Yea he's a 3rd rounder and you're acting like he was a 1st round pick..

Them and about 4-5 other DTs that are active on game day as well..

Are you really trying to make an argument that they should have taken Ngakoue, Fowler, or Campbell off the field, because they aren't better than Smoot or something?

I don't understand why you're reaching and so bent out of shape about this. Smoot was a 3rd round pick with some developmental upside, who is only in his 2nd year and has been on a stacked DL.. Only so many reps that can go around.

And there's zero chance that he's going to be cut btw lol.

Haters gonna hate.  Dude gets his thrills bashing Jags and labeling everyone homers that don't share his negative opinions.  Whatever. That's his thing. He's consistent anyway. 

The fact of the matter is that we haven't seen enough meaningful sample from Smoot this season to accurately gauge his progress. Sunday was a positive flash. Maybe he'll build on that. We don't know yet. I hope so. 

Similar deal with Bryan. Those totally writing him off right now are fools IMO - even if they turn out to be right. The list of D-Linemen that didn't hit their stride until year three is a long one in this league. I'll continue to exercise patience with these young linemen.  If they turn out to be nothing more than good depth in a productive rotation it will be disappointing - but they'll still be valuable.
