No problem. I'm a little thin skinned about it since many of us were ridiculed for being excited about Junior's potential a couple of seasons ago

I'd like to see Smith have one last good year. He's been nothing but a pro since he's been here.

He'll be alright. There are situations where I could see him doing extremely well like around the goal line and special teams. Even in coverage he could probably hold his own against a TE used mainly for blocking.

I think people are getting wrapped around him trying to cover a Gonzalez or Vernon D which let's face it, hardly anybody can do effectively so he won't be called upon for that service.

I just don't see him making a differents at his age starting over in a new defence of sheme.

For team interest and his interest, trade him to a team that has the 43 defense - say the Rams for OT Rodger Saffold...

This is crazy, sometimes you just have to come to an amicable break...

Not saying he couldn't have a resurgence, but at this point with his salary cap hit, both parties have needed to move on...

I know you have wood for Saffold but the Rams are only 2 deep at either OT position and are not going to give him up... Much less for Will Smith.

As far as Saffold going dark on the Rams for over two weeks just because he was "not happy" going to RT, I don't care to have that sort of personality. He is NOT a team player.
