After appearing in eight games with five starts as a rookie, Smith opened 15 games at right tackle in 2010, as Jackson rushed for 1,241 yards and Sam Bradford became the second rookie quarterback to throw for more than 3,500 yards." It looks like he had a pretty damn good start to me. Is it his fault he didn't get the starting position as OT at Newyork which has been suspect for the past I dont know 20 years? I believe this is a great aquisition and if the Saints can get the kind of production out of him he had in St. Louis plus a blocking tight end this could be the steal of the year. Welcome aboard Jason Smith!!!

Re: Saints sign Jason Smith, OT
Smith has suffered a total of three concussions since being drafted by the Rams with the second overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, two of them serious enough to end his season. It's far to wonder if his career is in jeopardy. In fact, I don't wonder if the injuries, particularly the concussion, he suffered as a rookie did not adversely impact his development as a player.
In five starts, Smith showed potential, but also displayed the inconsistency expected of a rookie. He never seemed able to shake that inconsistency enough to be the kind of lockdown offensive tackle teams expect of a second overall pick. Jason Smith Injury: Rams OT Done For The Season - Turf Show Times hmmm had to do so digging on him. Smith did not make much of an impact in his one season with the Jets. He was mainly used as an extra blocker in power run sets, a role he performed pretty well. It would not have been the worst thing in the world to see the Jets bring him back for depth purposes. The athletic Smith might have been a worthy reclamation project. Jason Smith Signs With New Orleans Saints - Gang Green Nation ok i am not ready to pencil him at starter at LT or RT yet but he is going to to be interesting to watch this bust label might be typical fan and media reactions to a player over hyped and over drafted then injured 2 out of 4 years. concussion need to to be watched |
