Quote:Was also at least one play I saw where he was covering the TE and was absolutely blanketing him down the field.
Kid is good. Really good. I can't wait to see him on the field as a full time player.
And then when our safety has that responsibility, he bites on the play action and it is 6 points Vikings.
Quote:I didn't say he was a bust, just that I wonder if he might be. It's not out of the realm of possibility, considering how good Caldwell is at picking trash in the early rounds.
Perhaps, but if that's so, what are the odds this coaching staff has recognized that? Long, I say. In fact, if he is a terrible player, I'm quite certain Gussy would have him on the field for every play.
Quote:Myles Jack is a luxury that should only be on the field a maximum of 8-12 snaps.
Quote:I was just looking that up as well: Skuta on the other hand had 23 snaps. (and it's been like this all season)
I'm out of words for this staff.
Myles Jack is our version of Jimmy Garropolo (a luxury). Unfortunately, Skuta is our equivalent to Tom Brady.
Quote:And then when our safety has that responsibility, he bites on the play action and it is 6 points Vikings.
Exactly.
I honestly think that was the biggest mistake we made with Jack. We should have put him at SS from the start. He's got all the skills for it, and SS needed and still needs an upgrade in a bad way.
Given our Coach's desire to run that Seattle Defense... I really thought he was a shoe in for SS.
Instead, Pullard keeps seeing the field instead of Jack.
I can't wrap my head around that one.
He should take cyp spot at ss
Quote:Lol, Jack makes a good play getting a pass break up in the end zone and then is benched lol.
Yep that was some of the best pass coverage by one of our LBs in years
At least he'll be healthy for next season
Jack not playing is probably better for his development than playing under Gus tutelage and destroying his confidence.
Quote:Hahaha
I don't know why but this made me laugh.
Why do we need a new thread that continues to show the coaches incompetence?
Because they keep showing it in such inventive ways?
Quote:Good thing players can't choose to be drafted again if they don't like the team that took them after the first year.
Oh my God +1,000,000!
Gus stated the Vikings went with a heavier personnel so that favored Skuta being in the game more.
14 wins and 47 losses makes more sense every time Gus speaks.
Skuta is a special teams player on almost every team in the league.. He should stick with that.
Jack will be a very good starter in this league.
He's athletic enough...can hit...can cover....
Could he take Cyp's spot at SS?
Quote:He's athletic enough...can hit...can cover....

He could and he even also played safety in college (he was moved all around the defense).
During draft season earlier this year he gave an interview in which he talked about the possibility of being drafted by the Chargers and he said they told him they envisioned him like kind of a DB guy, they wanted him to play safety either instead of Weddle or as an in the box safety.
I guess we'll see what the new coaching stuff thinks of him, but this guy has to be on the field, to talented to warm the bench or have Skuta playing more than him.
Is anyone really surprised by this? Not with this coaching staff. The team has looked like this for almost a decade now. That's insane.
Quote:Don't worry. The new coaches will know how to use him.
We have to worry until the team gets new coaches.
Seeing Myles run down Lamar Miller earlier this year should have been all they needed to see to know they must find a way to get him on the field.
Miller ran a 4.4 flat at the combine and Jack out weighs him by 20-30ish pounds, yet he easily ran him down, even though Miller had a full head of steam.
How you don't find a way to get that kind of speed and ability on the field is just completely mind boggling. But instead, he just keeps getting less and less snaps each week.
And yesterday Myles Jack played 8 (yes, eight) snaps. Skuta played 31 snaps.
Hopefully this situation ends with the new coaching staff next season.

East Coast version of Seattle South !!!
