So What Is It Going to Take to Get Torrey Smith Off the Field?

His snap counts so far don't tell us much.

I did some research on Torrey's snap counts, assuming I'd see a steady decline -- but not the case.

Game 1: 51 snaps (76%)

Game 2: 58 snaps (87%)

Game 3: 44 snaps (66%)

Game 4: 46 snaps (65%)

He's been on the field no less than 2/3 of the offensive snaps each game.  With the flashes that Samuel and Moore have shown, and the blatant lack of production from Smith, this has GOT to be reduced.  I don't buy the "veteran leader in the clubhouse" line.  We've got all the vets we need there.  Overdue time for the realization and acceptance that he's not panned out.

an injury , the hate i have towards rivera comes from him playing vets 

Hate is a pretty strong emotion, especially to have against a coach who's been successful in guiding what I assume is your home team.

Perhaps you meant to say you found things to be critical about with him?  Life is too sgort to allow hate.

There's zero reason our starting WRs should not be Funch + Samuel + Moore (slot). Not going to find the old thread but I called this exact scenario back in the summer. Rivera would stubbornly be playing Torrey Smith and by week 4 we would all be clamoring for him to play the younger guys

Well, frankly, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see that coming, you know.  :tongue:

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
