Poz who?
And to think some of y’all were panicking when he retired. Jack may not ever be the run stuffer Poz was but he makes up for it in so many more ways.

Yes and if extend it to the last 4 games, even if the Buffalo game didn't have a direct takeover by Myles he wasn't bad either: 6 tackles, 1 sack (very important in the 4th quarter) and the great pass break-up with deflection up in the air that provided Colvin's interception.
Great stuff.
I wanted to draft him in the first but understood talking ramsey when he was still on the board. When we were able to snag him in the second it immediately became my favorite draft ever. If him, jalen, and yannick stay on their current career arcs, could this end up being the best draft by one team in the modern era?
Nice comment in USA Today's power rankings:
"They can get lost in defensive picture, but Myles Jack and Telvin Smith seem ready to make argument they're league's top linebacking duo."
He has the potential to be another Luke Kuechly type at the position. Great instincts. Tremendous range. Just needs to shore up on his tackling a bit more and he'll be set for years to come. He's definitely a guy I hope to see in Jacksonville for the next ten years.
He's in year 3 which is when most NFL players start to realize their full potential.
Definitely excited for him and glad he's on our team.

Agreed, I think he is the new breed of LB like Telvin who now has more finesse/speed than power/strength. Not saying they are weak, but I think power isn't their biggest attribute. These guys stretch the field and make our lb's who drop into zone coverage against te's and Rb's less of a liability and more of a strength.

I think Jack packs a nice punch when he's able to get away cleanly from a blocker. He's nearly 250 pounds. There's plenty of power to him with speed. Smith fits that bill perfectly though. He's certainly using his speed to bob and weave would be blockers instead of engaging them head on.
