Was Sean Smith benched today by the Raiders?
 

I'm reading it all over the internet. He gave up a 98 yard TD, and was benched in the 2nd half. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah, he got torched by Brees quite a bit. Saints are good on offense though

I've seen it all over also

I saw the play and he got burnt by a speedy Cooks. Dumb move to put Smith on him

He was average, at best in Miami. The guy is dumb as rocks. He should be sending half his paychecks to Sutton for making him look good

Big shock

Wheels fall off at 29

He fit our scheme perfectly, but might not be the best fit in Oakland.

Put a 6'2" CB on a 5'10" WR and you're likely to have problems. Oakland had him pressing the line but never jamming Cooks. Not smart football.

Ken Norton junior

Cooks turned him into burnt toast.

I'm happy with Gaines. Nelson also looked solid today. The secondary was actually the best part of the defense today.

Apparently he's not as good now that he got paid. Chiefs played that one perfectly making him work for that money

Or he's never been that great and was a product of a system.

LMAO LMAO LMAO

He's pretty much a slightly more athletic Brandon Browner.

he got torched all preseason

He always seemed to get burnt pretty hard early on the year before settling down into his role.

The best part is that when Smith was effective, Claynus and his minions said he sucked but when Smith wasn't re-signed, Claynus and his minions said it was a mistake.

Claynus is a ****ing moron

What's with the obsession with clay dane? He's like beetlejuice, don't talk about him

Because it's not just him, it's the trail of butt****s that follow and spew his bullshit.

I can't wait until he's banned again. He ruins every thread.

There's like maybe 3-4 people who do that.

There used to be dozens, n00b

Sure, but not now.

I told my Raider friend all off-season that if they put him on a small shifty fast WR, then he's gona get taken to the wood shed. I personally, am looking forward to watching Maclin tear him a new asshole.

Agree wholeheartedly but I still love my Sean Smith. Always will lol.

That will make me chuckle if that happens all year.

i admit i took great joy watching him get torched by my fantasy wr brandon cooks on that td.

he is very very good at what he does, but running up the sideline with a speedy receiver is NOT what he does well.

It is early, but Dorsey looking right again with his roster evaluations. For the money Smith garnered, it was wise to let him walk. Fisher is in the fold longterm now, and Dorsey diplomatically is challenging Poe and Berry to show the goods if they want to be Chiefs mainstays.....

and Maclin or Conley will burn him too if I had to bet....

They were going to keep him, but had no realistic shot to match what Oakland was offering.

So far it's working out in our favor.

Dont get used to that av.

Cooks burned him badly.

The animated cartoon wasn't bad, either. I'm not some weirdo who whacks it to Danny Elfman every time he comes up with something new, but the guy is pretty damn talented.

told you Sean Smith needs good over the top safety help to be decent. He was bailed out many times by Parker and Berry's range.

Raiders do not have good safeties lol. Looks like the Reggie Nelson+Sean Smith combo is a bust in the making, two fools gold players that benefited from two of the better front 7 rosters in the league.

CP / All off season we're worried about our secondary because of the loss of Sean Smith

Week 1 / Dorsey is a genious for letting Smith go. Smith sux and can't keep up with a speedy receiver.

ROFL

Sean "overrated" Smith:

Correct assessment then, correct assessment now.

Thank you, and have a nice Monday.

JDR said his head was not in the game and benched him for the rest of the day after the 98 yard torch ... He won't be benched long

I'm going to admit, I felt that failing to re-sign Sean Smith was going to bite us in the ass.

Andy Reid, though, I failed to account for. He had this talent in Philadelphia, too. Knowing exactly when to release players.

Of all the players the Chiefs have let walk on Reid's watch, who hasn't busted? Brandon Albert, who has struggled with his health.

Congrats on the coin flip play win. Denver level luck.

Yeah not sure that even if he had the money Dorsey would have signed Smith at the price he signed with Oakland. You have to be very careful with giving big money to a player who could decline at anytime going forward (being a big-bodied CB).

