Tyrel Dodson getting more snaps than AJ Klein


Recommended Posts

When Milano went out, Tyrel came in and not AJ. AJ has been pretty invisible though he was the person burned on the Jason Witten TD. AJ is still listed as the starter but had only 8 snaps while Dodson had 19. I suspect AJ will be one and done in Buffalo.

Klein is visibly slower than any other person on the field outside of the DL and even some of those guys look faster. He's a liability at this point. Playing Dodson is the right move.

Why the hell did we give this guy a 3-year, $18M contract? Just insane.

It is 9.7 million guaranteed, but after this year I believe we only have a $3.2 million dollar hit if we move on. Maybe he is injured or something, but this does not seem to be working.

I just don’t think he is a good fit on the outside anymore.

 

He is to slow in coverage and I think you are seeing him replaced outside with Dodson.  Maybe he is more suited to the MLB position at this point.

 

We will see once DelShawn gets back - if he and Dodson are ok on the outside - I could see Klein deactivated and let go in the off season.

4 million in dead cap next year if we cut him.  400k in 2020.  He might stick around next year, particularly if the cap is flat.

I'm no @Virgil inside-football-wise, but I know slow when I see it. Just like the Supreme Court did with "adult" material.

He's a huge liability at this point.

Klein was always best suited for MLB. Bad part is in this defense the MLB is in coverage. A lot.

Klein does look slow but the few times I watched him he also looks unsure of what he should be doing.

Slow to react I guess is a better way to put it.

Maybe with some more time he can improve that and at least be serviceable when he is called on to play. 

 

In the meantime Dodson has a good chance to keep improving!

He definitely doesn't have the recovery speed if he takes a misstep.
