If he was a WR or a DE I'd agree completely. But he is a LBer. There is a certain amount of playing a LBer can kind of do without really "being ready." You can put a guy like Jaylon out on basically every special teams unit because of his size, speed and tackling ability. Doesn't really take much prep work to do those things. And then you can slowly work him into the defense from a reserve role.Similar to Tapper, I'm not sure what a rookie with little to no practice time in the pros up to that point could be expected to contribute.
I'd rather they shut him down for the season and focus on getting him ready for the off-season programs.
This name always draws a laugh reminding me of Julius Jones.Similar to Tapper
It would be nice to get him out on the field for 2 or 3 games, on limited snaps just to see what he can do.If he was a WR or a DE I'd agree completely. But he is a LBer.

Of course what you have to ask yourself is if those contributions are worth carrying him on the roster for a few weeks while he is still injured. I think week 10 is when you have to make a decision on IR or use a roster spot on him. If he isn't ready until week 13 that means you have to waste a roster spot for 3 games with zero contribution. Right now I think Jaylon's talent is enough to make it worth those 3 games but I'm still on the fence if he isn't going to be healthy until week 13.
Yeah and that's why I'm on the fence. I have no idea what types of injuries could hit and if we can afford to keep him as an injured player for a few weeks.It would be nice to get him out on the field for 2 or 3 games, on limited snaps just to see what he can do.
But the roster spot might be a situation we can't afford to give up especially that late in the season.
Well said actually, especially when you have a team that basically plays in a dome and a couple of years ago literally quit in Chicago because they were cold.
Well, no shit.
Boy, that makes me wish we traded for DeMarco and drafted that stud Ramsey. We'd be undefeated.
Week 1 against Green Bay -- allowed 3 of 4 for 25 yards.Boy, that makes me wish we traded for DeMarco and drafted that stud Ramsey. We'd be undefeated.
That's odd because I remember a play against the Packers where he got torched for a long pass play. I wonder how they calculate "whose fault" it is.Week 1 against Green Bay -- allowed 3 of 4 for 25 yards.
Week 2 against San Diego -- allowed 3 of 5 for 25 yards
Week 3 against Baltimore -- allowed 4 of 6 for 13 yards
Ramsey played all but three snaps in those games, against Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers and Joe Flacco, who threw 34, 25 and 40 passes, respectively. He allowed 10 catches on 15 attempts (a "burn rate" of 66.7%) -- but only 6.3 yards per catch, 4.2 yards per attempt, 21.0 yards per game and less than 0.65 yards per opponent pass attempt. All of those numbers are very, very good
Wow. Kid seems to really have his priorities well adjusted.
He is just so even keeled. The guy is coming off the biggest win of his career. Any other man would be cashing in and popping bottles in the club. This dude wants to go visit his grandma.
This plus skipping the Kanye concert leaves me believing we will have no issues off the field with this kid.Wow. Kid seems to really have his priorities well adjusted.
Hopefully he's learned his lesson from his DUI.This plus skipping the Kanye concert leaves me believing we will have no issues off the field with this kid.
Most might not see it as a big deal, and it's certainly not a requirement to be a good QB but it is refreshing to see how grounded this guy is.
Yeah I am waiting for reports of them digging up his backyard in Starksville.Most might not see it as a big deal, and it's certainly not a requirement to be a good QB but it is refreshing to see how grounded this guy is.
Still feel like he's gonna peel the mask back and really be the devil or some shit.
Dunbar holding on to a roster spot is of the utmost teh ludicre.
