2011 NFL free agency and trade thread
Lunatic:
Infinite, can you give me more insight on DT Shaun Smith? Titans signed him away from the Chiefs. At a glance, his numbers don't jump out at you, but I've heard some pretty big things. I visited a Chiefs message board and fans seemed angry to lose him. They said he's a BIG guy in the middle whose an absolute run stuffer.
What's your take?
OG Jaydc:
Jets are actually about ten million under the cap this season

You asked the right person, I can tell you a lot... he was a popular player here. The Chiefs wanted to resign him.
-He's a classic over-achiever. He beat out a young, 3rd year guy (Tyson Jackson) at his spot on the D-line who was signed to a $60 Million Dollar contract! While Sean Smith was barely even signed for $1 Million when he was hear with the Chiefs. So basically all the cards were stacked against him being a starter when he came here, and yet he consistently over-achieved and outperformed higher paid competition. Tyson Jackson wasn't the only player he beat out, there were other better paid players in the mix who couldn't get onto the field cause Sean Smith was holding it down!
-His numbers on tackles should be pretty good. Without looking at anything, I seem to remember him being a guy who had a knack for the ball and was in on most plays. The defense the Chiefs run just asks the D-line to hold their position, so they aren't really allowed to go after plays, but still Sean Smith managed to hold his position and still make plays.
-Also, he is a nasty competitor. I'm surprised you haven't heard the stories of him getting fined for going after guys balls at the bottom of the pile. He's that type of dude that does crazy shit like that to get in the head of the other team and take them off their game. He's a nasty player and whatever he lacks in talent he will make up for in downright nastiness.
-You got a player you will not be dissapointed with. He will find a way to do his job no matter what it takes. Not a superstar talent-wise, but definitely a dependable guy you want down in the trenches of a tough game.
-Also a good locker room guy, kind of a prankster in the clubhouse, and good for interviews. Fans and teammates love the guy, and coaches love him too. He's not about his own numbers, but sacrificing for his team and doing what it takes to win.

Some might say the same thing about the eagles. And Woody Johnson is a big time billionaire.

I simply don't think Haley can run his offense with that team. I say bring Marty back and let him HC then try and get McDaniels to get out of CSt Louis and back with Cassel. That team would be AFC West Champ for the next 4 years.

Marty is my all-time favorite head coach, it's a shame no team has been trying to pick him up. He ended up going to coach for some for some minor league football team this year.

Marty does NOT win in the playoffs that's why no nfl team is picking him up. You got Jerry Springer Jones left to hire him. Marty should try the minor leagues or college, maybe he'll have a chance of winning a championship there.
