Lol, understandable.

Just looking at some of Smoke's college tape, he'd fit in well in the '90s style of football against a run-heavy league. IMO today's NFL is too petty and quick to blow whistles on a violent, hard-hitting free safety. Smoke plays like a throwback Sammy Knight.

Unfortunately for him, today's safeties have to cover these explosive slot receivers & quick RBs & I don't think he's built for that. His game will be inside the box. I think his ceiling is special teams.

Here's to hoping I'm wrong :beer:

Maybe the old Seattle QB from the 90's, Rick Mirer, has a son that plays safety. That way we could have Smoke and Mirer in the defensive backfield.

With a name like that, he needs to come in smoke some WRs.

I wonder if Trill "the thrill" was too big a name to live up to, hence the real reason why he isn't here?

Naw. The reason he isn't here is he wasn't that thrilling. He's played one game in his two year career. Four snaps on defense and 15 snaps on special teams in the last game of 2021.

I haven't heard much from Smoke at OTA's but hopefully he gets to see more action at mini camp. He's been kind of quiet. Maybe he needs to get on social media again. ;)
