Sean Smith loses starting CB job
 

NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports Raiders CB Sean Smith has lost his job to T.J. Carrie.

This started to happen at the beginning of camp, and now it looks official. Signed to a four-year, $40-million contract last March, Smith rebounded somewhat after being burnt to a crisp and benched his first game with the Raiders, but things have apparently not improved this offseason. He is still seeing snaps in nickel packages, but that may change once first-rounder Gareon Conley (leg) returns to health.

Smith mailed it in after getting that dough.

Burnt to a crisp ROFL

Oakland is where careers go to die. (after getting one last payday)

Doctors say It has Albert Hainsworth diseases in his balls

KC is the only place he's had any real success.

That says something about our coaching staff.

ROFL

Funny but also very true!

John Dorsey should be fired for this.

Nice to confirm that Oakland is still run by a bunch of butt****ing morons.

Smith a prototypical press/man CB...playing him in off coverage is counter intuitive. He cant run with smaller fast WRs...His strength is knocking them off their route.

He was set-up to fail in Oakland...I dont remember him getting torched in KC..really ever.

They are down a starting CB...makes my heart warm.

Too bad...I was looking forward to our guys working on him.

I saw that coming from a mile away. Posted he was stinking up the place after watching him with two penalties and burnt numerous times against the Cardinals. He looks slow as shit and heavier than in KC.

Remember when we signed him and Clay said he sucked? Then he was awesome for us.

Then Oakland signed him and Clay said it would be a huge loss?

LMAO

****ing hillarious ROFL

Told ya.

Ken Norton Jr must not be all that smart. He has some good, physical press corners and he had them play off all last year, and looks like he's starting with the same crap this year.

I'm really hoping KNJ gets demoted/booted and we move Pagano into the DC role.

Free agency sucks balls, big reason why I don't give a shit about it. Players just wanna be played. Don't give me that Peyton Manning shit either, one in a million type player.

I sometimes wonder how good some coaches are about combining talent and scheme. You can pick up a talented player in free agency, but if he doesn't fit your scheme he's going to underperform. It seems like a simple concept, but I have to think that it's why some players appear to fail in free agency (or for that matter, the draft) when they were initially thriving.

Ya mean like Standford Routt?

Smiths contract was only guaranteed 2 years- so hes gone after the year with no cap dead money- Figures he was ass- he came from KC

Jeremy Maclin

No, Norton is ass...they had to bring in Pagano to cover for him.

Del Rio isn't a championship level coach...never has been. They already axed Musgrave...I guess they didn't want to fire both coordinators in the same off-season. These are Junk Del Rio's hires....

24th pick overall Ohios CB Gareon Conley was drafted to replace that stiff Smith... And he's looked great in camp.. little nicked up now but he's back at practice...

**** off...he hasn't even practiced this entire camp.

He looks good riding an exercise bike?

I hope Oakland puts a rookie CB out there with no training camp...

Yea that is ****ing hillarious.

Conley hasn't even practiced but he looked "great" LMAO

Perhaps cmdrzman thought he looked fetching in sweats

I love cross thread humor.

At least knowmo is useful.

You're just a butt-****ing idiot, cumdumpman.

Between raping women and riding a stationary bike, ol' Gayreon hasn't had time to practice.

OK name me big-bodied cornerbacks who are or were any good past the age of 30. Will you?

Sean Smith has just turned 30.

Uhm, why should we? Who gives a shit.

Del Rio - axe ROFL

WTF happened to AutumnFart?

He was decent for us... Maybe it's the team he currently plays for that makes him look like ass. :shrug:

NO...no, he is not.

He was very good for us but I always got the vibe like he would get his big payday and just mail it in. I think it was after a big win we had sometime in 2013. Everyone in the locker room was all amped up and he just looked like he couldn't give a shit less.

I'm glad he fisted the Raiders first before he called it quits, though.

Lets put aside all this hate and go camping sometime.. me, you, a pup tent and 1 sleeping bag... we can make sweet love together.,. would you enjoy that?

i assume smith will be unemployed soon after 'all the details have been gathered'. :D

Damn he gone

How much of The Raiders salary cap will be freed up?

That has me thinking. There are some cool Charger fans and some cool Bronco fans on this site. I can't think of any Raiders fans that are reasonable. Lawrence Raider?

ROFL

Well that escalated quickly.

That terrible, terrible GM Dorsey cut bait on this guy AND Flowers at exactly the right time.

