Will LeKevin make the final 53?

[patsox23]

He's obviously making the 53, to the point that a poll is silly. And BELIEVE ME, I know silly - I was the one who made an ass of himself with the Pierre Woods thread earlier this week.

or BB would say, "that guy is a genius"

BB could, yes; not that there is any danger of that happening mind you.

With all your connections and such.

Re-watching the game yesterday, one thing became obvious to me. LeKevan Smith was a better 3-4 DE than he was a NT. At the NT position, he was regularly getting over-whelmed and there were at least 3 occasions that the RB ran right by him and he wasn't able to get a hand on him.

I think that Smith will continue to improve and may, one day, be a good NT, but he's not now.

From Bill Belichick's Q&A this afternoon:

Q: What kind of strides has Le Kevin Smith made in his play?
BB: I think Le Kevin’s made a jump from last year to this year: In his offseason training, his strength and conditioning and his quickness and explosion. I think his techniques are better. I don’t think last year we would’ve expected him to really play at a position that he hasn’t practiced much at and he hasn’t practiced much at left end. He has a much better understanding of the defense and was able to transition over there even though he played some at nose last night. He’s definitely improved. He’s still got a long way to go, but he’s improved quite a bit from last year. That’s a positive and that’s what you like to see from young players, especially those who didn’t get a lot of playing time during their rookie year that they’re really able to make a move from their first year to their second year from a technique and an understanding point of view, and sometimes physically, especially with linemen with their offseason training program.

True.

Is there enough room on the Le Kevin Smith Bandwagon for a reporter? I think he's going to make it. They've kept him around for a reason--I think they really like him. Not that this means anything at all, but he's also a really decent guy when it comes to dealing with the media--a good quote who ALWAYS has a smile on his face.

A smiling
widow-maker.

Could he have an ulterior motive?
