NY JETS 29 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 IMO I have seen about enough of Eric Smith and I don't see the love fest that EM has with him. I liked Elam all last season when he got his shot and he made a great play on Sunday. I don't know if Smith will be inactive again, but I know his participation was little this week in practice. Will EM install him back into the lineup? I rather see Elam along side of Rhodes. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Both are liabilities.If given a choice Smith is the harder hitter though he does blow coverages.Elam is the better cover man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Why not try Barrett or even Justin Miller at this point? I guess they are sure Lowery is a cb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjakecity Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think outside of Eric Mangini and maybe Eric Smith's mom, nobody wants Smith to start over Elam. For all of his faults, we are better on defense with Elam than we are with Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I always liked Elam at safety. He makes the odd boneheaded play but for the most part he's solid. Much better than Eric Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetguy32 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Elam. He is Better all the way around. Only problem is Mangini is playing favorites again and this time its eric smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I want Elam. Guy is a big hitter, and a heads up player. Problem with him is, as we saw Sunday, he is not very fast. Almost got caught from behind. Think Mangini is hanging on to Smith because he is faster, and a better athlete. Think it's time to go back to Elam.
