Nzoner's Game Room>Sean Smith loses starting CB job
The Franchise 12:27 PM 08-17-2017
NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports Raiders CB Sean Smith has lost his job to T.J. Carrie.

This started to happen at the beginning of camp, and now it looks official. Signed to a four-year, $40-million contract last March, Smith rebounded somewhat after being burnt to a crisp and benched his first game with the Raiders, but things have apparently not improved this offseason. He is still seeing snaps in nickel packages, but that may change once first-rounder Gareon Conley (leg) returns to health.

They are down a starting CB...makes my heart warm.
Ken Norton Jr must not be all that smart. He has some good, physical press corners and he had them play off all last year, and looks like he's starting with the same crap this year.

I'm really hoping KNJ gets demoted/booted and we move Pagano into the DC role.

Free agency sucks balls, big reason why I don't give a shit about it. Players just wanna be played. Don't give me that Peyton Manning shit either, one in a million type player.

I sometimes wonder how good some coaches are about combining talent and scheme. You can pick up a talented player in free agency, but if he doesn't fit your scheme he's going to underperform. It seems like a simple concept, but I have to think that it's why some players appear to fail in free agency (or for that matter, the draft) when they were initially thriving.

No, Norton is ass...they had to bring in Pagano to cover for him.

Del Rio isn't a championship level coach...never has been. They already axed Musgrave...I guess they didn't want to fire both coordinators in the same off-season. These are Junk Del Rio's hires....

24th pick overall Ohios CB Gareon Conley was drafted to replace that stiff Smith... And he's looked great in camp.. little nicked up now but he's back at practice...

**** off...he hasn't even practiced this entire camp.

He looks good riding an exercise bike?

I hope Oakland puts a rookie CB out there with no training camp...

At least knowmo is useful.

You're just a butt-fucking idiot, cumdumpman.

Between raping women and riding a stationary bike, ol' Gayreon hasn't had time to practice.

OK name me big-bodied cornerbacks who are or were any good past the age of 30. Will you?

Sean Smith has just turned 30.
