

..the only thing exposed are his shades that sell at 7/11 for $9.99.

 

[CyberB0b]

On one play, the ball carrier cut inside him. Instead of planting his foot and cutting back, Jaylon kept running. Looked like a semi trying to turn.

Just one play I saw.

Yeah, good analogy. He just can't plant and change direction. If someone makes a cut against him, he either jumps out of the way like a bull fighter or just keeps running the wrong way. He may not have drop foot anymore, but something is terribly wrong.

 

[Praxit]

He needs to man up and get better, he plays too lackadaisical.

..you cant fix instincts. You have em or you dont. He doesn't have em'. Will get lucky on occasion. How many times is the guy out of place, when transecting the ball? More than half the time.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Like the guy alot but I have noticed some things about him..

Last night they isolated him in pass plays. At one point they threw at him until they scored.

Each time he was beaten but their QB was inaccurate each time..not Smith providing good coverage.

So it's Jaylon's fault he was matched up against Chicago's WR1?

How many other LB's in the NFL do that? None.

Marinelli and Richard tell Jaylon what to do and it's their fault he was set up to fail.
