This narrative that Jaylon could rush the passer needs to die.
He’s much better at it than Aldon Smith. He’s fine running in one direction. His problem is lateral movement. I wouldn’t have signed him. I’m just stating what his best position is.
the best defensive lineup if we really are going to run a 3-4 would be:
OLB Lawrence- DE A Smith- NT? Don’t have - DT Hill- OLB J Smith/Gregory
LVE as one of the ILB’s and need another. This team is drooling over Zaven Collins ILB from Tusla(2nd round).
The secondary is the biggest mess. None of these DB’s want to tackle outside Wilson and Diggs, and they’re both out. Diggs and Wilson are both capable starters going into 2021. Other than that the entire secondary needs revamped. I never thought I’d say this but Dallas really needs to focus on obtaining DB’s that are willing to tackle. I have literally seen our secondary players run away from contact all season. Need two starting caliber CB’s , and another safety that’s willing to lay some wood.
PS Aldon Smith is not an OLB anymore. He doesn’t have the ability anymore and he’s 285. He’s a 5 technique now IMHO. He’s strong and able to hold up in his gap and make an occasional play. He can’t contain the edge well anymore.
