Why is Eric Smith even on the football field?

I just don't get it... I thought Wilson was going to be in on the nickel
packages?

They're going to be going at Smith all day long if he isn't pulled.

Eric got banged up after being late all game. Did anyone notice he was
late getting to Ihedigbo to celebrate Bo's sack?

I just hope he is injured enough to be forced to miss several games. I
would count that a blessing.

I am tired of watching this guy be just behind the play (or the post
play).

And Smith still gave up two long passes. Slow Dbs are not helpful.
