With Smith out for a couple weeks I think this is just what we needed.

89 and 17 have no problem finding each other on gameday. Now Jake, more IMPORTANTLY Jarrett will have more reps.

Let 89 sit, relax and 17 and Jarrett have some special "bonding" time...

Calm down folks, Its Aug 10th.....

One thing to consider with Smith out is that we will have two very big bodies helping our running game on the outsides. Whilst I appreciate Smith is a fantastic blocker, Muhammed and Jarrett could just provide even more ammunition for our running game.

Although this will not prevent teams stacking 9 men in the box...

I don't think it's a terrible thing at all. As you said, it will give Jarrett some more reps with Jake, which could be very beneficial when the games count. We saw last year that Smitty can miss a few games and still be the best receiver in the NFL, so if he doesn't play a single pre-season game but is ready for regs, then I am more than happy to have him sit.

Honestly, I think Smith is a better blocker than Jarrett right now.

Smith is one of the better blockers on the team. He also doesn't mind running after the ball on a play, and busting some ass either if it's picked off, or help on other plays down field either.

    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
