Finding the RT is necessary for the long term and if Smith can nail that down, it would be great.

We will see. I am pretty high on Smith after watching a lot of his college tape. Yeah, he will make rookie mistakes (the other guys get paid to play too) but I love the attitude and the ability that I saw on his college tape.

Walk Worthy,

Yeah, people jumped all over Nelson in the game thread when he got beat. They forget that every player gets beat every now and then, and they forget that rookies always get tested by players who are also getting paid to do a job well. Same goes for when AC gets beat.