I am a decent Raiders chap that just wants to talk football with knowledgeable fans. Which doesn't happen in Steelers country.

Sign him for the low low

Welcome if true.

Can't say I am surprised that something like this would happen. He did get a DUI here in KC that one time and was suspended, I believe for 4 games. I want to say that it was reduced to 2, but I'm going off by memory.

He hit a pole I believe. And I don't think it was reduced because there was no appeal filed.

Arrested on felony assault

3 games. I thought initially it was 4, but was reduced. After looking it up, you appear to be correct, as there isn't an appeal filed, and it was 3 games.

Doesn't happen very often on chiefsplanet either.

Boy did Dorse make the right decision here.

His bad day just keeps getting worse! ROFL

Raiders CB Sean Smith charged with beating sister's boyfriend
6:26 PM MT
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles prosecutors say Oakland Raiders cornerback Sean Smith has been charged with beating his sister's boyfriend last month.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Thursday that Smith faces assault and battery charges.

Prosecutors say the 30-year-old Smith beat the victim and then stomped on the man's head in Pasadena, California, on July 4.

Smith previously played for the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs. Smith pleaded guilty in 2015 to a driving under the influence charge in Kansas City and was sentenced to two years of probation.

He's scheduled to be arraigned in Pasadena in September. If convicted, Smith faces up to seven years in prison.

Defense attorney Daniel Rosenberg told ESPN's Josina Anderson that Smith "maintains his innocence" and that he will plead not guilty. "The plan is to fight the charge all the way through," Rosenberg said.

He had to get that felony to fit in. All the other Raiders players were calling him choir boy.

I'm wondering if he was pissed off about his sister sleeping with another guy. Incest seems to be a pre-requisite for the Raiders as well you know.

I hope his is not guilty. I dont want the Raiders to be able to void his guaranteed money...if there is a clause in his contract.

If they cut him...their CB depth is going to be terrible.

He will get cut and suspended.

Their secondary sucks, but I think they were planning on moving on from him after last year. I think he was going to be cut anyway, but now if these charges stick they have an easy out fall into their laps.

Good god NO

what a ****ing imbecile

sucks for the raiders but

raiders gonna raider

Sean "overrated" Smith:

Yet ANOTHER Dorsey success story coupled with the time-honored righteousness and truth of the CP Draft Lords.

Sometimes, shit just is what it is.

Pray he passed that ability on before getting ridiculously shafted by the ownership.

9 million cap hit 13 million in space this will throw a wrench in the Raiders cap flexibility for a season.

win for the Chiefs

i think we got this one covered like revis island :D

If Smith was defending his sister from perhaps an abusive boyfriend/relationship, then I will not pass judgment on him. If this guy was an abuser then serves him right to get stomped.

So they draft an accused rapist, and now there is an accused felony assault on smith. Raiders going back to the wonder years.

I'm withholding an opinion on this too...It'll be interesting how the NFL handles it. They persecuted Rice for hitting his girlfriend...will they do the same to Smith for protecting his own sister FROM abuse? It would be kind of hypocritical...

Smith needs to understand his public position...you hire no-name goons to beat someone up. Duh...

soooooooooooooo, what you are saying is that if tyreek found out his girlfriend had cheated on him and the baby may not be his, it's okay? (i defend tyreek in communal forgiveness if he plays it straight).

dumb logic. maybe sean could have persuaded his sister to notify authorities?

maybe sean in a group of people could have simply stated 'all ten of us, if we ever hear you are being abusive, will partake in beating your ass'?

(i am guessing here, but i assume as i made tyreek an example, if there were 'warning signs' beforehand, and that happened, and she didn't allow it to end 'amicably', he would be in more trouble?)

Tyreek is a poor comparison...sounds like Smith was protecting/avenging a family member.

what if hardy got kicked in the nuts by this woman before he assaulted her?

What if Jesus loves Nazis?

don't be silly butt****er :D

look, if this happened at our bbq, i am sure said culprit would have accidentally tripped over a nail railed rake. but i am not an nfl player and i know how to make accidents happen. :D

UglyNipples, long time no see bro. I missed you.

Still have one of the most distinctive writing styles I've seen on my 15 or so years on the internet.

RNR, RedneckRaider, end of story.

Well, this ends the Raiders league leading streak with no player arrests.

Overhead was pretty cool too. A bit more abrasive than RNR, but he had some great stories.

You are right though, RNR is top notch. It's a shame that someone that cool roots for vile scum like the Raiders*.




* For RNR in case he's lurking. :p

:clap: lol
