Twitter: MMQB and Archer: Cowboys using Jaylon more as a pass rusher

[Hawkeye0202]

Think Walker mentioned this also.........wonder if we'll see more of this or they're experimenting

Interesting, but this will bear watching. 95% to 65% is a big drop.

And with this organization, it would not surprise me if Smith is hurt and trying to labor through something and they are selling it as a usage thing.

I like the idea ...... Wish we could get some interior guys to make this unnecessary

I've always envisioned Jaylon as a blitzer, but more so off the edge vs blitz blocking RBs, he was a nightmare at that at Notre Dame, . but as a blitzer coming thru the middle, I don't
quite see his impact. Most times he simply gets stone-walled and stopped in his track.

and if its about breaks and relief, Joe Thomas is going to be used to spell LVE at times too, I would think.

And Thomas is swift and instinctive enough in coverage to well handle himself.
in fact don't be surprised if he picks off a pass in the dropping lanes.(almost did so in preseason)

This was what I suggested a few years ago for Jaylon, saw him more as a strong-side linebacker with plus rush abilities.

The staff should always be tweaking its strategy looking for ways to become more proficient. Hopefully they will find something to help put the quarterback down or under duress. With the offense scoring a bit quicker these days the defense will need to find a way to get off the field, either by downs or turn over. Let's Go

i noticed jaylon on several blitzes but he does not seem to be getting through at all

not sure our blitzing scheme is any good

Yeah, it may be time for Rod to step down.

Keep Richard and send the Rod fishing.

i understand but i thought richard calls the plays

Once Rod is gone -Richard can get someone else to help out .

 

[Verdict]

I would bench Lee and play a different linebacker in his spot. Pretty much anyone.
