He was still a rookie and injured on top of it.I think that having Sean Lee as a fellow LB can only help Smith with the NFL learning curve. i hope this year sees him make big strides. The Rams game last year, in particular, was brutal to watch.
It wasn't a knee brace. It was an ankle AFO. Much worse on your movement.It probably helps that he isn't wearing the brace, I've worn knee braces off and on for over thirty years and they do limit you. His lateral movement looks more like his college days, even if it is practice without pads.
One positive is, he won't even be a RFA until 2020 so the team will have two seasons to see what they have.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not. It sounds like something Jerry or Stephen would say.I look forward to him and Vander Esch being the best LBer combo in the NFL...
Half and half. In terms of potential I'm not a team has 2 LBers with more. But we all know that sometimes potential never translates to the NFL.I can't tell if you're kidding or not. It sounds like something Jerry or Stephen would say.
Ah, I lost track. Yeah, something like that would definitely impede movement.It wasn't a knee brace. It was an ankle AFO. Much worse on your movement.
IMO, that's putting the cart before the horse. One had a solid "rookie" year last year and the other is a true rookie. Maybe in the future but I would set my sights lower this coming year unless you're talking about further down the road.I look forward to him and Vander Esch being the best LBer combo in the NFL...
I'm talking about down the road when Sean Lee is probably retired.IMO, that's putting the cart before the horse. One had a solid "rookie" year last year and the other is a true rookie.

It would have been nice to see someone else doing the same drill right after him, just as a comparison. But he definitely looks better. Looks bulked up, too.Thought he looked pretty darn good starting/stopping/changing direction once he was done with that first drill with the cones. From the :28 second mark where he has the resistance bands on, he looked like he belongs. Vastly different than last year.
I hope he's ready soon because I think Sean Lee is near the end of the road, he'll be 32 when this season starts. Very smart player but I question how much longer he can handle the job physically. I could see him as a LB coach when the time comes and would welcome that move. I think he would make an excellent coach, very smart, very knowledgeable.I'm talking about down the road when Sean Lee is probably retired.
Funny you don't say stuff like that about Barkley...We don't know shit about LVE yet.
He could be Bobby Carpenter Part Deux.
He was an elite player in college over multiple years at a major university.Funny you don't say stuff like that about Barkley...
High school?He was an elite player in college over multiple years at a major university.
LVE was playing 8 man football in bum fucked not long ago.
