Felt so bad for him when he tore his knee up in the bowl game. I just don't know how you can listen to that interview and not want this kid to be successful, not just here but in life. Plus, we finally have a single digit guy playing defense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we finally have a single digit guy playing defense. Dislike the single digit, loved his interview. He seems like a positive but intense guy, which was basically Rodgers’ take on him when describing Jaylon as a competitor. I really hope he finds his niche here because he’s played at an elite level in every stage of his football life. How amazing would it be to see him recapture that with this defense? I’m hoping for greatness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor in Rivers going down and maybe it has to be if it isn't.

If he can rush the passer that is a big bonus. Just happens to be a position(s) of need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIS previously: this is a great short-term investment/risk. We're going to be forced to address the EDGE in the next draft with contract situations and now Z's long-term health at serious risk. Gary is panning out fortunately so we need that second guy not named Preston Smith(because we don't know what his contract situation looks like) to emerge immediately next season. Unless Rodgers gets dealt to a team with a relatively high first round pick, we're most likely going to have to trade up to find that guy in this particular draft. If Jaylon can be productive AND be back on a reasonable contract next year as a bit of a bonus pass rusher, that becomes an immense help both now and down the road.

Jaylon demands to be traded after watching today's game It is perfectly OK to win a few games ugly in the NFL. Crosby will never have another game like this one. Bad teams lose games like this, see Lions, Detroit. We are going to start getting guys back over the next few weeks too: Jenkins, Myers, MVS. Bak is probably three weeks away from coming back. I can't imagine what this offense is going to look like with those four guys back and playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refugee Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Jaylon debuted for us today. Did not show much to my eyes outside of decent motor. Never got through in pass rush and was seen doing what some DAL fans were critical of him doing, jumping into a pile long after tackle was made. He’s got time to show up and learn his spot on defense. I hope he picks it up and we can turn him loose in the second half. I believe he could turn it on once he understands the D and his role in it.

I saw him get fakes out of his shoes along the sidelines. Other than that I didn't notice him. Hopefully better days lay ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
