knapplc Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Kind of worrisome that in an article praising him for his off-season work and looking ahead to 2013 that one of the main points they made was that Smith is concussion-prone. We've got a few rush ends who may - according to Fall Camp hype - be able to crash the pocket pretty quickly on Smith. I would hate to see him get hurt. Virginian - can you tell us more about this? How big of a worry are concussions for Smith? Quote Link to comment

How big of a worry are concussions for Smith? it's a worry. Smith has to learn not to be so aggressive and get down and save himself. He's extremely competitive and he has a tendency to try and carry the team on his own. Quote Link to comment

IllinoisHuskerFan Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 "According to the depth chart, seven Cowboys are set to start in their first Division I football game in Lincoln" "Still, it must be a bit unnerving to depend so heavily on a group of players that have never played in front of 30,000 fans, let alone a 90,000-capacity sea of red." Whoa.... Quote Link to comment

Whoa.... Wow. 1/3 of your starting lineup hasn't played a college snap? Reading through some of those articles on Cowboy Chronicles, it sounds like they're having trouble with their offensive line. If Gregory and Curry/VV are as advertised, and/or Ankrah is playing better as we've been told, that could be a huge problem for the Pokes. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He's good but he's not the elite prospect Wyoming fans seem to think he is. What gets me is how many of them rag on Martinez' throwing motion (probably from a few years ago, admittedly) when Smith has a really noticeable shortarm delivery. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Smith has a really noticeable shortarm delivery. I noticed that from the videos too. It looks really weird. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Smith has a really noticeable shortarm delivery. I noticed that from the videos too. It looks really weird. Since they probably haven't watched Taylor throw since 2011, this is all they have to go off of: Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm not really seeing the big play threat from Smith's running ability based on his stats. Are there any highlights of Smith's "big runs" that I saw mentioned on some of the Wyoming sites? His rushing stats for the past two years: 2011: 13 games, 139 attempts, 710 yards, 5.1 ypc, a long of 69, 10 touchdowns, 54.6 yds/game 2012: 10 games, 114 attempts, 248 yards, 2.2 ypc, a long of 28, 6 touchdowns, 24.8 yds/game Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The internet told me he runs a 4.92 40. So basically, in the MWC he has cornerback speed. Quote Link to comment
