lostnmexico Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 DeAngelo Smith just released by Chicago. Drafted by Dallas, then claimed by Clevland, and Chicago. Guy was a playmaker in college. Might be worth a look. We can sign him to the practice squad and not have to waive a player either to check him out a see whats up!TEAM: Chicago Bears HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6'0' / 191 DOB: 7/17/1986 AGE: 23 COLLEGE: Cincinnati Smith was strictly a cornerback at Cincinnati, but the Cowboys envision both him and Alan Ball as a versatile enough to also handle safety. An option to return punts, he'll concentrate mostly on special teams as a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a problem when every team that you have signed with Waives you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostnmexico Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yep. You are right J Madd. Sounds just like Middleton. Whats wrong with another tryout? He is bigger than what we have. We have guys like Middleton on the team already!TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have guys like Middleton on the team already!TBWe dont have Middleton anymore he was signed to a 53 man roster in Jacksonville off of our PS. We would have kept Middleton on the PS, because we were confident the kid has talent. Smith was originally drafted by the Cowboys and they didnt even want to sign him to their PS. It really is not a good sign when he is realeased into the season, especially the way the Browns have been playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoTFan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 He's a rookie who has been waived multiple times. Wouldn't help us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFalcon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The key words in your proposition are "...in college"Ryan Leaf was great in collegeTodd Marinovich was great in collegeAundray Bruce was great in collegeDavid Greene was great in collegeDJ Shockley was great in collegeNone of them lived up to expectations at the professional level and all of them can be considered to be 'busts' in the NFL.DeAngelo Smith was never considered to be 'great in college' and he looks destined to be a short term NFL journeyman until he finally fades away into obscurity, like the guys noted above.

Chris D Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 My main concern is, if he was cut loose from that many teams already, than why would we want him? I think giving him a look wouldn't be a bad idea, I hope we give as many guys looks as the team possibly can. But if they didn't want him, what could he possibly do for this team that he couldn't for those teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant Havok Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 some people in this boards think height gives corners the ability to cover...It doesn't? I could have sworn that was the only thing that mattered when picking a corner. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlacksburgHokie Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'd be interested in trying him out. Maybe our coaching staff can see something in him that his previous coaches didn't.That being said, the probability of him being good enough to unseat someone on the active roster is pretty small...
