For a guy who has mediocre ball skills and cant create TO's it too much. For a guy that allowed almost a 71% completion % against and tied for 5th in TD allowed (6) 7-7.5M is overpaying. It might be what the market calls for but I wouldnt want to be the team giving him that for a 3-4 year (or more) deal when 2 years in hes going to be a cut candidate imo. His physical skillset is appealing but mentally im not sure hes there. Plus Ive been reading we want to play more zone where he doesnt fare well....

 

I'm glad Jonthan Banks tested like crap, so maybe we can get him in the second round, where we got Sean, and replace Sean.

Sean is a decent corner, and may even be worth the $7m, but I don;t like his attitude. The sense I get from the guy is that he's looking forward to leaving Miami and that rubs me wrong.

 

Back to zone and some quarters, Kiss of death. :pity:
You're right though. Smith is in a bad place with his development. He'll have to grow up.
Pains me to say it. I had hope for Sean. Top CB on the market?

 

Nice try, Dave Canter.

 

Sean Smith is a very good press corner but I doubt we offer enough to keep him. The press man teams are going to value him more and we will be looking for a guy who is more versatile.

 

Zone is fine if you have CB's with ball skills and can cover in space. Guys like Sam Shields are excellent in this (and I bring up Shields because Philbins desire to play more zone probably stems from what GB does)

Top CB on the market....IMO Grimes.

Interesting thought I just had...what about signing Marcus Trufant as a dime CB and drafting his brother Desmond on a trade down in round 1? Could be a nice solution....dump Marshall add in Grimes and youre left with Grimes-Desmond Trufant-Patterson-Marcus Trufant....

Patterson makes like 4.5ish. Marshall should never have gotten what he got unless we intended to play him at FS where his metrics were excellent in Arizona. If Smith goes somewhere else and blows up good for him but it doesnt seem to be happening for him here.

 

Ah, the Buster of zone play



The GOB of turnovers


The George Michael of tackling

 

Me at home, alone on my couch when I see "arrested development" gifs

 

Can't wait for that show to come back.

It doesn't surprise me to see other fans getting excited for Smith. They don't watch him play every game. They see he's young, big, and has talent. They don't see the inconsistent play. I don't think he's worth the money he's probably going to get, but it wouldn't be a total shock if he put it together on his next team.

 

One mans trash is sometimes another mans gold.

 

He did very well taking retreads and rejects and turning around their careers. More with safeties though.

 

He has been pretty effective against bigger WRs. problem is our main rival is New England, so Smith is as useless as the poopy flavored lollipop against them.

 

So, you're Patches O'Houlihan? I thought I saw a giant chandelier drop fall on you in Las Vegas. :shifty:

 

Huh? He generally was covering Hernandez or Gronk if I recall.

 

Yep, I personally like that match up very much thank you.

 

I thought we got him in the 4th.

 

Sign Tracy porter for a lot less, 26 years old.

 

I'm sort of tired of watching this franchise drafting young talent and then allowing it to walk away after they wrap up their first contract. So in that regard I hope that we can keep Smith around a bit longer.

That said, he's certainly moving into the dreaded D word category in terms of attitude, so I don't know if bringing him back is the right move. Yes he's a great match-up for us, especially against New England, but he's still prone to immaturity and lacks big play ability. Essentially I think he tries to get by taking shortcuts and doesn't buy into scheme, which is why he sometimes finds himself out of position and gives up big plays.

Personally I'd let him walk. Cornerbacks his size are rare, but at the same time I don't think he's irreplaceable to this team.

 

I think he's grown up and shown a pretty good work ethic over the past two years. If he could hold onto half of those dropped interceptions, Miami fans would be begging for him to return.

 

This is most certainly true.

 

We may. Changing to more of a zone scheme would fit a corner like Porter.

 

You seriously thought Sean Smith was a 4th rounder, or is there a joke I'm not getting?

 

I thought he was older.

 

Yeah I thought it was the fourth. My bad.

Lol

 

Bellfu&k is going to have him picking ole Ry Ry's pockets clean......

 

There ya go bub. :up:

 

:up:

 

For the same reason that phins fans gush over some other teams FAs when their message boards are "WTF why would anybody else want him?"

Fans rate players from other teams based on their highlight reel and measurables. Fans rate their own players based on how they play for the whole season.

It's easy to get a hard on for a girl where you get to see her glamour shots, but when you have to wake up next to her every morning things change.

 

im not sure what kind of press that was, but not getting your hands on the player at that proximity is why you get toasted there sean.

 

Smith can go. I wish him well, but I won't miss him. Remember that pick against the Saints in his rookie preseason? I really thought we had something at that point. Now after watching him the last few seasons I have to wonder if he had just eaten a honey sandwich or something. He must have been a horrible receiver!

Part of me hopes he goes to the Pats to tie up cap space to keep them out of the top FA WR hunt but, the other half of me knows he will go beast mode and destroy us twice a year.

 

Grimes please. That is all.

 

He won't get "paid" in New England. I bet he will go to Arizona and sink into obscurity.
