Mazi Smith released by Dolphins

[gtb1943]

whichever scout gave Mazi a first rd grade needs to be fired

 

[DanTanna]

That one second delay at the snap of the ball he had in his high school recruiting tapes? He was never able to overcome that.

Chargers better give him a job. Harbaugh developed players at Michigan who have not translated to the NFL very well.

I think for guys like Taco and Mazi, they trend lazy -- Harbaugh is in your face with his players -- you can do that in college because you are dealing with kids. But it gets stale real quick in the pros. He wasn't preparing them for the NFL.

 

[RandyOh]

Former 1st round pick. He must be good. Let’s give him a shot.

If only Miami had waited they would have gotten a 4th round pick out of us for him

 

[Cmac]

All this says is.....Player evaluation, scouting failures, and culture are the root to our problems. Mazi was a 1st round pick. Been saying and will continue to say it.......it's shown on game days.

 

[kskboys]

Shocker. So, a guy who wasn't very good in college isn't very good in the NFL. OMG, how in the world could anyone have predicted that??????????????????

 

[kskboys]

I suppose one can only take so much suck.

Au contraire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shabazz]

Arena league GM's put on notice.

Area Burger Kings put on notice

Its as if we all forgot the Mazi "Plyo-Stairs" video........it was later revealed that the scouting department used that as it's main criteria

 

[Jipper]

I hear hes got a visit scheduled with hone depot for Thursday and if they let him leave the building hes got one on friday with lowes. Ace hardware has been linked but might not want to pony up the cash

I have to wonder for some they just got where they did off natural athletic talent alone in college but come the NFL you are no longer the strongest guy in the trenches.
And then when reality hit that they are struggling, they didn't change their ways and actively try to improve.
Taco at least flashed some upside his rookie year, but all of his sacks came off D-Law's side(LDE), which was bad timing as D-Law came into his own that year. Taco never seemed to click at RDE and then I think just wore quickly on the coaches with his attitude.

How do you get cut from a team that’s tanking lol?

I think that is the NFL version of getting fired on your day off.

 

[phildadon86]

Best part of this.

Guys like Rocky who knows so much about football were bragging that we stole Mazi and he was going to transform our DL.

All of these other FO's must be haters.

 

[ghst187]

Mazi and Taco were huge busts.

Taco had a tiny bit of ability but Mazi was one of the worst players I’ve ever seen and the same player from his college tape. Just being massive made him a few million. Maybe he can parlay his size into a follow on career as a door stop, fencepost, or placeholder….oh wait any slight breeze will wipe him out of the scene completely….

 

[erod]

Mazi and Taco were huge busts.

...and Kavika Pittman, Shante Carver, and Ebenezer Ekuban.

Damn

 

[phildadon86]

Damn

Truth hurts.

 

[blueblood70]

Are we gonna do this every time one of our players y'all didn't like and you thought were a failure moves from one team to another and keeps getting cut it's a special post that is not newsworthy it's a waste man Can y'all just stop with the drama do you guys just like talking about things that don't matter absolutely zero to do with the Cowboys now I don't think this was his second team I think he's been on his 3rd team now so somebody thought they'd pick him up and try it wasn't just the Cowboys huh just like Sam Darnold made it around how about Malik Collins maybe someday this dude comes back around and plays well I hope he does I can come here and find you..

 

[charron]

former 1st round pick, dallas better sign him quick.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Truth hurts.

Not that truth though Mazi is bad lol
