How much of an impact will Will Smiths suspension have?

The Dude · 08-12-2012, 10:00 PM

Who do you think is best suited to take his place at this point? Do you think we will see a huge drop off?

Stick Wilson and Galette on the ends and I think we'll be fine

Exactly, shouldn't be that big of an issue. Especially if the LB's have more of an impact this year.

Jordan manning down one end with Galette/Wilson rotating at the other seems like a good bet. Get both Galette and Wilson in on some passing situations.

I think the real problem will be on running downs. Smith is a solid defender against bot the run and the pass. Cameron Jordan can hold his own against a heavy running attack but I am not covinced that goes for Galette or Wilson yet.

About as much as it did when he was suspended for StarCaps.

If it's like his playing career, marginal at best.

Smith has been an above average NFL DE with the Saints and remained relatively healthy throughout his entire career.

Were you thinking of Charles Grant, maybe?

Charles Grant wasn't a terrible DE until his last year here. People need to understand the difference between being a solid player and being a superstar player.

The biggest problem with both has been the size of their contracts. Both solid. Average, inconsistent impact. Certainly not stars.
