re: A breakdown of Will Smith's snaps against the Raiders.

quote:

-1st and 10. Smith is playing SAM. Drops back into coverage and takes away the immediate throw to the TE in the area. Flynn scrambles and Smith leaves the TE and goes in pursuit. Flynn completes the pass to the TE for 7 yards.

I remember that play. I kept thinking, "He's too slow keep up with the TE who was behind him and too slow to go after the QB who was rolling out."

When he drops into coverage, he looks like the fat out of shape guy on a flag football team who they keep telling to play zone and count to 10 Mississippi because he's too slow to actually cover anyone.
