Why no Cam Smith?
- Thread starter clutch
- Start date
They were saving him for the playoffs. He's the secret weapon.

He was this off-season's darling. The guy that gets a lot of buzz from one or two camp tweets, or makes a play or two in preseason against guys who won't make the roster.
There's one every year.
Not saying he won't be the guy in the future, but not this year.
If Cam Smith trains well this week, he may finally get an opportunity to show what he can do in a game. More likely that Eli Apple starts.
Just spitballing here. Fangio has refused to deploy Cam in real time play for whatever reason. At this point it's probably just sheer stubbornness on his part that if he were to release him into the game and he did well how would that look on Fangio that he held a chess piece like that back so long with multiple injuries at CB all year.
I'm really starting to sour on Fangio and his bullheaded bullshit tbh. He's a good coach, but all things I hear is he's a royal pain in the ass.

Yes, it will be worse. That's why he isn't playing.
Tell us all where you hear these things.
His daughter is good friends with one of my friends fiancees. Families all know each other and gave me some scoop on him personally a bit ago.
Also want to add these two little nuggets. It's been mentioned that Cam Smith isn't practicing with the main squad, and this quote from Fangio in October:
Vic Fangio on Miami Dolphins CB Cam Smith
When asked Thursday if Smith is “knocking on the door” for playing time on defense, Fangio replied:“He’s knocking on the door. … He’s got to keep knocking and keep improving in practice.”
So how does that make Fangio a pain in the ass?
How does what? Those two comments? They weren't really in relation to your comment just some things I had read recently on him, unrelated, just didn't feel like making another post.

This is all born of frustration by us fans.
But if you think about it logically, the coaches see him at every practice. We don’t. Earlier this season Madison answered a question about smiths progress that I read as Luke warm, at best.
I’ll trust professional coaches’ assessment.
