Re: Will Smith out for the Season

This is not addition by subtraction as some would like to think. Will Smith was not going to be great at rushing the passer, in-fact he would have been bellow average, however the guy was great at stopping the run.

With this latest development I am interested to see if Wilson and Gallete get time in P4, I feel they should get 1 or two series.

Richardson has played well and I think we should see more of Martin, Johnson has played many snaps but has not made many plays.

I don't think Wilson will return until week one, or at least that's what I understood. His injury has a 4-6 week diagnosis, I can't see Payton risking further injury for a preseason game.

I don't know if he was great exactly. We have D-linemen that can play the run. Humber and Lofton in the middle will help too. I think we'll be fine. We have a solid set of defensive linemen and Smith can still be a coach to the players. It's time for Gallette to bring it.

Re: Will Smith out for the Season

This isn't good at all. While Smith had become the new Shanle for a lot f fans fact still remains no coach will put a player in the starting lineup that he don't think gives the team the best chance to win. Obviously Smith was that guy at this point whether we fans agree or not.
I sure hope we have some young guys that can develop in a hurry.

Get well Mr. Smith. They have to bring in Aaron Curry for a look.

Re: Will Smith out for the Season

Wow, harsh comments.

Guy still had some gas in the tank and has been a solid fixture for our D. He made a pretty athletic move yesterday on an end a round before he got knocked out of the game. He was a wily vet that will be missed. Who dat nation should be a little un easy at this point. We simply do not have the personnel to overcome these injuries.

Payton is gonna have to play some ball control to keep the D off the field. Nice to have a stable of competent backs.

Re: Will Smith out for the Season

Some very odd comments going on in here! Not sure we could be happy losing ANY player. Also it may help a lot of people to do some research on how the cap works

Smith has definitely been in decline. He also has not been as quick to pick up OLB as many would have hoped. That much is obvious. But he offers experience which the young guys need. He IS good against the run. And he IS a warm body (good turn of phrase this). So this is a loss for sure, however ......

I am not as concerned as I would have been had we have lost many of the other players. I know it's weird but if someone HAD to go down, he is one of the players offering me, personally, the least concern. I think we DO have options. Yes those players are going to have to step up mighty quickly but sometimes being thrown in at the deep end is the best way.

I feel sorry for Smith but his loss has not turned a #16 defence into a #32 defence. Best of luck to him in the future.
