Bearerofnews Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) That Aldon Smith wasn't out of the league for 5 years.... comes right back and leads the league in sacks. I know it's early, but still. Pay homage to a potentially great retribution story. Edited September 29, 2020 by Bearerofnews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman5252 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 He isn’t going to play Seattle’s OL every week, but it is a great story. People forget he was a Mack level game wrecker (31 sacks year 1/2... then went awall) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Aldon has always had the talent so its nice to see that despite being out of football for a long period of time, he is still able to play at a high level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's early, but still. Pay homage to a potentially great retribution story. No one is pretending anything. Aldon could and probably would have been a HOF pass rusher if he wasnt a complete idiot. His talent has never been questioned. I give him credit, for sure, but lets see if he can go the rest of this season and next offseason without doing something stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't think people realize how bat sh*t crazy it is for him to be this good after not playing for FIVE seasons. And it's not only that, but even the prior two seasons he played (14/15), he was battling alcohol issues and was not close to the player he was in his first three seasons in the league. If he continues this for the rest of the season, it will be one of the most wild and impressive stories of all time. Aldon is an all time talent and a freak of nature. Finally sober and seemingly over his demons, he still has a chance to get one solid contract before he hangs it up for good. Rooting for him hard even though I dislike the Cowboys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 He's always been a special talent. I hope he can keep his life on a good track from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Once upon a time, he was considered the best defensive player from that 2011 draft - a draft that produced guys such as Von Miller, Patrick Peterson, JJ Watt and Richard Sherman. So, it's not too shocking to see him rise to this level. It's still some shock given his situation, but that's all the more reason to cheer for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is there, but being out of the league/football and coming back after 5 years and still being your dominant self is pretty amazing. The fact more teams didn't line up for him when he wanted to return is wild to me through given the risk/reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I noticed Aldon Smith was back and getting sacks. Good return story so far. Also was surprised to see Dion Jordan racking up a sack for the 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
