Yup. He fell to the 4th round because he's not an NFL QB. He has to learn a new position in the NFL. It remains to be seen if he can do anything in this league. He had a nice run last night, but any fast receiver could have made the run too. It was a great call and great blocking. He's still going to be a project, and it will probably be awhile before he's a major contributor.
If it wasn't for Ramsey's block behind the line of scrimmige Smith would have lost 8 yards. Anyway, its nice to see an exciting play from our offense because we didn't see any last year.
In the early rounds teams are tryin to fill very specific holes with the best player they can find. If a team needs a good RB, they will take the best one available while passing up, say a good receiver. After the first 2 or 3 rounds, all the "superstars" are gone and teams have a bit more freedom to pick and choose the best player available.
I really don't think that guy would have got Smith if Ramsey didn't throw the block. He was already past him. Blocking is generally required for anyone to break a big run anyway. If you want to credit one block for the run, look at the lead block Mangold throws.
I agree, the key block was Mangold sealing off the sideline to spring him, then Coles and Kendall double teaming the safety was key too and Brick finished it off to make it electrifying. The guy Ramsey blocked had no chance and tried to dive across his body and Ramsey gave him a little nudge. Smith was already by him. But to say any receiver could have done what Smith did is pretty negative.
What exactly has this guy gone????? run for a long touchdown in a preseason game where he received three above average blocks.......
