Mazi Smith has not recorded a single pressure on any of his 80 pass rushes this season

[lkelly]

Why is he rushing the passer anyway? Only Dallas would draft a guy with zero pass rush skills and assume he can do it cause he looks cool in shorts.

Because unlike Michigan, Dallas doesn't know the play the other team is going to run before the snap.

He is pacing himself.

 

[Zekeats]

Worse pick than Taco. At least Taco performed a little when he played.

 

[RonWashington]

On most teams he would be already.

Andy Reid might find some routes for him ( Schoon )

If D Flaw teaches his D lineman anything it is that year 1 and year 2 do not matter. Break out in year 3. Hold out in year 4. This is the way.

Post of your life lol lol lol d flaw lol lol lol lol lol

Yeah right poor comparison, taco was horrible too

 

[Cmac]

This may be a worse selection than Taco. I hope not......I really hope not.

 

[DasTex]

But he likes to hit people.....

I see what you did there.

1st round pick that plays like a UDFA, people get excited he improved from a F to a C/D grade. He's a 1st rounder. It's a F across the board simply because of where he was picked and has shown little to no justification of being a 1st round pick. He's a perfect example of a BUST. I doubt very seriously he'll be on the team after his rookie deal is done.

let me tell you.....we are not getting another DT. we are not cutting Mazi (unless we trade him for an 8th round pick). he is going to play out his contract in Dallas. Jerry doesn't like dead cap, because he would have to pay twice for a player....

guaranteed.

He's definitely not worth his rookie contract $$ but they'll consider it cheap enough to let him play it out. Gone after 2026 unless a miracle happens. He'll be a pretty expensive rotational piece, they have to upgrade the position next off season one way or another.

I don't recall Mazi being drafted for his pass rush abilities.

 

[diamonddelts]

First Taco, now Mazi. Best GM ever.

 

[75boyz]

big dog already covered it.
The joke response to the OP is to say that "BUT he wasn't drafted to rush the passer BUT to stop the run."

AND...
He sucks terribly at stopping the run.
End of discussion.

If he was a UDFA, he would have been cut in camp. Mazi plays like he's on roller skates.

 

[MyFairLady]

IMHO Mazi plays like a guy who does not like football and has decided that 14 million in career earnings is pretty dang good.

 

[FVSTONE]

For some reason, the Cowboys haven't had a whole lot of luck Michigan players they've drafted

Out of Taco, Mazi, Schoon and Jordan Lewis... only Lewis is good.

The rest suck.
