How much is he actually playing? Feels like there are long gaps where I don't see him out there. I'm guessing only certain packages.

But I'm glad hes not hurt like everyone else

Well he's usually there for the base 4-3. But when they switch to nickle them tend to keep Warner and Foster out there.
I actually think Smith is better in coverage than Foster.
Looks like he might be moving back to Will LB with Reuben hurt.

Might as well. Mark Nzeocha can play SAM.

Oh hey there. Looks like the chances of Smith making next years team just went up

Looks like it. Now we will really see what he can do game to game in a starting role. I'm expecting average play, nothing spectacular.

He'll probably be an upgrade over Foster.
Elijah Lee is much better...and younger...and cheaper...but Saleh happens.

Not the long term answer. without good LB's this defense will not be solid even if we get a good pass rusher. We plug one hole and another opens up.

Totally agree, he flashes constantly

After the first quarter I didn't see him again. Hurt again?
What?

Lee has the speed to make plays but man does he miss alot of tackles.

He is like Brock Coyle. They are nice backups to have but if they are starting we are in trouble.

I like Lee too, but he seems to miss more tackles than 51
