Dcronin Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 What a likable guy and what a talented, hard worker! No 53 player projection has him on the team. It’s sad as hell, but more reflective of the ridiculous talent around him. Does anyone here see room for him anywhere but the practice squad? Maybe Hard Knocks will help him land on a roster on another team. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 He will always have a career as a char-coochie board spokesman when his NFL career eventually ends. Good guy, good player in a limited role. Probably headed for the PS again though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I hope he makes it. Another member contacted me and clued me into how my intended silly joke could very easily be misinterpreted as something more than the dumb name play joke it was meant to be. I have edited this to remove it. There was zero mean intent but regardless of that and more importantly I always have respect for other people's sensitivites hence the edit / removal.

greenwave81 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) That’s one of the hardest things about watching Hard Knocks…you get to meet some of the ‘fringe’ players and like them as people and players…then they get cut. but If Smart can’t crack this unit to make the roster, that’s no black mark on him…the DL is stacked. I would bet money if we cut him, he’d get signed in 15 minutes with someone else Edited August 23, 2023 by greenwave81 Added to oost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElBarrioJets Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Final DT spot is down to Smart vs. Solomon Thomas. He definitely has a chance, though this regime seems to LOVE Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Alot of guys who want to play pro sports don't make the cut. Many of them are likeable. Good luck to him, and the hundreds of other guys who will be cut soon, and the thousands of other guys who never got the chance to be in camp. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachStepdad Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Smart is 100 times better than Soloman Thomas …. Still in the league because he was a 3rd overall pick and he’s not good at all. I would keep smart over him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t him, it would be someone else whose dream was ending. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It’s a far cry from the days when none of the jets cuts were viable nfl players. Smart seems to be pretty good and it would be great to keep him but someone’s gotta go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Smart has made it onto our practice squad in each of the past 3 years. He's a nice guy to have around for depth, but I'm not sure another team is suddenly going to claim him because he was on hard knocks. He's not a young, ascending player - he's a solid veteran who is good to have around for practice and emergencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guy, good player in a limited role. Probably headed for the PS again though. But if he can be elevated for just 1 game, it would mean a nice amount of money for him. I think the Jets owe it to him to elevate him for at least one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjets1969 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Solomon Thomas sucks he is a bust. Only reason he is still on roster because of Saleh and he was 3rd pick. Smart clearly outplayed Thomas but since he isnt a house hold name he won't make the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I’m sure Saleh would ask Smart if he wants to be on the practice squad or get his release so he can pursue his career with another team. I also think there are a few teams that would sign Smart quickly once he became available. He is ready right now to contribute on another defense. Ours just happens to be loaded.
