Will Smith- lot of video

My opinion.

Corey White got abused a lot in zone coverage but looks to have what it takes to play man coverage. He doesn't look as bad as we've made him seem.


As far as Will Smith..its like man you are arguing the same thing most of us know but then taking it a step further.

Its been painfully obvious that last 2-3 years that Will Smith was no longer an elite edge rusher as a RDE. The two most important positions in the 4-3 are RDE and 3TEch because thats where ur pressure is expected to come from. Blindside & up the middle.

With that being said...Will Smith is still a good veteran player. The move to the 3-4 will remove him from being our edge player and put Galette or Tez on the field on the edge. Yes Will Smith's contract is not a good indicator of his play but thats the purpose for them restructuring. If we can get him@ a reasonable price then im all for keeping him. Especially since he isn't being asked to be the edge rusher in a 4-3 anymore.

Hes played in a scheme like this under 3G b4 and was productive...not elite but productive. There are more positives to keeping him @ a reasonable price then outright releasing him.

He still could be released by training camp for all we know if other guys end up showing better but above all he offers a veteran presence and leadership and SOLID play. Doeesn't hurt to keep him for 1 more year as a ROTATIONAL player.
