after going in the first round to a backup might have kicked some sense into him.

another solid high reward move with a medium risk factor due to his starting experience

He may be a steal remember Bushrod and Jarmmal Brown was decent tackles Drew made them in to Pro bowlers the way he moves in the pocket.

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.

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.

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

Hopefully he can push Charles Brown or this may be his come back year and be a beast of a LT, who knows. This signing does add experienced depth anyway.
