Bangarang Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Holding. #85. 5 yd penalty. Still 3rd down. He was called for holding twice all of last year.
KOKBILLS Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Gee, why all the snark? Smith did a good job as a blocker, which is why he was on the team. He wasn't a receiving threat, but his name was easier to spell than Remeersma or Metzelaars (both of which I had to guess at). Well... It's probably directed more at the "big contract" part than anything... Smith does a decent job at what he's asked to do...But I'm uncertain what kind of "big contract" he can receive based on what he brings...
MVJim Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 He was awful. Overrated blocker and hothead on the field. Unsportsmanlike penalties and tons of.missed snap counts both late and early. Waste of roster space I totally agree. I could never see why he was on the field. I went to the Bills-Cardinals game a few years ago in Glendale, AZ and Smith was on the filed for one play and he got an unsportsmanlike 15 yard penalty. But he outdid himself this past year when he was inactive but received a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty on a long Spiller TD run for running into an official as Smith ran down the sidelines...and Smith was not even in the game. He had hands of stone and was way overrated as a blocker. And he is going to get big $$$. The team that signs him should get a 4 game suspension for being under the influence.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 He was called for holding twice all of last year.of course. The rest were offsides.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 There isn't a roster spot for a player of his talent on a contending team IMO. He was a bad TE in a bad TE group. He's an average blocking TE that is zero threat in the passing game. You should just play an extra OL. He may be a nice guy but he is not a good football player.
Rob's House Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The only legitimate knock on the guy was that he took too many penalties. He's a very good blocking TE, but that doesn't show up on the stat sheet, so he sucks.
dezertbill Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Has to be Jacksonville Marrone must be related to the guy. With all that cap space Jacksonville signs TE Lee Smith to a 5 year $25 million contract with $15 million guaranteed! Doug Marrone is on cloud 9! Gooooooo JAGUARS!!!
Kelly the Dog Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The only legitimate knock on the guy was that he took too many penalties. He's a very good blocking TE, but that doesn't show up on the stat sheet, so he sucks. I think he was an average blocker with the reputation as a good blocker, and was an enormous liability from the TE position because he posed no threat whatsoever as a receiver, which is a very legitimate knock on him.
Dragonborn10 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Theres only 12 TE's available. Well played sir! There isn't a roster spot for a player of his talent on a contending team IMO. He was a bad TE in a bad TE group. He's an average blocking TE that is zero threat in the passing game. You should just play an extra OL. He may be a nice guy but he is not a good football player. So true! Just dress another OT. Perhaps one they spent a second round pick on last year.

He was THAT bad as a receiver. He could be defended by a DL in the passing game.

Rob's House Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 im sorry but i think he was an adequate blocker that got the title "blocking specialist" by being terribly inadequate in the passing game. I'll admit I didn't watch all-22 video this past season, but the season before I found his blocking to be well above average. Perhaps it says more about my evaluation than anything, but it appeared to me that he was a more powerful blocker and did a better job picking up his blocking assignments than most of the TEs I watched.

Compared to Scott Chandler, Chris Gragg and all 43 members of the "Ryan Neufeld Syndrome" the Bills have employed the last 15 years, yes, he was a more powerful blocker.
BuffaninATL Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 There goes one of our featured receivers. A vital cog of that dynamic 2 TE set the Bills run ....
Best Player Available Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 In just 4 years he is already closing in on 150 receiving yards total in his career. This is a player past Bills GM's would extend. He just needs to work on his YAC.
Augie Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 i wonder if terry will step in.... and push? No need...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 A vital cog of that dynamic 2 TE set the Bills run .... Maybe this means we can invite mike Williams back?
