Jaylon Smith's grade

[Hawkeye0202]

I'm going with a C...... but here's the question. This was probably one of his better games since god knows how long but WHY?????

• scheme
• different position
• Parson effect

BTW....raise your hand if you STILL think we should cut him immediately

Makes no sense to cut him considering the financial commitment, but I have to believe an exit plan is in the works after this season.

Tell you the truth, rather give Cox the opportunity.

No question he's probably gone after the season

Ok.......but what about Jaylon???? stay, go, stay and play what 25-30% snaps????????

 

[Hadenough]

Part time player is maybe learning while watching. Possible scheme fit him better too. The defense overall has looked better and I give Quinn the credit for bringing in a mix of players and using them to improve the defense.

He could either continue to improve or continue being a "C" defensive player. I'd say we'll need to see more to know more!

I have seen enough of Jaylon, rather him off the team.

 

[Hawkeye19]

He is a liability when on the field. He gets exposed in coverage, and he is slow on diagnosing plays and not aggressive enough filling his gap, shedding blocks, or physical enough at the point of attack.

 

[CATCH17]

I’m going with.. When will we see Jabril Cox..?

That sounds like an honest and probably a sound idea of what's likely to happen. We'll just see if Jerry thinks so, also.

It's more like a 2022 idea, where Jaylon isn't going anywhere this season.

I like the way you think -- it'd be highly illogical to disagree with that. We'll see!
I'm sure the FO will consider it and the monetary probabilities carefully!

It might eventually dawn on them that many $$ will be saved by his being cut!

 

[John813]

I dunno, I've been down on him and LVE, but I thought both looked better than week 1.

Can't say either are back to core guys but I thought both made some good plays here and there.

The team would be better off getting Jabril Cox more involved to take over for Smith but I worry JJ & Co. are trying to save face after the BS contract they gave Smith.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Actually looks like an old pic of you! LOL

 

[Kingofholland]

I thought he had an overall better game and hustled around to the ball carrier taking much better angles. If he played like this every week the only thing we qould be talking about is wanting more splash plays.

 

[J-man]

IMHO, it was his best game in quite awhile and he got a C grade. That tells me all I need to know about his future on this team.

Yep, there's that to consider but it's also likely to occur to them that the monetary hit just ain't worth it.
They do like their guys and all but do they possibly like their millions even more? Stay tuned . . .
