I know @FuzzyLumpkins took a lot of lumps over this, but the man did his homework and was pretty spot on!

Only I did post about it and just congratulated Dr Cooper. I'm happy to be eating crow about this but I admitted that last season when Jaylon was able to play so much.

If this kid has full motion back then we have ourselves a unreal LB. just needs more game action. If LVE translates and Lee is healthy the we will have the best LB corps in the NFL. Couple that with a DE rotation and wow. We no longer need to have a great safety. Wonder if that’s why we weren’t worried about getting Thomas.

That is excellent news. Used more in nickel on third downs and in a different roll. I can see Jaylon flying up the field for a sack or 3!!

i just think its funny the herd that decided to take the anti stance at least in part because they hated me.

He's been getting the flexion back for some time. Nerve reinnervation can be a long drawn out process. The take away here is that he no longer needs to the brace to train.
Currently they are running and cutting under load out on the practice field sans the AFO. The peroneal is not used to push off it is used to position the foot so your calves and such can push off. Also not having a piece of hard plastic cupping his foot and calf alone is going to help his fluidity.

Hopefully, Jaylon will be able to strike back against the league. It'd be great if he can turn out to be a terrific LBer along with LVE. That'd give us a nice set up of LBers to go along with, imo, an improved dline.

Thanks.
Twitter links don't display for me anymore. Just says "webpage not available." I rely on quotes of the tweet like yours, to gather info, on what it's about.

He didn't play well in a bunch of games in the first 2/3rds of the season. Our team was bleeding yards when he was on without Lee next to him. He was about as bad as a player as I've ever seen play in the nfl. But he started turning it around in December and hopefully this leads to him being more confident in his foot and less hesitant to plant it

I read the quote and he did not say "I'm getting the flexion back."
The quote was "Getting that flexion back is going to help tremendously ... speed, quickness, explosiveness,"
He's describing what he has gained. Using a little critical thinking and realizing that he requires flexion to not need the brace to support his foot.
