Not gonna make some insulting comment about if you actually watch the games....which is all too common around here. I know you watch the games.
Let's say this....I've spent many games watching only him on defense...and many a replay doing the same.
I wish I had a dollar for every time he would put his hand on the behind of a DLineman, follow him being moved backward, then chase down the ball carrier from behind....six to eight yards past the LOS.
He rarely if ever hits the correct hole. It looks as if he is guessing actually.
Tackles for losses just don't exist in his game.
I've said before I dont think effort is his problem, although I think he may have been as bad a scheme fit w Nolan as anyone.
I think he will get another shot to prove he can get his game back.
Of course I'm rooting for him, but its difficult to believe in someone who plays so lethargic....and he definitely looks timid when it comes to going to make a play vs watching it come to him.
Jaylon has led people off the deep end to silly town.
He was pretty bad this year as were all his defensive teammates at times.
Reality is Jaylon was probably your 2nd best defender in 2020 thus the poor defensive showing.
He made all those tackles without being great largely because the other 10 didn't.
It's like having mediocre rebounder get 10 rebounds in basketball.
He may not really be double digit rebounder but if you surround him with non-rebounders... there you go.
Wrong hole Jaylon... I have actually played a decent amount of football. It is nearly impossible to know what hole Jaylon has assigned on a given play because the defense is just confusing and mismashed.
See the bob Sturm break down on this with 4 actual defensive coaches.
They go deep into like 5-6 plays and are like man who knows what this defense is calling for.
Entering the year if you could build a role not to suit Jaylon it would have been what Nolan asked of him.
Want you to practice at Will and then we will switch you back to Mike and calling plays like week 3 because LVE is injured again.
We want you to read and react waiting and playing two holes.
What is actually true is that Jaylon is overpaid.
He's definitely limited in what he can do on the field.
He can attack holes going forward and he can man cover guys that don't change direction.
He will hit you hard and he will cause fumbles.
He will fill an area in a zone but can only come forward not side to side.
But we've got to please for the love of holy stop lying on this forum.
The Dallas Cowboys could not take Jaylon off the field last year for even small stretches because the other LB were so injured/bad and usually both.
And people want to grade Jaylon after he was assigned read and react duties behind the worst DT rotation in the NFL.
