Scalamania Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Quote Allen Barbre wasn’t the only Philadelphia Eagles player to be released on Wednesday (story here). The team also cut defensive end Marcus Smith, according to an official announcement from the team. Howard Eskin was first to report the news. https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2017/7/26/16036490/marcus-smith-eagles-philadelphia-nfl-draft-2014-first-round-pick-bust-trade-defensive-end-roseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalamania Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Another non-surprising cut but this was long overdue. Dude has been trash since coming here - surely, he'll get another shot somewhere. I miss the days of PE trying to convince us how good Marcus Smith was and how wrong we were.

Bednarik60 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Might be a top 5 worst pick of all time for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah this one is overdue for sure. One of those players who has the athleticism to make plays, but never made plays. All the new DE talent we brought in made him completely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I was so wrong about him...I knew he was a reach, but I thought he'd be a decent 2nd/3rd rounder Ended up being a bum with a terrible attitude...Here's to hoping Barnett is the antithesis of Marcus Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We may have just cut Barbre so we could swallow the dead cap from Marcus Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yea he ranks up there pretty high on the list of busts in my lifetime. Jerome McDougle Fred Ex Danny Watkins Marcus Smith All 1st round trash in recent history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bednarik60 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think sometimes when playing linebacker, there can be a point of no return with length. He just was never that well built to be the aggressor at the POA working down hill or side line to line, i think when your arms are to long, they can fold like a accordion when stronger stouter man blocking puts his helmet/shoulder into the center of your chest.

BLick12 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Remember that one time that he beat Tyron Smith? That was funny. Anyway, no surprise here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I remember reading somewhere that a scout noting that his frame hadn't changed all that much from HS to his final year at Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
