Yeah he was a dirty player on top of being a scrub who got waaayyyy too much playing time in his career

rex liked him because he understood his defense.  he was a "smart" player.

Makes me wonder how much longer the NFL as we know it will be around.  My gut feeling is that down the road, it’ll evolve into something like flag football in order to survive.  I think the injury and trauma research is only going to be more damning as time goes on which will make the hitting and contact look less and less appealing to fans and players alike.  

Agree 100%.

I remember in the 2010 playoff win against the Pats, he hit a receiver so hard that their helmet decal shattered. For a second it looked like the guy's helmet broke apart. 

Smith wasn't a great player, but he could hit like a truck.

Remember when Mahomes' helmet cracked in the playoffs?

If you look at the play in slow motion, Smith wasnt aiming for his head. The defender on the left hit Bouldin first bending his head down and Smith then hits Bouldin in the mask. Smith had no time to adjust his hit as it was bang bang.  The hit would have been in the chest without the initial contact by the other defender. 

I’m now remembering how heated this debate was years ago.

The theory of relativity comes to mind here.
