    I feel like Smalls is taking some unnecessary heat here. He hasn't been amazing but he's played solid for the 7? games he's played

    No he hasnt. And he's behind McDonald who also has done nothing
    I'm sure you know this but ill remind you that for most plays as a defensive player you don't want to be noticed. 81% of the time you get noticed on defence by screwing up.

    Last year he was noticeably around the qb alot which bodes well
    Bullshit.

    No he wasn't. And in the games he started (Furd) he was driven off the ball 50 yards by the OT.

    We had this debate in the offseason. All his tackles averaged to 4.5 yards down the field. As a DE that means youvd lost contain. Think he is looking for sack number 1 as well.

    He will get better and I hope he gets a lot better, but in 7 games he is currently a JAG

    You seem to be confusing DL with OL?

    Hope this helps.

    Well I agree with what you said. I think he's been solid overall though and I could see him still getting it to another level this year
