He cant cover anyone in the flat. Play action or an audible or a check down with Smith in the game was going to be a huge problem
3-4 OLB is not meant for coverage. They are ment to rush the qb, rush the qb, rush the qb, stop the run, stop the run, rush the qb, drop into zone coverage
in that order.
There's a reason 200 lb Safeties aren't playing LB in the league; they are too damn small to take on and shed blockers. Sure a SS can come up to the line, move around and find a hole to hit; but that's not the same as getting around or through Tackles, Guards and TE's.
You're completely wrong on this one

we have 5 other olbs on the team i think. I just cant imagine one of our other guys cannot fill Smith's shoes. On top of that I'm not a fan of W. Smith the last couple years. He's been slow. He's been giving up on plays. He gasses out mid seasonish. I think we can put another OLBer there and be the same as they wouldve been if not better.
That's just my opinion.
