I'm a little surprised they just didnt decide for him to wait until GB.
Like BB said, it's not like Bass is horrible or anything. Bucs DTs (esp Vita Vea) are good so I get why you'd want Smith out there, but another week off couldnt hurt.
Not surprising at all, it's what all of us see with own two eyes as well.
He really needs to be benched here in the next few weeks. Maybe after this Tampa game.
He's almost assuredly better than Von Miller, but my preference if they are going to pursue some real help is that its someone younger and more capable of being productive at a high level for at least a couple or three years.
