    I was surprised they kept him at OLB from the start. Same size as UG3 and Bush. They should have transitioned him to ILB from the get go. I'm not surprised they were trying him at FB, the fit at OLB is not there and it was obvious from the start imo.

    So you're saying that the positions of bus driver and Barrista on the team have been filled. AWESOME.

    Bus driver: Vince Williams
    Barrista : Sutton Smith

    All they need to find is someone to hold Danny Smith's gum

    He will go to the PS. Missed too much time and Skipper passed him on the depth chart

    After watching him, I'm not sure Smith can be an every down 3-4 OLB. Way too weak against the run but I think there is something there as a situational pass rusher.

    A year on the PS may prove very beneficial. Dirty Red looks stronger and actually quicker this year (not on PS, but looks like NFL weight training has helped as his body matures). Not saying he is starter material, but looks (at least in pre) like a more accomplished player.

    Skipper also said he would be the janitor.
