Smith has character. Thats what we payed for guys.

Thanks MO for the wicked Sig.
let me say first, that I am not a smith lover and could care less if we keep him or dont.....
But imo it would be monumentally stupid to cut him loose now. Just think about it. We often times see teams go 4-5 wide. And we will see it a lot. As more and more teams are going pass heavy.
So we have champ, goody, nate, cox---do you really want syd to be the 5th guy out there. Or what if someone goes down, do you really want syd to be who we are going to rely on??
Answer this honestly as if you were a coach. I know I sure as hell wouldnt. What has syd done at CB, not on KR, but at CB? Yes he had the pick 6. On a gift that the qb threw right to him all alone. It was a nice play and I do not want to discount it....But has anyone actually ever looked at his coverage plays, vs alphonso smiths?
THe last two games I have watched the fonz only on D. I am not all that impressed, but he is quick and he has for the most part blanketed his wr. Have you noticed why the qb was not ever throwing at smith. Because he had his guy locked up. I have yet to re watch syd, but I do not think we can accurately judge his coverage ability by 1 game against backups.
I am just trying to be open minded about this. But to me nothing warrants keeping syd over phonz in the CB dept. Just his ST play. Which does warrant it. But we also have royla, willis, cox who can do it too. So with all that said, I still think syd makes the squad, but I also think that phonz makes it too and is listed higher on the depth chart. I mean wouldnt it make sense, if you were a coach?
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
McDaniels would look like to much of a moron if he dumped Smith and he became good. We grumble with smith on the team, but would raise hell if he was cut and became a starter elsewhere.
Thanks MO for the wicked Sig.
They will not activate more than 4 CB's a game, so if you want Smith as injury protection or keep him around to see if he will develop, fine. Syd'Quan would provide both KR depth and CB depth, he is more versatile.
Well McDaniels didn't know how to draft back then and he still doesn't, so no surprise. But Smith should make the team.
At least give him one more year. Why the hell do we want Nate Jones? No upside.
Wasnt Smith taken to return kicks as well????
Thanks MO for the wicked Sig.
Just think of what we could have had with the 14th overall this year.
Josh was like a kid in a candy store last year during the draft. Oh, how is Richard Quinn doing also?
As we have seen time and time again CB wind up with Ham strings, ankles or concussions all the time.
mikey used to say you can never have enough RBs, Cbs or LBs he was wise in that regard. I suspect that thompson will wind up PS. and then recalled if no one steps up.
