He was also credited with 15 tackles.Wow.A fourth rounder has 15 tackles in his rookie year?Very impressive.
Also fun to see the other young guns on defense.Two weeks in a row they held the opposing team to 13 points.

I think he was a fifth round pick.
He looks like an absolute steal. High energy, all over the field, can run, can tackle, he looks reeeeal gooood.
5th rounder, not 4th. Makes it even better.
Hopefully we can get him some help and find another good LB or two.

And a nose for the ball. When he reaches his ceiling, he won't look like a fifth round pick.
He already looks better than his draft position would suggest....

which means David Caldwell knows how to find talent in the later rounds.

Anyone with half a brain would have taken him (which doesn't say much about the other 31 GMs).
Telvin Smith had 2nd round talent coming out of college. He was #1 on my wish list before the 4th round started. Of course Colvin was a better 4th round pick because CB is more important than 4-3 LB, so Caldwell did better than I would have. It's good to have a GM who picks the best players.

Watching the game, I'm not surprised. He seemed to be making every other tackle.
Telvin is a building block on this defense. The way that guy is making plays right now, shows us that the future is bright. I'm excited to see these young guys develop. Better days are coming to Jacksonville if Caldwell continues to bring in good talent and steal a couple more draft picks in the later rounds.
Telvin good. Colvin good. Marks good. Chris smith and Ryan Davis good. McCray good.
Got some good football players on d. One or two will regress but hopefully one or two take the leap to be great.

Yes. Chris Smith, IMO, is playing really well!
Man next year could be exciting if the online gets fixed. I'm so excited to see what this D can become!
Telvin wasn't EVERYWHERE. Anybody that watches football should know that Telvin Smith plays linebacker. If he was everywhere, he would obviously be covering wide receivers, catching passes, and playing QB.

He was everywhere on the field. "Everywhere" does not mean playing all 22 positions.
Most players who wear #50 are linebackers, so that is pretty easy to remember.

Whoosh
He's earning these tackles. It isn't like when some players are taken advantage of so they have inflated stats because they're being targeted. He's going after the ball and stopping the play.

How could he possibly be everywhere? Last I checked, human beings can only be in one place at a time. Telvin Smith #50 was only in one place: outside linebacker.
