Jaylon Smith

Zero tackles, one assist. Can’t remember hearing his name or seeing him make a play.
 
since the Seattle offense did not do much what does it matter?

we will see next training camp as regards how he is.

The D did more than good enough last night to hold up its end. So why are you harping on Jaylon? Are you a Red Ball homer? Dak homer? Jerry Homer?
 
He was ok when he was in there. He will be starting next week. Big off season for him. Important for the team for him to work out.
 
Will see how he does next year. Not holding this season against him. You seen the coaching staff he has. So don't be too hard on him yet.
He was basically a rookie coming off a devastating injury. Give him consideration of another year.
 
Still struggles against the run. It's a different scheme for him in the run game because he is responsible for taking on blockers and letting Lee flow to the ball freely. He's much more aggressive than he was earlier in the year, but just running into the blocker isn't enough. Would help if our DT's were a threat and Collins could maintain gap control once before his career ends. Still looking pretty good in coverage. Doesn't get fooled like he did because he understands route concepts so much better. Eye discipline vastly better.

I personally have no expectations that Jaylon Smith will ever become the player we need him to become.

He should have been a late round pick. Certainly not a 2nd. And not a Dallas Cowboys draft pick. We could have drafted a much better injury-free player. But it’s not what they do. Especially in that round.

Fair. Love your breakdown. I made this thread sarcastically but you made it legit.

I read a article early in the season that Jaylon will better next year because he can use the off season to prepare for football and not his knee injury. He looks the part, hopefully he gets better.

I thought he barely played yesterday. Looks like they used Wilson at SLB and barely rotated Jaylon in for Hichens/Lee. Can't imagine he had more than 15 snaps.
 
It doesnt matter...he’s a bust. A 2nd round pick that high should be a solid contributor by now...

I for one will not put much stock in training camp, other than his lateral movement. We all heard that Byron Jones had the best camp of everyone, and outside of good coverage as a CB we dont have a new Darren Woodson, Brock Marion, or James Washington. Woody the best but
the other two played key roles for us , especially Washington who came up big in Buffalo SB....
