Jaylon Smith is crazy fast

[Mobinvans]

Rewatched the game....I couldn't believe how fast Jaylon Smith is....he was flying to the ball and I mean mean flying

That near interception by Heath. Did you noticed that Jaylon Smith was there in coverage against OBJ? Holy crap

Yea that stood out to me a lot more than the INT itself.

When Smith sees the play and can play in a straight line, you can really see the athleticism.

Loved that hit on Eli! And yeah, he looks to be all the way back physically. Still seems to pick the wrong angle or hole on occasion but that will improve over time. Can't wait to see his development.

I could watch that hit he had on ELI all day. Smashed him

 

[Mobinvans]

I owe Jerry an apology on that pick...I thought it was stupid at the time

Kid can ball

There was a play when he filled the hole and forced Barkley out of bounds like he shot from a rocket

That play stood out to me the most. Jaylon covered serious ground to get the 3 yard loss. Speed was on display.

That was insane.

He still can get churned up in traffic and can get stuck on blocks, but in space, he's a missile. And he had a couple of missed tackles last night (But he was a pretty sound tackler at ND so not concerned). Early in the game, he sniffed out an outside run by Barkley, blew through a hole and shoved Barkley out of bounds for a loss.

He's likely going to get better the more he plays.

Imagine how fast he would be if had 2 good legs. And I hear that he turns like a sail boat.

Incredible game for him all around. He really is a different player out there. I couldn't believe that was him running down the middle of the field on that OBJ pass. crazy.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I'm so glad the permanent drop foot obsession is finally gone from this board,,, that was tiresome.

He's the fastest LB to have ever played the game.

Jeff Heath has some speed as does LVE

 

[davidariust24]

Our defense is very fast. Even the second teamers have speed

 

[Verdict]

I'm not sure his change of direction is fully back, and I'm not sure if it is physical or mental.

I'm not sure his change of direction is fully back, and I'm not sure if it is physical or mental.

Still has a tendency to over-run plays due to that great speed.

To me it's equal to what the Gnats ODB catch on Carr. I watched it 20 times hopefully 100 by the end of the day...lol
