Smitty in the backfield

one question I have is on third down, why not use olsen and 3 WR (so 4 eligible targets) on the LOS along with Smith and Cam lined up in shotgun? Smith lined up against a LB....makes too much sense.

 

So crazy it just might work.

Smitty is by far my favorite player of all time. But that being said, if anyone has seen him attempt a spin move (1 in TB game, 2 in Buff game) or quick cut juke this year knows he's only about 40% of what he used to be. He doesn't have it anymore. I would have loved to see him in the backfield a few years ago. Now, not as much. It's a shame his peak years were wasted with Delhomme, Carr, Vinni, Moore, and Pickles

Sorry... I don't mean to derail this "dime" of a thread, but something to just came to mind...

Can somebody... Anybody... Tell me why we NEVER even attempted having Armanti Edwards throw out of our backfield?

Anyways, that's old news. Thinking about having Smitty made me think about AE not attempting a pass on any kind of trick play

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
