Giants sign Rod Smith

[DuncanIso]

Not sure what the Giants' depth looks like. He's primarily a special-teammer, so unless they want him to be the primary backup, there might be a role for him.

We're depending on a fourth-round rookie and a seventh-round rookie to replace him, so I don't think we can say we're better off yet just attempting to get better production for the backup spot than we got last year from Smith.

Agree.

Also, this is why we pay Zeke.

Pray he doesn’t hold out for more $$$.

That takes care of that. you see, whenever I see 2 brothers on a professional sports the same thing runs through my brain. You mean there's nobody else on the country better than this guys brother?

I'm sure. He was terrible here last year. Somehow, the guy went Hollywood and thought he was far better than what we actually was.

Same I always felt that we had ZERO production at the RB spot when Zeke went to grab some air/sip on some water...

Puzzling that they would allow themselves to not have a better change of pace option to Zeke to get him some more rest in the middle of the game

Yes. The offense came Tom a screeching halt whenever Zeke needed a break. That's has to change and that change included saying goodbye to Rod Smith.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Lol the Giants and Commanders LOVE our sloppy seconds.

Later, Rod. It's been real.

 

[Future]

More proof that the NFL values guys who can come in and just not screw things up lol.

I was mad we did not sign CJ Anderson last year and dump Rod Smith. Wouldn't you know that the Rams sign CJ towards the end of the year and he kills us in the playoffs.

Jaylon will blow his brother up 2x per year now. Should be fun at the family gatherings.

I like the story behind Rod Smith getting to play with his brother. The truth however, is both those rookies will be more productive.

This just reshuffled the entire NFCE.

Good for Rod. I liked Rod but thought he had a down year. Of course when you get 2-3 carries a game its hard to get in rhythm.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Good for him. Solid guy. I think he really helped with Jaylon's transitioning here. Not sure how I felt about him as a running back but would've liked to have seen him stay at full back.

Yeah I like Rod if we didn't have a back like Zeke. He should compliment someone the opposite of him. Quick and shifty type back.

 

[Carson]

May not even make the 53 behind Barkley and Gallman

 

[Ranching]

They can have him...

The #Giants have signed former #Cowboys reserve RB Rod Smith, who struggled last year but averaged 4.2 yards per rush in 2017.

You'd be kissing his butt if he was from Boise...

There goes the season right there. Now we gotta face Rod twice a year. Oh da horror. Isn't that what we say about every player that leaves Dallas bahahaha

 

[JoeKing]

We kept the better brother. Good luck to Rod Smith, may you have great games that your team loses.

Like Darius Jackson and Bo Scarbrough?

Draft picks bust every year. I don't count on them until they show it.

I'm sure. He was terrible here last year. Somehow, the guy went Hollywood and thought he was far better than what we actually was.

I think he sort of pulled a Troy Hambrick. Hambrick looked good as a seldom-used backup to Emmitt Smith. Then, when Smith left and Hambrick was inexplicably made the starter, he flopped.

Smith thrived in a seldom-used role behind Elliott and Alfred Morris. Teams just didn't pay any attention to him because he was a third-stringer, so they didn't really know what to expect of him. He didn't get a lot more attention last year, but I believe defenses looked at him enough to know what to expect when he was in the game.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

I like Rod and I'm glad that he landed on his feet.

Of course, we no longer get to hear...
