He might be an awesome pass rusher but the rest of the league was right to pass on drafting him because he did not rack up enough personal statistics while Georgia was going 29-1, winning 2 titles, and demolishing everyone on D.

Just stop and appreciate that Howie not only used two 1st round picks and didn't trade out of the 1st round, but used them both on DEFENSE.  Very excited for Nolan Smith to see what he can do.

So pleased with this. Howie had neglected the D in the draft for a long time. Last couple of years have really helped though and finally in Davis, Dean, Carter, Smith, Brown and Ringo we finally have some exciting young talent on D.

Pretty incredible how much talent he brought in during such a short amount of time.

Reddick can help sharpen Nolan's pass rush arsenal .. and maybe Nolan can show Reddick how to play the run 🙂 As elite as Reddick is as an edge rusher ... he leaves a lot to be desired playing the run and dropping into coverage. Smith has a chance to be a "complete" player, not just a pass rush specialist.

I think Brandon Graham is going to be a role model for Nolan to continue his progression into a pro bowl, complete nfl player with a team first attitude.

My man-cursh on this dude keeps growing.

What a guy. Think he could be a star in the future. Glad we got him!

After watching that I'm with you.    Sounds like he has a great head on his shoulders. 

"-Rookie first-round pick Nolan Smith had an impressive session and was able to show off his unique skill set because of Reddick’s absence. Mainly playing as an overhang player coming off the left side, Smith showed his ability to generate pressure on one play and quickly followed that with solid coverage skills against Dallas Godert and Boston Scott.”

When Smith really starts to understand the NFL he’s going to be a heck of a player for the Eagles.

Good thing the Giants didn't get him

I don't know who this "Matt" is but I've seen several posts about these exact situations beating Driscoll, Lane, being in sack situations (they don't allow actually sacking the QB in camp).

Matt Collins?

 

And how does he force a fumble on Mariota if he can't touch the qb? Or is he just that good?

He beat Lane for a sack? F’in Nick Bosa can’t even do that.

Sounds like the Georgia Boys want some big boy rings

And Lane wasn’t even healthy when Bosa played him.

Happy to see the rookie get his first career sack. Hopefully this means he gets more time out there. I’d rather see him get opportunities over some of the other guys.

It was a nice sack that! Although what I would say is man did he look small. At first I thought he was like a DB on the blitz.

Most players would look smaller compared to O-linemen. 

4 snaps and 1 sack. Thats a pretty good percentage!

Not bad, not bad at all. Hopefully he’ll get more snaps as the year goes on.
