this is what I see as well.  some guys are very good at avoiding the big squared-up hits.  they turn their bodies at the last second, or they juke slightly or whatever, and its hard to square up on them.  Jaybo doesnt seem to be one of these guys.

That's a point I'll disagree on. I've seen Jaybo in several practices do a great job avoiding hits AND taking a pounding and jump right up like it was nothing.

I was there when the collarbone was broken and it was a flukish play where a lineman fell on him, wasn't even within contact of a play. It happens, ask Colt McCoy.

He's may not be Nesbitt tough but not many are.

Hey now...I didn't start it!  But I will dang sure end it!

Jaybo ain't the future.  End of discussion. ;)

Yes, it was practice. The same place Nesbitt's been hurt before. I've seen MJ, Sedric Griffin and the Gladiator clean his clock multiple times.

I could get my clock cleaned by all the above and still get up too, that doesn't qualify me for anything.

Not sure what you guys see out there that some of us don't.  Cuz I just don't see "it".

Ooooh, a Jaybo discussion! Fun!!

He's slippery, has some open-field speed but lacks quickness.
He does play smaller than his size, good description.

Makes some bad decisions in the option game; perhaps this is just a function of his forcing things when he's thrown into the mix.

I hate racial stereotyping and I don't think he cleanly fits into one.
The guy is NOT Drew Brees, he is not a "gritty" player, he is not a slow white boy who makes all the right decisions but lacks the natural athleticism to capitalize, etc.

He can get some good yardage when he keeps the ball. He can make people miss, he runs well enough in the open field (I don't think his natural footspeed is that much different than Josh's). But he's just so skinny, seems to keep the ball too often, and doesn't run hard very naturally.


There, got my Jaybo opinion out, not touching it again!

Fair analysis. ;)

everybody on this forum knows that when Jaybo came in against UGA both in 2008 and 2009 they all held their breath expecting a bone-jarring, fumble-creating hit on each and every play.
