So, it’s a weight thing, zn?
Not an effort, study, practice, desire thing?
Don’t you imagine that the Ram coaches would have been able to determine if it was just a weight thing and counseled JFM to lose the excess? And made appropriate allowances at cutdown time? Would seem to be coaching 101 to me.
Nope, JFM just got outplayed this preseason and presumably in practices and meetings he also fell behind. Occam’s Razor.
Yes they could determine he got outplayed at his new weight by Smart and Fox and the effort to turn a hybrid 4/3 DE slash 3/4 OLB into a straight-up 3/4 DE didnt' work.
We don't have to make up stories smearing the player's work habits (based on nothing) to come up with that.
...
Who’s “smearing” work habits here? You’re always protesting about posters getting too personal in their replies and then turn around and do it yourself.
I’m just calling it like I see it. JFM looked very promising in ‘18 yet got clearly outplayed by 2 competitors in ‘19. Maybe he didn’t take this seriously enough, maybe he wasn’t really good enough, maybe Smart and Fox just sold out to make this 53 while JFM kinda coasted, maybe he ran over coach Henny’s dog, I dunno.
This topic might be a candidate to be the 563rd on which we agree to disagree. Lol.
