Yeah, no doubt about it. My gosh, they can say all they want but the guy isn't running very fluid. Then again, it's just a walk through and maybe he didn't have his brace on. Who knows.
interesting how only one person at camp tweeted about a so called limp and even he was not sure. Yet several here looking at video claim he was. Put me down for believing the people seeing it live and in color.

I know I may be in the minority, but I don't think Jaylon looks good in those clips. A definite hitch in his giddyup. Not saying he's not going to be good or healthy, but he still doesn't look healthy. Lots of hype.

You are completely in the minority. Jaylon definately looks like a 1st round pick in those clips. Very fast!

1. It’s only Day 1 and pads weren’t on, but linebacker Jaylon Smith impressed. He went through drills and looked good throughout the day. The Cowboys are taking a cautious approach with him early, but there’s no question he stands out on a football field.

As Dez Bryant said, “The dude is a freak of nature. He looks like a damn action figure out there.”


2. The left guard position is an open competition with Chaz Green and Jonathan Cooper the two leading candidates. Green and Cooper switched reps with the first team, and that appears to be among the most important battles on the offensive side.

I get that we should root for him.

But this collective speak about how he looked amazing today is a little disturbing.

Yes, I know it lacks perspective, but the movements he performed looked labored.
This is what I'm seeing as well. Don't get me wrong, I hope all of the optimism is justified, but from what I've seen of his movement and mechanics, I see a guy that will has a slight limp and a hitch in his movement.

It makes me wonder if the "impressive" aspect is in reality the media comparing Jaylon of today with Jaylon of last season. In that regard, I am sure he looks much better, but just because he's improved does not mean he's back just yet.

Nate Newton said something similar on the radio but he also said he's not too worried about Jaylon...if he works out fine, if not then next guy. Something to that effect around 8:00 Monday night

Can you point to which clips show this?

Ok, maybe it's just because I don't have my glasses on. But I see zero limp in the Jaylon video.

Is everyone trolling or am I missing something?
There's one video during walk through where there appears to be a limp but not really. All the other videos though he's not limping at all

Nick Eastman, Dave Helman are at camp and watching him live. They both said he has noticeable limp or hitch to his gate.

He's recovering from nerve damage, it should be totally expected.

Acting like he should be 100% at this point is ridiculous.

Agreed 100%. Check this out. Everyone who commented on it saw the limp. Let's not put all this pressure on him. He's trying to get healed up and 100%. No knock on Jaylon




This article pretty much sums it up
