Cutting Will Smith

Seer1 · 08-12-2013, 08:50 AM

Next to rehiring Smith, Jackson's going to be Atlanta's worst move of the offseason. If it's five feet from the center snap to the sidelines -Smith. Any more distance than that, Vilma, Junior or anyone else.

True, Jackson is 6-2 240, Vilma is 6-1 230. Not a huge difference.

8-8 if they don't cut Smith, 10-6 to 12-4 if Sean and Co. do the right thing

Smith is not getting cut, he will be very limited to what he is exposed to however....

For the sake of having no other option, lets wait until the end of the Texans game, when we are making adjustments etc to drop the guillotine.

As far as your 8-8... We won a Super Bowl with Shanle on the field and went 13-3 in regular season, I am not prepared to say 1 defensive player is going to effect our entire season. .

I see him returning to DE. Like he said, he's back to his rookie weight. That should help him out some if he comes in on rotation. That and special teams.

Is he replacing Jordan or Hicks?

Junior and the rest of the guys Smith is holding back have something to say about that one

You want to replace Jordan or Hicks with Smith, you got to be kidding me. This just goes to show us that he has no place on this defense now and is better off being on a team that suits his mediocre RDE in a 4-3 position

Not as a starter but relief. If we are up late in the game or getting worn out.
