If someone steps up to aid Smoot's absence it will have to be Gotsis, the one DL left on the PS, or a street FA. 
There aren't really any other DTs left that aren't already getting significant rotational snaps. 

(Smoot plays mostly at 3-4 DE or DT in 4-3 looks. Not a ton of snaps outside)

Can't they still sign a DT from a different teams practice squad instead of going after a street FA?

Yes, that is an option. 

I think they'll forge ahead with Gotsis unless Fatukasi is going to be out for more than next Sunday.

Losing Smoot dampens this NY win for most of us.  That just tells you how important he is.  It would be nice if there was a way for the team get him back to whole.

Totally

 JRob may not be the same player he was before the injury. Maybe that’s why he was traded, and why he’s not playing. Coming back from that injury, most are not the same.

He was averaging like 6 yards per carry  after the injury for a few games, so I don't think that is the case

Edit- Reading through, I see it IS the turf. Such crap, why doesn’t the Players union do something about that?

They have been trying for five years to do something about it, where have you been?

(this may have started during your little boycott)
