Hoping for the best, expecting a heavy dose of reasons why he can't do somethings in training camp. Jaylon will not give up it is not in his make up. On to the next drama for TC 2017. Noah Brown vs Brice Butler, Switzer vs Beasley, Witten vs Rico, Green vs Cooper, Nolan Carroll and OScan vs the rookies.

As far as Jaylon's recovery is concerned, he seems to be doing well. I fail to see why some here act as though they aren't pulling for him. In any event, he'll be tested much more thoroughly whenever TC, preseason and the regular season commence. Let's try to stay optimistic until then, unless you're intent upon being a subversive malcontent. We're all Cowboys fans, are we not? C'mon, man . . . ;)

We are all fans-- and I think everyone is hoping for the best-- there are just those that want to guard against a disappointment or letdown if Jaylon's bubble pops.

Call it a "not counting your chickens before they hatch" philosophy. At least that's my read on why some of the doubters may be tapping the breaks a bit.

I am 100% rooting for this kid. Hope he is everything we hope is!

Not an AFO? The manufacturer of the Richie Brace begs to differ.

From their site (www.richiebrace.com/index.php/products/the-richie-dynamic-assist-brace.html)

THE RICHIE DYNAMIC ASSIST BRACE

"A dorsiflexion-assist AFO for Dropfoot* Conditions"


DESCRIPTION:

The Richie Dynamic Assist Brace is a custom articulated ankle-foot-orthosis with two spring-like hinges, medial and lateral, to provide up to 15 degrees of dorsoflexion of the foot at the ankle joint during the swing phase of gait.

I guess you missed the part where it said his brace is a custom brace, not something that comes off the rack.

All I know is that my heart dropped just watching Jaylon's kids' camp video where he pretends to fall down when a kid runs by him. Thought his season was over right there.

you will notice that the ones that are negative are the ones that have been down on I'm since day one. They would rather he fail then they be proven wrong.

Every one of us on this board can flex our toes. None of us can shed NFL blocks. This isn't a package deal. If this is the bar we're setting, we're all in for a major disappointment when the pads come on.

Bar is higher no doubt for him and your right you don't have the strength or ability to shed blockers but he does. He has shown good speed and has been working upper body as well. Jaylon seems to have no doubts about his abilities nor do I

I continue to have my guarded optimism, this is a long recovery process and Jaylon has handled it with true determination and grit. I believe he will be on the field soon enough.

April was when he came out with the video of him going over hurdles without the tape job and lifting his foot.

Got a lot of hate for saying that he was lifting his foot. @Alexander likes to compare it to the JFK photos and @CalPolyTechnique heaped all kinds of hate that saw him go on vacation twice. There were plenty others.

They won't ever admit it but they know I was right and we know it so that is good enough for me.
