isn't the primary job of a 3-4DE to run stop...? wasn't he extremely horrible even in doing that? correct me if I'm wrong.
Sort of. Their primary job is drawing double teams and keeping the lb's clean. Smith is easily handled by one blocker.

I think it may be this as much as anything... It's gonna cost $millions to cut him. If ya can keep him for a minimal amount more than that ya might as well and get some reps outta him.

Whether or not smith will prove successful in the 3-4 is not of no interest to me personally. I want to move on from the smith/vilma era period. We can't afford to keep wasting another year and another year blah blah on old players who shouldn't be starting. This defense will not get over the hump until we inject some new youthful playmakers in those spots. Can't do that if these roster spots are being clogged up by old turds. It may take a season or two to find the playmakers to fill that roll. IMO it's these guys and a few others that are holding this team back.

It's the classic "well he's not that good of a pass rusher anymore so he must be better suited for a 3-4 now theory". It's bullshite, Will Smith does not take up blocks, like paddy said he gets handled and overpowered all the time. He's not super against the run. I don't like the veteran on the team cause I think coach will tend to play him more than deserved to be honest.
