His play has been above expectations all season but the touchdown saving tackle on the goal line, that is a man play. I don't know too many corners in this league that make that play.

Vontae did what today? sidelined, not even playing, not missed either

Sean Smith has always been kicked in the balls by this fan base.
No one was patient enough for him to develop.
You people know who you are and should hide your faces in shame.
Absolutely ridiculous the grief this guy has been given. The treatment with him was embarrassing to me as a Phins fan.
Just goes to show how little some mouth breathers actually know about the game of football. -
Sean has been putting hairs on his chest all season.

Smth has improved by leaps and bounds this year. He has performed way above my expectations and I'm glad to see it.

I had Vontae becoming the better corner, was critical of Smith last year, i should of projected his length and range potential better, I'm happy he came to camp off a productive strength and conditioning offseason, when camp started, he was all business, and as soon as I saw that ability and focus, It was obvious that his head caught up to his talent, well at east I had him as a breakout player from the first camp report.lol

Actually he had a pretty poor game today overall especially compared to his last 2 games. Look confused out there for most of the game. Gave far too much cushion to WR's who didn't need it and gave up a lot of yards. I recall one play where the WR cut off his route and came running back towards the QB....Sean spun himself around so badly he was running downfield still. The WR caught the ball with Smith 8 yards away.
He's actually much better against the physical tall WR's. Match him up with the midget speed guys and he's got issues.Agua and HardKoreXXX like this. -
Yeah, I agree with Van. SS has been very good this season but I don't think he played that well today. He didn't give up any big plays but did give up some easy catches.

Because the TD he gave up against the Cards was pretty big at the end of the game.....
I like him, think he is developing into a fine CB, and they should extend him at some point but he has trouble in the red zone, and still needs to learn to get his head around....thats always been his main problem, it is like he doesn't trust himself to turn his head and still run with the WR -

Still doesn't play the ball in the air at all, Misses tackles, plays conservatively. He is a good cover corner, not a play-maker IMO.

Larryfinfan 17-0...Priceless Club Member
I'm real happy that he has been playing well this season, but it's taken 3 full seasons plus to finally start to think that he's 'consistent'. That's always been the knock on him...but, count me in as one that glad he's playing the way he is... -
That's funny. He will never be elite.

..... or how he limited Fitzgerald & Green to 65 or less yards in back to back weeks, with Fitz & Green having long receptions of only 11 & 18 yards and Sean forcing a fumble on Green's 18 yarder?
.... or the 2 other forced fumbles that were reversed/overruled on bogus calls IIRC.
.... or how he picked off 2 passes against Fitzgerald, one of which prevented a Zona TD, and both of which led to 10 Miami points?
.... or how he ranks #3 in the NFL in passes defended?
.... or how he's greatly contributing to the NFL's 8th ranked pass defense regarding opposing QBR (77.5) and 5th in completion % allowed (57.5)?
.... or are you referring to how his 1 on 1 coverage ability has often provided Coyle and the defense greater flexibility, including Reshad Jones being freed up for other duties?
Yeah you're right. He totally sucks. :001_rolleyes: -
The issue with cornerback evaluations is that the good things that are done usually go unseen and/or unheard. But when things go bad, oh boy....They are focused on and that's how players are criticized. Obviously Smith has his issues and he's not Darelle Revis by any stretch, but he's improving and has become a quality player. He's still going to have issues, yes, but which corner doesn't besides the elite?
