RaidersAreOne Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm not too sure if this would be considered a major surprise cut, but Sean Smith for Oakland. Smith was a "big" FA addition last offseason after being a solid CB for KC, but was a major disappointment for Oakland last season. He simply can not cover athletic WR's. He is far too slow and not agile enough to keep up. He was eaten alive most of last season and already has struggled throughout TC and PS. He looks like one of the worst CB on the entire team. Reggie is a master at working contracts to the Raiders benefit after a year or two, so I believe if we cut Smith next year we won't have any dead money. However at this point in time I am not completely sold that he will survive that long with us. If he continues to look poor and when Conley comes back (hopefully soon from a chin injury), Smith could be pushed out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cornerback depth is pretty bad, and after watching our top corner have a dreadful game against KC on saturday, there's certainly concern regarding our back end. Not sure that the niners would be interested, but it would be worth the look for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has length and I think he understands our system (did he play in KC during Romeo Crennell's tenure in KC?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Before our game against Cincy, I'd have said Fitzmagic was looking like the odd man out at QB. Lucky for him Griffin hurt his throwing shoulder and is gonna be out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd still be a great fit for our system. I said from the start when Raider fans were asking me about him, how well Sean Smith does depends 100% on how you use him in terms of scheme and matchup. He could never cover very athletic receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been in BB's doghouse all camp, didnt get game 1 off with other starters, and doesn't seem to be performing well in practice. Heres a Mike Reiss synopsis: Quote "He has an opportunity to emerge at left end with Ninkovich's retirement, but it was telling watching Wednesday's walk-through practice and seeing him working mostly with the backups and end-of-roster players. Something hasn't seemed to click with Ealy and the Patriots. When I've watched him, he hasn't consistently gotten off blocks. Once thought by some to be a roster lock, it now seems safe to say he's in a legitimate fight to earn a spot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could never cover very athletic receivers. It doesn't help him that he has a very poor DC in Norton. Tbh Norton could be shown the door halfway through the season too if the D continues to suck. We brought in ex- Charger DC John Pagano as an assistant coach. It is very well known that Norton could be JDR's scapegoat and replace him with Pagano the second Norton is fired. Back to Smith, something has to change. He started to improve slightly later in the year but is definitely not worth what he is getting paid.

Hunter2_1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 We could be cutting Dion Lewis. We have a plethora of Running Backs with no outright leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Is Kony Ealy the Patroit who hasn't shown up to some practices (or some of camp, something like that), and said it was because, "Bill and I have something worked out. It's cool." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea "On the training camp field for the first time on Friday, Patriots defensive end Kony Ealy said it was not an injury that kept him off the field for yesterday’s opening day of camp. “No, just something that.. you'd have to ask coach Bill [Belichick] — me and him had something going on or whatever,” Ealy, slightly stammering while looking for the right answer, offered when asked about his absence." Take from that what you will. I think he's been reprimanded for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
