This may have been discussed during the game yesterday, but I havent seen anything on it so apologies if so... But I thought he did an excellent job on his blitzing, but there were 2 or 3 times where he had the QB squared up to take his head off and he just kind of tried to arm tackle him, and he missed him. Was I missing something on these plays?

I made the comment yesterday during the game about this...why this kid basically "whiffed" on 3-4 blitz is beyond me. I think we had the QB dead to rights and Smith basically played touch football.....he needs to have a target taped on brick wall and made to run into it several times until he gets the point....we cannot miss those types of opportunites in a game against Florida, Ga. Tech or anyone else on our schedule.

I wonder if we could petition the SEC to let Zach carry his protractor on the field with him. The son of a gun takes the worst angles to make tackles of any player than I can remember. Whether it be last week against Auburn on the option, or this week on blitzes where he had a clean path to the quarterback and he decides to take the scenic route in a sem-circle to get there. He is not my favorite player.

The guy brings energy to the D and every once in awhile will connect with a ball carrier, but often times looks like a chicken with his head cut off. "A badass MF'er"? Not so much.

Look, we're sorry for talking about your best friend and all, but he's the farthest thing from badass MF'er I've seen on the football field. I would say he's a slow *** MF'er or dubmass MF'er. But badass? No says I.

I'll tell you lil bitches what....there is always somebody who wants to find somethin to ***** about on this board. The kid timed the snap perfect on a couple of plays and had to go all the way around the tight end so hell...yall try to stop on a dime and make the play. At least he was gettin pressure if nothin else. And another thing...yall m'fers don't think he's badass...why don't you call him up or better yet put on some pads and see if you can role with him. The majority of yall faggots never even made it past pee wee football.</p>

Another thing...I didn't see anybody harping on Wade Bonner when he was sent on a blitz and just quit when he got to the QB (on the play D. Anderson picked one off). It's not black history month yet is it?</p>

Why the hell would we put on pads and 'role with him'?

Everyone is paying attention to Zach smith because of what happened at the Auburn game. Our secondary is receiving a lot of attention and he was supposed to be a solid player in it this season but yet he has shown us he is not the coverage player we needed him to be. Its great he can blitz and go untouched into the backfield but he can't finish the 17ing play.

read the rules, change your username, and then quit posting altogether. And I wouldn't mind putting the pads on and rollin with Zach Smith. 1. I could definitely shake him with no problem, and 2. He'd probably miss when he came in for the "head busting" hit. And yes, I guess I was one of the few, out of the thousands of posters here, that made it out of pee wee football.

None of these people know half as much as they think they know about football or any other topic. Just a bunch of guys calling each other names. Much ado about nothing when it is all said and done.

To quote Terrell, " ya'll can point fingers at Zack, but it's really not fair, it's not fair. It's my safety, its just not fair. We lost as a team". But yes, a badass he is.

like he is a bad *** doesn't make him a bad ***. He is a bad football player and when he misses tackles and can't cover anyone he looks like an *** so if you just connect two words out of those statements than yes he would then be a bad ***.

make a straight angle to the ball carrier. I do like his fire & spunk & I'm sure the coaches do but he isn't good enough to be starting at safety.He's probably gonna be burnt like toast at least 3 times against LSU this week-end. We need somebody with more speed back there.

Please explain. We talk about sports. People have opinions. Just stop posting on a message board if you don't like it. You were much better as DynamicDawg.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this board a big fan of Zach Smith in 2007 and maybe into 2008.

Seems I remember many "future star" references.

Unfortunately, yes. Several posters on this board were talking him up at the end of last year and during the off season. I, for one, never understood it.
