Saints cut Jason Smith... Desperate Times!

[TheCount]

Guy has been cut twice in like half a year, but I'll be damned if Jeremy Parnell will be our starting RT tho open the season! I'd say bring him in and let's have a look see.

In the words of Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury in Avengers, "How desperate am I? You threaten my QB with sacks, you block an edge you can't hope to contain, you talk about protection yet can't provide lanes to run. You have made me very desperate."

That's how the quote goes, right?

 

[Future]

Well, Parnell won't be starting at tackle on opening day, but it might not be awful to bring this guy in for a look see

 

[erod]

Supposedly, the problem with him is he doesn't like football.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Goodness. I always thought he was a bit over drafted, but I never imagined he would bust so gloriously.

 

[DBOY3141]

I think between Free, Parnell and Bell we have better options than Jason Smith.

 

[conner01]

i think rowdy would be a better option than smith. he does'nt have the heart to be a decent nfl player. and besides parnell is not going to be our starting RT anyways, he will be the swing tackle

 

[Idgit]

Nope. Not even to take a look.

And where'd the Parnell-might-start bit come from?

Didn't you hear? Fee is being moved to guard. Parnell starts at tackle. And we brought in a bunch of crazed zombies to play special teams.

What a disaster! Anybody know if Jason Smith can play RG? Anything would be better than Doug Free starting at RG!!!

Zero interest in player who aren't interested in playing. I'm sure the team feels the same.

You are thinking of a quote the former Rams GM said about Alex Barron.

I'd rather we pick up bronchitis.

We could check to see where Jacob Rogers is right now.

Please come in off the ledge.

Rogers did end up getting shoulder surgery after his rookie season.

"Going into second year, I was in really good shape and playing well," he said. "In my first preseason game, I tore my knee out again. I ended up tearing my MCL 10 times in three years. The last time I did it, the kneecap hit my femur and choked off two pieces of cartilage from the bone."

The Cowboys wanted Rogers to play on it, but after talking to doctors, he ended up having surgery to repair the damage.

"Dallas wasn't too happy about it and released me."

Ain't nobody got time for that!

I stand corrected. Good find, btw.

This.

If we were talking about Jason Peters, then it would be a good discussion.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'd bring him in and have a look. Could not hurt one thing if we did. From a talent perspective, he is certainly better then anything else we have as a swing tackle. If he doesn't pan out, then he doesn't pan out but you never know unless you actually check to see.

He had some pretty decent years at Baylor. He's from Dallas so who knows, maybe playing before his family and friends might make a difference.

 

[FiveRings]

Tackle is not our problem. We need interior help.
