I'd like to know what happened to that Tra'quan Smith that smoked our defense in Training Camp - he only showed up for one, maybe two games all year...

IDK JP, Smith was balling against scrubs most of the pre season.

Circling back to SP in training camp when he stated he lacks "burst" in the lower half of his body. This could very well be a major reason why he disappeared this year. If you can't separate at this level, you won't win one on one match ups. Michael Thomas isn't a burner by no means, however he knows how to separate vs MAN coverage.

I think 3quan Smith makes a substantial improvement in year #2. He simply needs time to develop his craft. After all he is a rookie & it takes time, especially at the WR position.
