Gene Smith was a former NFL scout, too, do you trust his assessments?

Just because you know someone, you might be able to get your foot in the door. If you stink out loud at the job though, you end up in the blogosphere. Remind me who the Jest have ever hit on?

You're getting too attached and overly emotional about an assessment I see. 

Look, just pointing out the obvious when it came to Travon Walker as a rookie. His assessment, for better or worse, was pretty spot on about him coming out of college. Better run defender, raw pass rusher, plays better with his hands in the dirt instead of upright. 

He was looking at maximizing his potential there already coming out of college by suggesting he should have been a 4 - 3 DT. That's it. No need to dig up the past, or say "Well he's missed 1,000 times on X, Y & Z". It's a dumb argument or point to throw out there. 

People play the lottery everyday and never hit. People sometimes get lucky and win it multiple times. [BLEEP] happens. No need to get your panties in a bunch, Mikey. 

But, for the record? Not sure when that guy was a scout for the Jets. Matter of fact, that's the first time I ever heard of him or seen an article written by him. I don't follow him. I caught that article in a tweet that he posted in regards to Tony Pauline's remarks on Nolan Smith. 

Happy Hump Day!
