What is the opinion on him through his first 3 games?
Dude doesn't have much hustle.
Looks like he is just moping around to me. No real burst or suddenness at all.

He is good, just has not taken that Glen dorsey elite step yet. He gets a lot of double teams.

Needs to come off the bench and let the 100% healthy guys start the game until he is 100%.

He's finally on the field and it's not easy. He needs to find another gear that JJ99 has found.

Wasn’t double teamed once. He’s awful.

Extremely disappointing. I can’t recall a single play he’s made all year. Granted, he faces many double teams. This defense needs him to play like an all American. Maason has to step up

He may be playing "scared" because his injuries, hesitant plus out of condition.

I don’t think he has fully recovered from his injury.

Definitely eats a lot of doubles. But he wasn’t 100% in Fall Camp and wasn’t a full go for Offseason S&C and-again-is playing his way into football shape.

He will continue to get better as the season wears on.

A little too much hate without enough context here.

He most definitely was double teamed multiple times during the run, and he was on skates going backwards. I agree with what you said

He looked pudgy and out of shape from where I could see him last night. A big boy like that probably hard to get back in playing shape after injury

Out of HS, I had a ton of excitement about the kid, so much so I thought he'd become our next Dorsey... well, to say I was wrong is an understatement...

Jordan Jefferson needs to start and get the majority of the snaps. Smith can be rotated in when JJ needs a break and maybe we'd see improvements from Smith with eventually getting back to game speed (and maybe he'd have more of a burst playing sparingly rather than wearing down so fast playing the majority of the game when he is not really ready to do that).

So I blame the coaches there. I'm just curious as to what they are seeing in practice. Is Smith really dominant in practice or what are they seeing to justify starting him, etc.?

Does he get another year to find it?

ALL about getting MS back to full speed and strength, but Jefferson and Wingo can be VERY good as a DT tandem. Hope to see more of that pairing vs OM.

Right now his is a good depth player. But he’s not anywhere close to as dominant and he was hyped to be and shouldn’t be starting over Jefferson. I was at the game. He’s often the last player off the ground, always requiring someone to help him up.
