jimfire Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I have seen enough of Smith. Lets get some young blood in there. I know hes good on special teams. He served as a distraction early on, but teams are onto his lack of ability. His plays are all predictable. His qb play in the New England was very poor. He drops way too many balls and doesnt run great routes. I sure Clowney and or Stuckey can add more to the offense and make up for his special team play.

BwanaZulia Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The problem is, he is VERY good on special teams. I remember that Dolphin game two years ago where he just NAILED Welker every time he tried to tough the ball. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfire Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 agreed. but that doesnt help us when we go three wide or when Cotch or coles are not in there. He allows teams to shut down one receiver and he cant deliver the goods. Hes starting to remind me of mccairens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 in case you haven't noticed a lot of receivers "get it" in their third year, Cotchery did. I've posted the statistical similarities before, the parallel each other quite nicely. patience dude. this receiving core has more depth than you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just hate to lose a potentially very good player because we held a mediocre player who makes a special team play once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The only way to stop the Brad Smith experiment is to start the Alan Parsons Project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 My understanding is that Smith was looking decent at WR in training camp this year. Not spectacular, but decent. So I guess the team has decided to give him a little more time. But I agree that he has to show them something in the preseason this year if plans to make the team.

He drops way too many balls. I don't think year three or year thirty three has anything to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 right now Brad Smith and Wallace Wright-one of them is on the way out...David Ball? I watched him on ST's vs the Browns and he should keep his suitcase very close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 right now Brad Smith and Wallace Wright-one of them is on the way out...David Ball? I watched him on ST's vs the Browns and he should keep his suitcase very close I have been saying it for years Brad Smith is not a Wide Receiver. Remember when people wanted him to be the 3rd option? No. Here is what should happen. Brad should be the 5th WR. His special teams value is tremendous. Then he can stay fresh and they can use the trick plays as a novelty instead of a staple. With a new OLine they don't need to do as much trickery. Wallace Wright? I have been a huge fan of his. His special teams play is legit. But I don't think he is going to make the team again this year. Unless there are injuries, but the way it stacks up now Wallace is going to be the odd man out. Coles, Cotchery, Smith are locks. Stuckey is looking good. Clowney is looking good. It is a good problem to have because clearly this year there is more talent in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Smith will make the team and it's a pretty good corps of WR's you're predicting IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is usually a UDFA and everyone claims he is the real deal. Clowney is that guy this year imo. Except normally I don't hop on the bandwagon. I am usually skeptical. Right now I am buying what Clowney is selling. And I honestly believe he has a very good shot at making this team. He didn't have a huge college career but he seems locked in right now. If he continues to play like he has, he is going to be a happy camper come cut down day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody remember-he was under Herm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody remember-he was under Herm He did that two years in a row. Hackett actually featured him the game plan. They threw pass after pass his way and it was drop, drop, drop.

kelticwizard Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Do we really know how good Wallace Wright is as a receiver? I mean he's been with the team a long time, but I rarely remember him playing the position even in preseason. I think he got some WR time last year when Coles got hurt, and I remember specifically he ran past his man on a long pattern and Clemens underthrew him by about 8 yards and it was intercepted. Not sure if the ball was tipped or not. I'm wondering if Wright didn't make the team his very first year mostly because of his special teams play, then excelled so much there that they never even gave him a second thought as a genuine wide receiver. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