Dorsey is not giving money easy, we can see that.

He fit the KC scheme well. Might have been due to help over the top. I think our defense would be better with him than without. Just my .02.

Kurt Coleman has arguably gotten better since leaving Kansas City.

So... 2, I guess.

We didn't "let him walk," we couldn't fit him on the roster.

But fair enough.

Reminds me of 2014. Branden Albert, Tyson Jackson, DMC, Kurt Coleman, Quinten Demps, Jon Asamoah, Akeem Jordan and Geoff Schwartz all left and people panicked.

We don't miss any of those guys.

Uh Oaklands current center.

Oh yeah!

I wonder how Jeff Allen is acquitting himself in Houston.

He's had half a sack so far.

Pump your brakes.

He had a big stop on 3rd down as well and I'm pretty sure he's just a rotational guy for them at this point.

Four times, I hear.

Agreed. He fit the scheme or the scheme fit him very well and he was very good in our defense.

This is what happens when you go out and poach other teams players and don't look to see how they fit into your scheme though. Maybe they didn't care, and just wanted to hurt their rival. :: shrug ::

We may as well just trade him since he had a bad game huh? Or hell lets just release him, we can't get anything for him anyway.

I wasn't for getting rid of him. But if this happens I'll feel much better.

It's OK to feel sad.

He is still better than what you had, but like I pointed out a few days ago... dont expect him to look as good as he did while in KC

Expect him to look more like he did in Miami ie; a middling player

I am not sad... Raiders have a helluva lot to clean up on D but I think they have the talent to do so.

When you are lined up one on one with the box stacked you don't let a wr come off the line without a hit... That cooks guy was never touched and you are going to get torched most of the time unless you have somebody coming through the line fast to apply pressure to the QB... Brees is a great qb and they should have had some help for sean regardless... If you are not getting pressure on the qb most of the wr in the nfl are going to get open.

I am disappointed in the D play overall but the game was won anyway but that stuff won't fly against better teams

That's what the Chiefs did with Stanford Routt.

The Titans #1 WR is a day 3 rookie. They easily have the worst WR group in the NFL. No wonder he played well this week. Nice attempt to troll though.

Wow, Smith played well against the Titans?

The same Titans that before this season, were a combined 5-27 in the previous two seasons and 1-2 this year?

Impressive.

passing yards allowed: 11th
Completion % against: 3rd
TD's allowed: tied for 4th (2)
INT's: 1st

Damn guys. We sure miss Sean Smith don't we?

Why are you guys worried about a raider?

Sure he was torched week 1 but he isn't the first guy to be torched in the big easy. It was stupid to put him on Cooks though. Norton is a moron to be honest.

He got owned by Jones week 2. Last week they face a Delanie Walker Titans attack that had no threat whatsoever and even to the point where it's was blatantly talked about during the game.

We all knew that'd be an issue. I told my Raider buddy the sameness thing. If he's faces a smaller quick WR, he's toast.

Told ya this guy was not worth keeping.

You also said that the Eagles would be the worst team in the league and argued with me about it.

Good call.

Refresh my memory with the argument and I am not trying to :Poke: here. Show me the conversation in posts. I remember the majority of my conversations with folks but I can't remember that one. Not saying I didn't either.

He is prolly talking about me lol

Amerson and Smith both had good weeks against the powerhouse Titans.

ROFL The powerhouse Titans.

Dane has started so many fights he can't keep them all straight.

He rages in every thread.

You really need to visit your gynecologist.

Your rage doesn't come out in all threads, but it does come out more than you would like to admit, and you are SUPER easy to bait into a spat.

Good dude though despite some glaring deficiencies.

Meth works in mysterious ways.

Serves them right for giving us that dick-in-a-box Stanford Routt.

PAYBACK'S A BITCH, OAKLAND.

Thanks for the comp pick Oakland!
