The Jaylon Smith and Randy Gregory Era begins tomorrow

Only took 3 and 4 years to begin. Not bad! Gambling Jerry may get some dividends on old investments.

Not dividends. He's looking at tripling his draft value investment in exchange for a little patience.

That's an advantage we have. Most GMs have to maximize value each year for job security. Our GM can maximize value over the future of the franchise.

Didn't Jaylon Smith start games last season...

He did, but he wasn't fully functional yet. Much closer now.

yep. 8-10 years .

The post-Bailey era will be known as 'The Agony of D-foot".

 

[buybuydandavis]

Smith I believe in.

Gregory needs to prove it.

D. Law is our guy.

Gregory needs to prove he can stay in the league. The talent isn't guaranteed, but Lawrence's isn't either. 4 sacks the second half of last year.

Ah years into their nfl career and still talking about “draft talent”

I don’t trust Gregory and I don’t think Jaylon will get a fair shake at will or mike position with lee and LVE being here

Jaylon if the starting MLB and Gregory is the starting RE..... What are you even talking about. No way Leighton is starting our playing ahead of Jaylon. That's just foolish to say

Lee will be lucky to hold up for 16 games and LVE is nobody to be worried about at this juncture, lets be real. Jaylon might be the best player on defense this year, thats including the guys on the d-line

I look forward to the post sack celebrations. Preteen girls are gonna lose their ****.

 

[exciter]

Are you guys all purposely setting yourselves up for as much disappointment as possible? Dominate the NFL is way overboard right now

Right, Gregory is a lot closer to a bad game leading to depression, leading to a puff, leading to a lifetime ban at this point!

Addicts don't really need a reason. Everything's a reason. He has a bad game, he's at risk with those lows. He has a good game, he's at risk with those highs. He keeps busy, he's at risk from the stress. He has a light work schedule, he's at risk from that boredom.

I hope he's gotten into some kind of program (to figure out how to dissect his problem and put the tools in his toolbox to enable him to work on it) and made up his mind to put all that behind him. I mean, with him almost throwing away a lucrative career and jeopardizing his ability to provide for his family, maybe he hit his bottom and finally turned a corner. But, realistically, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he's busted and suspended again before Irving returns from his suspension in October.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Hopefully the same for Byron.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

In, maximum, two years - people will be talking about Jaylon the same way they're talking about Kuechly and Wagner.

He's a generational talent and a great story.

 

[CowboyRoy]

They are going to dominate the NFL.

These guys need to be pro bowl players by the end of this year to make those picks worth it.

Ya dlaw still has to prove more

 

[DiResta]

I'm more excited about the lb group than any other but
don't think there won't be bad plays
it's never perfect

having said that, results of the Notre Dame vs Michigan game

[Corso]

I think they need to be in the Pro Bowl by Game 3...

Otherwise LET'S BURN THIS MUTHA DOWN POOKIE!!! LET'S BURN IT DOWN!!! BURN IT!!!

 

[Hardline]

The jury is still out.

And if they were on any other team you would say that they would dominate.

 

[dsturgeon]

I think Irving might own the league by the end of the season.
