I know he was a liability in coverage but he was still our best run defending OLB and was decent enough at rushing the passer
Roman harper can do all those things, with vaccaro and jenkins playing safety

This hurts our team a great deal more than it helps
I'll just have to agree to disagree with you there. I dont think he was that big of an asset. And he didnt bring anything irreplaceable to the table. Smith gets tired and gives up. He's been doing it for a couple of seasons now.

Roman Harper can not do the thing Smith was going to be asked to do at OLB.

I agree he can do those things but it's not from the same spot. He's come down in the box as the 8th guy and could find the hole. As a LBer he'd be getting blocked by bigger guys way more often.
Could he do it in pass downs and as spot duty? Sure, but Smith was doing it every down.

Roman Harper at OLB?!!!
And people are saying the loss of Will Smith will not hurt this defense
If nothing else, it's one less body and AT LEAST $7.5M in cap space eatten up.
Who the hell are we going to replace him with and with what money? Our middle line backers made a few plays because our DL was able to occupy the OL. Someone like Harper will get pushed 6 yards into the defensive backfield.
