Not one Jaylon Smith thread on the main page

[GORICO]

As expected, this guy is quietly going about incorporating his skill into the defense (as planned...... ) when he was drafted last offseason. It seems like just yesterday that so many of us indicated he would never see the field and found every expletive to call our scouting team for taking him as a red shirt.


WELP.......


The guy is quietly getting up to speed on the field and in game action. It's such a beautiful thing to behold. He may not be making a huge difference yet but, in essence, this is his second game of his rookie campaign. Just you wait.. I give it until mid season and some special things are going to start happening.


Can you hear it? That's the sound of the J Train chugging along quietly through your yard.

Wooooooooo woooooooooooooo!

plus he leads cowboys in tackles so far...that has to be good

Hey bro. What's up w PFF. I know the NFL uses and promotes them. Are they BS? I've always been curious about them

I don't think the NFL promotes them. Cris Collinsworth invested in them and now NBC uses the PFF ratings in their Sunday Night broadcast, largely because of the Collinsworth connection.

I guess they can be somewhat useful at times. But they often come up with squirrelly ratings and rankings to the point that while they have a cult following a lot of people take them with a large grain of salt. They are fairly secretive about their methodologies behind their ratings which makes people question them.

He was not that good on Sunday, but neither was anyone else on defense, besides DLaw and Paea.

Paea looks like a slow dwarf

You are right. We have to give him 8 to 9 games before we can expect anything from him.

I love his mentallity and i love the way he came back from the injury. But right now he looks more like a background actor.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I bet you thought Albert Haynesworth was all that and a bag of chips. We see you get fooled by the contract year.

You really believe those are the same situations?

Smh

 

[diefree666]

The fact that he led the team in tackles instead of Sean Lee tells you how bad a game Lee had. Dlaw was about the only D player that really played well and even he had that bad penalty.

Frankly this was a game that just is one of those that you throw the game tape away.

i ll let the facts do the educating.

I don't know about Jaylon.

He had a lot of tackles but he didn't look that good. I'm curious to see what happens when Hitchens returns.

 

[CF74]

He's in on a great deal of plays or should I say in position, just not physically able to make all said plays just yet. Kinda what I expected considering his injury and time to truly recover completely. Dude is way ahead of what I imagined so far.

 

[jazzcat22]

It was roundly agreed by all the analysts around town that Jaylon had a really rough game on Sunday. Sean Lee was basically playing his and Jaylon's position at the same time much of the day.

It'll get better. We'll see how much.

Most of the analyst around town are haters anyway. And they are not very good analyst to begin with....LOL....

I have seen people post that Paea and Mayowa played well. Completely opposite of what I saw. Mayowa was getting dominated and rarely if ever got close to the QB, playing against a rookie to start the game and then a backup for the rest. Collins and Paea were easily getting turned in the run game and neither were showing their explosive ability at collapsing the pocket that both are supposed to have.

Lee missed more tackles than I have ever seen him but at least he was in position. Smith was in on a lot of tackles but most were assists and most were well down the field. I thought he was ok considering his first year playing and still limited by injury. Byron Jones was really bad and Heath got beat by play action multiple times and also missed quite a few tackles.

Lawrence had a good game, Tapper was decent in limited time and Crawford made a little noise but that is about it. No one else on the D had anything close to a "good" game.

Week one Rhett Ellison, a tight end, was handling Mayowa easily one-on-one. I hope Moore takes as many reps as possible from Mayowa. I think Mayowa will probably be inactive once Irving is back. Hopefully, they move Crawford back inside and let him just focus at defensive tackle. I'm fine with Lawrence, Irving, Moore, Tapper/Taco as the defensive end rotation.

I bought into the Maliek Collins hype from the dc.com crew about his great training camp, but he has yet to truly show up consistently. Ron Leary is a tough assignment, though. I still think he'll take a step forward this year, but I expected him to be a fireplug inside from the jump.

He is playing ok
I don't expect to see what he really is till next season
It's miraculous he's out there but little camp, very long time away from the game and the huge step up in competition
Anyone expecting a pro bowl type year after what he's been through is not realistic
So far, so good to me

 

[Sydla]

He's not better than Hitchens

LOL.

I swear there must be another Hitchens out there that I am not aware of.

Wut?

 

[IheartRomo]

That tackle number is certainly deceiving since 80-90% occurred 5+ yards downfield, although you could say that about just about every player on our D when the Broncos ripped off big chunks of yardage on nearly every play.

There really is nothing more to do than sit back and let him learn his position, learn the speed of the NFL game, and learn to be comfortable playing in the condition his leg is in. If anyone has ever deserved the benefit of the doubt for a full season, it's him.

Real evaluation of the realized valuation (or lack thereof) of the pick should begin next year with strides being made this year as nothing more than gravy.

I think we'll know a lot about him before this season is over.

He's not good yet. Hopefully, soon, he will be better than good.

NFL, ESPN, NBC, CBS, FOX and multiple NFL teams. They're not secretive AT ALL. Every stat and grade is explained in plain English--you just have to be read it.

sorry we are seeing the best he will ever be

It's subjective grading and nobody knows the qualifications of the people doing the grading.

I'm fairly certain they use fan/blogger type people to do the grading. I think someone that posts here is one of them.

The results have been proven to be garbage.

Any poster that defends them probably works for them.
