Week 3: What is Jaylon Doing?

Yea, that was a bad read/don't know why he went to the outside. Guess he saw the pulling OL and wanted nothing to do with him.

This wasnt his finest moment, but he did a good job spying Hurts and getting sideline to sideline all game.

He did ok.
On that play, he probably guessed that the rb was going to bounce it outside by taking on the block, freeing the lineman for the tackle.

In other words, I kinda blame Bohana. for allowing the guard push him to the point that space was created.

This wasn’t a cherry pick This was literally every other play.

 

[DanTanna]

Jaylon's running form looks really really bad. His foot is definitely bothering him.

 

[aikemirv]

Yeah somebody in the game thread told me I had to question LVE on this play too. That's Crazy, LVE filled the one hole, Jaylon needed to fill the other.

 

[ZekeTrain]

It boggles the mind how he is even playing. There is no way any of the young guys at the position could play any worse.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Avoiding contact like usual.

It has to be driving the coaches crazy to have to play this poser.

 

[J_Allen]

That's him every game. I think he has it in his head that he can't make a tackle unless it's an 8 or 9 yard gain. I haven't seen one behind the line of scrimmage from him.

was going to point out the same, Dallas was able to contain Hurts for much of the night and Jaylon was a big part of doing that. I'm not going to justify a bad play that is on the clip but I will also not dismiss the overall play which was good. This place is strange, once a player is in the dog house people will not let up and will even go as far as ignoring good play.

Yes Jaylon is ok when he doesn’t have to think and can just run in a straight line.

 

[CowboysRule]

Jaylon seems to be good when going horizontally to make a tackle, such as toward the sideline. But when it is a head to head, straight at each other kind of play, he seems to avoid the contact whenever possible, instead running into a blocker and taking himself out of the play. Business decisions? From a LBer?

Thinking is not his forte.

That's him every game. I think he has it in his head that he can't make a tackle unless it's an 8 or 9 yard gain. I haven't seen one behind the line of scrimmage from him.

I would bring him in on third down if I wanted to blitz. That's it. He's always there to do his little, "scoop, there it is" gesture but it's pretty rare.

Now number 11, he's a player baby.

 

[USArmyVet]

Seems at times he tries to avoid direct contact.

Cherry pick? The dude is lost and can’t get to any spot on the field. He’s by far the weakest link on this defense.

 

[dfense]

He actually waits for the guard to come block him instead of filling the hole. His instincts are off the chart.

I heard Emmitt Smith had a play where he got negative yards too and made it to the HOF.
