How do you know this? Cam Jordan wasn't commanding double teams either. That wasn't their job before. Smith seemed to hold up pretty well playing some 3-4 end for Gregg Williams. Funny how you all keep ignoring this fact.

smith's job before was rushing the passer as a 4-3DE, right? If he couldn't beat someone 1v1 as a rusher and was pushed back often during run plays last year, how are you going to prove to me he can handle double teams in a 3-4?

He played 3-4end in GW's scheme occasionally, not majority of the time, and he hasn't done it even that well since the 09 season! I've watched him get beat the last couple of years and doesn't demand a double team because most tackles can handle him 1v1 with ease. Hell when he was shifted to 4-3 DT on some plays he still got beat.

It's about to be 4 years later, he's getting old and costs too much to be effective. he's taking away reps from younger blood that could be more impressive. Not worth it, veteran leadership did us jack shite last year.
