Quote:  When I watch Telvin Smith,  another former FSU LB comes to mind in terms of what Smith reminds me of when he's at or near his best:   Derrick Brooks.  

 

  Once the Jaguars know what direction the team is going in for the 2017 season regarding coaching,   that would be a good time to open contract negotiations with Telvin Smith if the team brass at the time believe he's a good fit for the system.    With all of the Jags salary cap space,  if the team wants to keep Smith,   it should happen.

 

  Mike Peterson was enjoyable to watch playing LB.    Bill Polian is a HOF GM but he probably wishes that he would have found a way for the Colts to retain him.

 

I'll be honest I don't remember much about Brooks, I never did watch much of the Bucs. Either way it'd be hard to find a situation where he wouldn't fit the system here, he's making all these plays when nobody else is without coaching. I brought up the question as to what he could do with great coaching so I hope they find a way to keep him no matter what. Peterson was also MLB who is supposed to be everywhere, Telvin is doing it from OLB which I personally think is more impressive.
