Re: Cutting Will Smith

I was a bit surprised at how slow and out of place Smith looked in the 1st preseason game - maybe I let the optimist in me talk me into believing that somehow this positional change would work out... IDK.

Anyway, I was very disappointed with how he behaved on the field and it didn't look any better during the second watch, so maybe he could move back into a "hand on the turf" position or maybe he'll improve... but at the moment I just can't see a way he could be a starter in any of the positions available to him in this defense.

Yup. Linebacker is entirely different than DE and I've been skeptical from the beginning that ANY of our guys would transition smoothly. After watching that game I think we're going to have a mess on our hands.
