Jaylon Smith thread *merged*

[coult44]

These last two weeks especially last week he looked like the weakest link, he's slow to recognize, can't shed blocks and certainly can't cover. This coaching staff is terrible if he's in the starting line up next week. I wonder what his pff grade will be it has to be above 29's last week lol. W

Jerry and SJ will not allow their project to be benched.

 

[Bullflop]

I won't argue that we could use another LB or two but sorry, I have no agenda to replace Jaylon. I'll leave it up to the staff to do as they see fit.

 

[IlliniNation]

Not sure who replaces him at this point. I too thought Thomas made some nice plays today from the LB spot.

 

[baltcowboy]

Between Sean Lee and LVE we should have no problems putting Smith on the bench!

Really? The glass boys.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

I thought he had a decent game. Regardless- he's the best LB we've got right now.

 

[Jack Burton]

Loool, whut?

Double Loool, whut?

 

[cern]

I thought he played well.

i thought he played well, too. made some good calls. made tackles. made some good coverage against the te.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Really? The glass boys.

It was a joke!

 

[sideon]

Between Sean Lee and LVE we should have no problems putting Smith on the bench!

Is that sarcasm? Because both guys are injury prone and one is past his prime.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Is that sarcasm? Because both guys are injury prone and one is past his prime.

I thought it was obvious since both are on IR, but yes it is extreme sarcasm

 

[Jarv]

His lack of hustle in pursuit is horrendous

 

[GMO415]

With LVE and Lee out? Absurd

 

[Clove]

Thomas looks like the best LB.

 

[Eanwen]

LVE ain’t any great shakes himself. He wasn’t exactly tearing things up.

How we went from 2018 LB play to this. Amazing.

Think they were exposed by the Rams and Colts that year, so everyone knows how to attack them?

 

[fivetwos]

He played WAY better today.

I only actually sort of cant stand him right now.

 

[Irse]

Really? The glass boys.

Exactly, they can't even stay on the field.

 

[Loso86]

He clearly needs to be converted into an OLB in this 3-4 version defense. He needs to rush the QB honestly

 

[Ranching]

I thought he played well.

Yep! People that don't know much tend to overreact with a couple of bad plays. Like he's the only one to take a bad angle or miss a tackle.

 

[Sydla]

Its not fair to bench 54 without benching the rest of the defense

they all were bad

He's become the punching bag for a bad defense. That's not to excuse him because he's not been good, but he's not the only one that has stunk this year.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Thought it was awesome how after he gave up that critical first down to Hurst how he started loading pursuit.

He’s every coaches dream.
