BABYLON 5 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 If somebody put there hands on one of my sister's I'm gonna put hands and feet on him to. If thats what happened,He supposedly did it a month ago why press charges now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydFan Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I would think the team knew about the possibility of this already. Would think they wait till things are more concrete before an actual cut. Don't want to end up in a Lucky Whitehead situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm pretty sure if we cut him he's going back to KC and starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was generally serviceable, nowhere near as bad as people made out. But we weren't paying him to be serviceable, so that's why it's a problem.

raidersedge Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I wouldn't cut him. Every team needs depth and CBs are hard to find, Smith may not be great but one other injury to the secondary and we're in trouble. If its true Smith was just defending his sister I can't see how he's guilty of any wrong doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Smith has allowed under a 60% completion rate for something like every year of his career. That's crazy consistency. You don't cut that until you're sure he's done, especially on a full salary guarantee, which isn't after game 1 of the preseason. As for this case, I don't have enough facts to say. Obviously if he did what he did and it was unwarranted, he'll be cut. I think there's more to the story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 No sense in cutting him if you can't get any money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he is cut has nothing to do with if it was warranted. You're not allowed to take revenge and inflict bodily harm on someone unless life is in immediate danger. IF he is convicted of assault he is cut. Bottom line. We may believe the guy had it coming and in our opinion his action is warranted but the law and personal conduct code are different than opinion. The real thing of concern here is that he now has to things pulling him down and making it hard to focus. His struggle on the edge vs speedy receiving options and the case.

What I mean is if he caught her abusing his sister, which might qualify as "immediate danger", no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I wouldn't cut him, because we need the depth, but he's only going to get slower as he continues to age. Ideally, he'll be used to shadow TE's on passing downs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It might. It just wasn't clear from what you said that is how you meant it. There is also the fact that stopping an attack and doling out a beating that includes "stomping someones head" may exceed excruciating yourself from immediate danger. The DA obviously thing something along those lines or they wouldn't have brought charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, he'll be used to shadow TE's on passing downs I agree here. We already paid him and if he can fit in the scheme and provide depth at that hybrid S/LB position along with Obi, it makes are team that much more versatile and prepared for injuries.
