Which is a Smith problem... He can not shed blocks.

Holding of some fashion happens on the line every play, if Smith is the one man that cant get away then either he is not aggressive enough or strong enough.

I wouldn't want anybody on my team that was ready to say goodbye. You need guys that are fighters and that will do what it takes to get a roster spot and play on sundays.

I'm pulling for him cause I like the guy and I hope he excels this season. Am I really in the minority?

We might be pleasantly surprised by WS at linebacker. Most of us thought Gallette would not be a factor and now it looks like he may be our starter-regardless of injuries. Besides, WS may actually have good coverage skills......he did intercept a pass from Kurt Warner-cant say the same for half our secondary

I don't know who you are referring to as not thinking Gallette would be a factor. Not this guy. His success with very limited reps, the writing was on the wall.

IMO WS will be terrible in coverage, he is very slow, he has a lot of miles on him and he is nearing the end of his career. Doesn't sound like a recipe for success to me.

What I meant by that was that a lot of what I read about our defense seemed to be revolved around Butler and Wilson.....with very little reguards to Gallette. I wasn't sure myself if he would be able to perform at lb since he was mainly used as a pass rusher in a 4-3.

The minority thought he wouldn't be a factor, certainly not the majority of us.
