Yeah I noticed him last week in coverage there are certain directions he struggles to move in. Sad

It's all of the above.

I don't really blame him for the physical limitations. To come back from the injury he had is nothing short of miraculous.

However his technique and his reactions are beyond awful. He takes himself out of so many plays and much of it is because he doesn't like contact.

The worst part of this all is that Jones decided to pay him like a top 3 LB and he is nowhere near that. He is a borderline starter.

There is nothing wrong with Smith’s legs at all. He still flashes big time speed. Rare speed. His issue is that it is clear he does not take his job seriously. How can he when he is selling his sunglasses during the week. Smith plays like a guy that watches next to no game film. He plays like a guy that does not work on technique. Always out of position. Always crossing his feet. Never square. Never anticipates. Never sees the play develop and reacts with power. He never fills a gap. Overruns a dozen plays a game. He routinely takes a circular route to make a play. Never stands anyone up. Never blows up a blocker. He will blow up a team mate coming into a tackle late. Always chasing. Routinely avoids tackles. Does not want to make the routine play.

Nothing wrong with his leg at all. He plays like a guy not accountable to anyone. A guy that does not work on becoming a great LB. It’s his attitude and lack of focus on football that is the problem.

His problem is running in the wrong direction, sometimes running in circles and avoiding contact.
I hope the new coaches do something to embarass him.

You don't think he can run, I consider him a thief, he took the money and ran

He does anything to avoid contact. Guy is a fraud.

To sum it up...pathetic LOSER

Think about that for a second....a linebacker that doesn't like contact. Is this not noticable by his coaches on film study? Is this not evident in tackling drills? Oh my bad, forgot, we dont do tackling drills.

I've been saying that for the last two years, that knee injury was bad bad bad and he'll NEVER be 100% and I also said I would have NEVER drafted him that high maybe not at all!
