I pretty much try my best not to pay attention to what he is doing out there or it ruins the whole game for me.
I have a special software that digitizes his image like in bad porn....but unfortunately now I see a digitized blob being carried down the field by the opposing rb

I’m the opposite. I can’t take my eyes off him because it’s halfway comical.

Mo Claiborne had me doing similar things watching him avoid tackling.

I don’t think he has the pass rushing skills or discipline to play OLB in a 3-4.

As a flat pass rushing OLB always in a forward movement , i think that is the only way he can have a chance in this league.
if he is caught in a position per middle or weakside, strongside, where he has to reverse field in coverage, he's toasted most times
i thought he should have been called for pass interference with his back to the ball on a receiver who knows what happened on wide open
TE hayden hurst TD pass.

Joe thomas doesn't have immense size, power to always hold up vs run, but he has enough instincts and play-read to get himself in better
position or read-react better than what we will see in Jaylon.
And he has speed to be enough of a factor in coverage , another area where jaylon continues to struggle.

Coaches are trying to scheme for Jaylon and work to his strengths, and hide his weaknesses, ..but with a guy that has very questionable instincts
doesn't play physical thru blocking traffic and has coverage issues, there is only so much you can do to hide some many problem areas.

i just think its' gonna eventually wear on coaches, and at some point the team is either gonna place him on the trading block ..or cut him per cap casualty.
That surprising pro bowl vote he got in '19,.. that's typical Cowboys popularity by name on the back of the jersey and how many NFC linebacks
that injured to be forced to go elsewhere ..

WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON!!!!!!!!!
I bet that's what got Ben Bloom in hot water last season, I suspect he tried to bench #54 but was overruled.
