I believe that Smith, aside from QB's, was the only player not to see the field last week. That had to piss him off.
I take nothing away from Jason Allen, who player really well. However, I cannot see Smith sitting on the sidelines. Anyone hearing anything?

Sean Smith is our third best boundary corner, our worst slot corner, and he doesn't play special teams. I hope for his sake that he was watching how the defense dominated without him, and learning from the experience.

Hopefully this is his wake-up call.
Smiths weakness is run defense and tackling.NyPhinfan likes this. -

Smith did add 10 pounds of muscle in the off season, did look better in tackling in pre-season, and I thought he was primed for a really good year. -

I can buy into the big head part - hopefully this wakes him up and gets him to focus in on his craft. He was/is raw as a corner since he only played there a couple of years before being drafted.felly smarts, smahtaz, GMJohnson and 1 other person like this. -
Caroll's probably going to get shafted this week. Not sure how they make up for that on STs.
It's too bad you can't really find a depth chart for STs. -
I may be WAY off base here but he reminds me alot of Travis Daniels. I believe Sean Smith is a much better athlete than Travis was but the things he does on the field remind me ALOT of what Daniels did in his 2nd yr. By his 3rd year he was out of the league.

The staff thought so also, he started all 16 games, Davis didn't.
I think Davis is the better all around player, but in terms of pure coverage, I believe Smith is better (when his head is screwed on right). -

I hope this isn't another DeAngelo hall. He got a HUGE contract with the Raiders but the new system didn't fit him so he was cut mid-season. Now he's styling all over the Cowboys on the Redskins.

all last yr during preseason he showed great promise and even looked to be better then my boy Vontae! but now Vontae is starting to show signs of a shut down corner and Sean Smith has become a corner who has been shut down (atleast for week one) lol
I have no expectations for him, I learned my lesson about expectations from CBs after Jason Allen -

Goes both ways, watch the games last year, who started 16 games?
Who did the staff start over Davis?
Is he the best right now? NO (for reasons I explained)
Was he last year? Yes
My mind is fine, maybe you should search yours? :wink2:GMJohnson likes this. -

I'm thrilled they are making him earn his spot. It's the right way to handle young athletes.
From what i heard, Vontae worked his tail off in the offseason, even before OTA's and mini camps. Didn't hear the same thing about Smith.
Tells two different levels of desire and work ethic in my opinion. I would guess the coaches noticed it as well.
As many mentioned i too hope this is the wakeup call for him and he doesn't waste his next opportunity and realize the door out of the NFL is a slippery slope. -

Cb's have to prepare for Wr's the same way De's prepare for Tackles, whether they are starting or not, Smith will probably have a chance to show he has prepared himself to play Corner even when he doesn't think he will play. -

I expect him to play this game, If he doesnt get in and play good the end may be nerar for him in Miami.

I like a Rocky story more than most, but there were reasons why Smith started 16 games last season, and why Jason Allen played the majority of snaps in only 2.
