Ran into an old Bears fan from way back....nfoligno. We both
got stuck under the stadium (lookup Allen High School) during a
rain delay at a high school football game last night. Both our
kids are HS juniors.
We agreed on most everything about the last 2 games especially
the need to emphasize Howard more in the offense. We disagreed
on one thing though.
Kevin White.

Yeah they are saying that Smith hits with a thud, and I think
once he gets into game shape he is going to shine. Which really
ticks me off that the douche held out of TC.....

We don't know the details of the contract discussion but you do
know that Mack held out of OTAs AND training camp - is he a
douche too?
On the bright side - Smith really reduced his chances of a
serious injury by missing all that practice and preseason game
time.

Good analysis.
I expect Smith to move ahead quickly. His weakness was always
going to be taking on blockers at 230 pounds.
Maybe in the offseason he'll put on ten pounds. Most rookies
hit the weight room as their college physique is not an NFL
physique.

Nfoligno ever consider coming back to the boards?

He had to leave because his work blocked our website. But that
could have been World Crossing...or even the one before that.
Damn, some of have been here for a long time.
I need to dig up his email and re-invite him.

I think Macks issue and Smiths issue are not in the same
category. And Mack seems to have come in and performed rather
well. Roquan, hamstring limitations.

ILB and safety are probably the most cerebral positions on
defense. Was Smith affected by missing most of training camp?
Yes. Though hamstrings can happen to ANYBODY at ANYTIME, he
probably pushed it an he was definitely hurt by lack of
experience in game situations with the defense.
Will all this be forgotten in a couple more games? Yes.

R. Smith already looks like the real deal to me. I am more
worried about Mitch.
Nfoligno was a great board member dallas you need to try to get
him back. Our boards have been fading. I remember posting as a
23 yr old graduate student. Hell I am 43 with two teenage
children. Been on these boards a long time with you guys.
