I'm not all that high on him, honestly. He's good, but just a guy imo.

He's made fewer notable plays than every other starter, primary rotation guy, on the defense.

His tackles stat is likely highly inflated due to his habit of diving on the pile late, which drives me insane and he does it a LOT. He nearly cost us 15 yards last week, except he actually missed his target. One of my biggest complaints about him was just made significantly more relevant, and that's that he tends to tackle/dive at people w/ his head down. Not only does this cause him to miss tackles, we all saw what happened in Pittsburgh.

I agree w/ the above that he's definitely the weakest link on our D. Granted... our D is so disgustingly stacked that a Good player can still be the worst one on the field.

Ultimately, he's fine. Not looking to bench/cut him, he's just the least impressive member of our defense (of players who start/rotate).

I can agree with most of this, however, he's a very young player and is developing in the offense just fine. He's still feeling his way and figuring things out, but with that sheer speed, incredible agility and overall athleticism, I feel like in a year or two he'll start getting noticed as one of the best. He's aready one of the better coverage LBs the Jaguars have ever had. Akin Ayodele, for instance, was a great tackler who you could rely on to be in his gap, but he blew in coverage compared to Myles Jack.
