One former Cowboys lineman who also played with Smith in San Francisco has something to say about Smith.
“I say this with all honesty,” said Leonard Davis, the former Cowboys Pro Bowl guard who was Smith’s teammate with the Niners in 2012, “he was a legitimate DeMarcus Ware-type player. He’s tall. He’s long. He’s very athletic. And he plays with leverage. He’s got good instincts, too. The dude can rush the passer.
“He not only can rush the passer, but he could play the run, as well. He wasn’t afraid to play the run. Some guys, all they care about is the sacks, but that wasn’t him.”
Of course, Ware is one of the most revered Cowboys ever. While no one would ever compare Smith to Ware off the field, D-Ware was a model citizen, there is something to the comparison on the field.
