Redskins Add Another Offensive Lineman (Chris Campbell)...Everyone Rejoices

[MTK]

Perhaps a case of fans expecting too much too soon from Smith. Hopefully he can make the team and continue to develop.

I'm lost as to what he thinks fans were expecting in regards to Smith?

And I wonder which position is he talking about LT/RT and who are the people ahead of him?


I remember that Smith got banged up last week or a couple weeks ago.
I respect John Keim but I don't consider Smith getting beat in practice by Kerrigan and Wilson reason enough to explain why he isn't at least in competition for the back-up LT spot.
I'm sure every OL has been beat more then a few times in practice.

If Smith is healthy, I expect him to play around the same level he played last year when he played equally as well at LT as Polumbus played at RT.

I wasn't talking about Keim's take, I was just saying in general perhaps we were expecting too much out of Smith. Truth is he was an UDFA and is still a work in progress.

My bad dude, now that I look at it my post is more a response to Keim's statements then a response to your post.

I should just e-mail Keim because I don't understand his take on Willie Smith and I want to.

Imo Smith should be as important a piece of our OL picture as Polumbus.

No prob

Just email him or hit him up on twitter, he's pretty good about responding

Yeah he got banged up a couple of weeks ago when he got abused by Rob Jackson.
