Are we really going full melt mode over a guy whom everyone said how terrible he was?

great minds think a like baw.

Smith would’ve made the line stable with an incoming dline coach

doesnt explain 90 % of the rant saying hes a bust all year.

Like I posted in another thread, until late in the bowl game, I would have been fine with him leaving. But, then he showed me that maybe he was turning the corner and could shine next year.

Oh well, will never know.

Show me someone on roster who is better. We’re rolling with 4 defensive tackles right now. So yea you’re goddamn right I’m melting

if you can replace him with someone just as good in the portal why does it matter?

he had less than 2.5 tackles a game. I think we will be alright.

He’s a large DT, how many do you want him to get?

Poor recruiting at DT by Kelly. Even if you think you’re gonna retain your DTs, which he thought he would, you still recruit like they’re going pro

Not me! I just poured a 3 finger bourbon!

Jefferson was pretty large and a backup most the year and he had 36 tackles compared to Maason’s 27. They had the same amount of sacks. Wingo started 4 less games and had 2 more sacks and 2 less tackles. I would want him to produce at least somewhere in that rate.
Would I want him back? Yes. Are we losing even average production from last year? No.

edit: just referring to smith in loss of production. Losing jefferson and wingo hurt more.

Ive got no reason to melt. He was ok but never grew to his potential. Baker will recruit to replace and reload.
