Jaylon Smith showcases 'explosion' at Cowboys camp

OXNARD, California -- Jaylon Smith had his “wow” moment of training camp.

On a stretch play to the left Saturday, the Dallas Cowboys' linebacker shot the gap between the offensive line to stop Darren McFadden for what would have been a tackle for loss.

“The defensive scheme is about alignment, assignment, key and technique,” Smith said. “Once you do that, it’s about playing fast. I did all those things on that play.”

It wasn’t Smith’s only play. He met McFadden in the hole in the next 11-on-11 period of practiced.
