One positive tonight. Kid showed some flashes today. Props to him after a ton of criticism. Definitely plays better on a limited snap.

He played really well in the first half playing limited snaps, as most of us have been screaming for all season.
He was definitely in over his head as an every down LB when Hitchens went out in the second half, but it's promising that the flashes were finally there. He needs to be slowly brought along in spot snaps and it's a shame these injuries are forcing him on the field more.
Overall, a nice showing in the more manageable role!

You can also see the bias against him in the game thread. On Ajayi's long run, people started jumping on Smith but in reality, Hitchens was just as bad on that play as well.
Smith played decently tonight. All you can ask for at this point.
It seemed like he played some WILL tonight, which IMO, is his best position.

Thought I was going crazy when I saw him looking decent tonight. Good for him

Just because he was able to find the correct hole and make a couple of tackles does not mean he played great

I thought this was by far Jaylon best game of his career.

If you are objective he actually showed athleticism and some ability to change direction tonight. Maybe he is starting to get more mobility.

Just listen to what you're saying
Is that what passes for great play from a second year top of round 2 LB who was supposed to be a difference maker?
This guy is a liability right now and is in the field only because of the incompetence and ego of our stupid FO

Yep you can't hate on him. He's trying the best he can. This front office was so desperate to justify their pick that they threw him on the field before he was really ready. Just a terrible organization.

Sure
Your defense of Jerry and Jason over the years despite their proven and obvious incompetence tells me not to trust your judgement

Not tonight. He made athletic plays. Splash plays that indicate he may be starting to get back together physically. And yes that's good and positive and bodes potentially well for the future.
