I love Smith, but I doubt he gets much bigger (at least not without PEDs). Just look at his frame — he’s close to maxed out and his best attribute is speed.

If he spends all offseason lifting and eating, he can maybe put on 10 quality pounds in the offseason, 5 of which will be fat that he then has to cut.

He’ll be fine playing most of the season around 235.

Meh, Trent Cole was 243 when drafted , he bulked up to 265-270 in two off seasons.

I don't think Smith has to bulk up that much to be effective but if he can get closer to 250 that probably wouldn't hurt him.

It was my fault.  I put the mush on Rojas and it all unraveled from there.

Rojas was bad on that play. But lorenzen shouldn’t completely unravel like he did.

Yeah but I’ve watched the Phillies long enough to seen this before. Have a big inning. Give it all back the next half inning then not score the rest of the game.

He also bad. 

I'd say he is slightly below mediocre but he gets a free pass for the 2 plays he made in the NFCCG and the SB.

He's the last DE on the team depth chart at best at this point.

Bijan looks like he’ll be fun

He's listed at 238 right now.  I think adding 10 lbs should be achieveable without a loss of speed.  I believe he's got room to grow a bit and get stronger, he's still only 21.  His body will do a little more maturing in the next couple years.

That was his combine weight, which was his biggest physical question mark. No doubt he put in the work to bulk up and be in peak physical shape. He’s going to play lighter than that. Again, just look at his frame from the combine — he’s not a naturally big guy (by NFL standards). His frame is close to maxed out.

Also, he’s 22 years old FWIW.

It's a shame Koy Detmer Jr never got a shot in the pros.  He had the look of a champion like his dad.

The Browns broadcast team on the radio was quite happy with how Dawand Jones acquitted himself against Nolan Smith.  I thought I heard Smith got a couple of QB pressures?  Was the matchup pretty even?

Cole was a lot bigger naturally. Look at pictures of their shoulders — Trent is significantly wider. Also, I remember something weird about Trent Cole not being able to eat much in college, but my memory is fuzzy on the details so could be wrong on that.

I think Smith will play in the 230-235 range. That’s fine — he’s a pass rushing LB and won’t be expected to anchor on the LOS. He’s not going to win by overpowering OTs — he’s a speed guy.

He definitely had some pressures. Jones is a good player, and it’s not like Smith played a full game. I have no concerns about Smith being able to develop into an effective starting pass rusher. He has special movement skills.

I never log in anymore. I'm going to just this time to show you guys something so insanely disrespectful by James Jones I had to share. (10:32 if it doesn't load properly for anyone)
 

"There's not one throw that you can say 'dang that was a heck of a throw by Jalen Hurts'".

I. Hoo boy. They need to get this guy's clown ass off TV. I haven't read the blog to see if this was posted before, so if it was, sorry. But holy crap that was some of the most bananas Jalen Hurts hate I've heard yet. Even some of his biggest detractors on the board wouldn't say crap that insane.

Just a little off topic quick on Shady. 
 

I have to give Shady a lot of credit as a person. Without giving too much information away, I’m a youth football coach in the Harrisburg area, and Shady came out to our scrimmage last weekend because he has family on our youngest age level team. Every single person who asked for a picture, he said yes and smiled. He didn’t turn anyone away and was super nice to everyone. Just wanted to give him props.

Well, you can make the case Hurts doesn't make the "wow" throws of the guys with cannons, but neither did Montana or Steve Young.

Favre used to make "wow" plays to receivers in both uniforms.

James Jones is an idiot…and not just because of this particular take.  He’s just not the sharpest tool in the shed

You can see for yourself. Smith wasn't perfect but he was pretty darn good for his second game. A lot to be excited about. 

Did I beat the game?

SO these shows are all about getting you to  tune in. SO people GIVE HOT TAKES, because even negative attention helps their show. People make hot takes to get pub. 

Not one show on today just gives you real football talk, or any real sports talk. NOT ONE. 

 

It's why I stopped watching them long time ago
