Smith to have limited role in rookie OTAs

[diefree666]

Agreed. But that's a big "IF" for someone who has nerve damage, drop foot, and is still wearing a brace.

I'm hoping for the best. Obviously. Just like everyone else.

But I'm just not willing to go much beyond that until I see something in a regular season game at game speed.

so therefore you will ignore everything positive in order to stay negative?

Rookies come in and hit the field this weekend for three days. They work in with the vets over time after that.

Vets have been working out on the field on their own since they came back over a week ago. They get that weekend off while the rookies do their thing.

Jaylon has been working out on the field and in the weight room with the vets. He will not get the weekend off with them and will work with the rookies up through the walkthrough.

"Dialing back" is a relative notion. He will still be doing more than both the rookies and the vets overall. They just want him to get acclimated with the coach's "process."

The coaches in that practice do their best to run the rookies ragged; it's harder than any other practice they see. The idea is to see where their limits are and to set expectations. Jaylon does not need that as he has been with the team for over a year now and has been training nonstop. Putting him through that when the vets are scheduled rest does not make a lot of sense.

They are allowing him to push himself but putting limits on how much.

It's prudent not to push it with Smith. Let it happen naturally.

That's why I said Hitchens starts week 1 but people somehow think that's a joke. Okkkkkkkkkkk

No

His nerve is not responding.

Its time to abandon fort and become Patriots fans

We are doomed! Doomed I tell you!

Obviously the team is going to take their time with Jaylon, I hope the rookie camp isn't hardcore for any players. We got to work these guys in shape.

Even more so for Jaylon.

Isn't rookie camp just time to teach them who Dallas doesn't like?

 

[Bullflop]

It appears quite obvious that the staff is going to monitor Jaylon's reps very closely to make sure he doesn't jeopardize his well being. What I'm wondering is what he'll be allowed to do and what he'll be capable of once the regular season gets underway. I'm sure we're all anxious to see.
