Something's up with the Smith thing

[Lake Shore Drive]

And to me it's not good.

Matt Nagy won't commit to Roquan Smith playing in Week 5 vs. Raiders

When a player isn't injured, yet might not suit up for two consecutive games, that tells me there's trouble brewing. When it was first announced, I was hoping there was a family emergency or something along those lines, which would be natural for a player not to be there. But it's obviously deeper than this.

Definitely worrisome.

He seems like such a high-character guy? I hope it's not retarded shit.

And that's what worries me, that it will be something completely off the charts. Next to Mack, I have Roquan as the 2nd best player on the D. I don't know, I'm trying to think positive on all this, but my gut tells me there is something brewing here. I sure the hell hope I'm wrong.

Saw something earlier that said he wasn't acting like his usual self all last week.

"
Schefter says on ESPN 1000 that Roquan Smith was acting erratically all week and not like himself. Really weird what’s going on with him. He also mentioned that car that crashed was not his
"

Whatever that means.

Trey Burton...Roquan...Who will it be next on the upcoming episode of "WTF just happened here?"

CTC? Has he taken any big hits to the head?

 

[BsGenius]

Disciplinary or some sort of mental illness is my guess. Yeah this doesn't sound good.

CTE doesn't arise as much from concussive blows to the head. As it does from a steady, non-stop stream of sub-concussive blows over a long period of time.

So, all of these guys are candidates.

It's possible that he had some sort of a mental break? I don't know...

If he was facing something big from a criminal standpoint we would have heard. A team can't hide when a police department is investigating a player for murder, sexual assault, drug dealing, etc. type of charges which are imminent. Obviously, we had no idea the Feds had been looking into Sam Hurd for a while. But that's the feds and the entire point.

Maybe he didn't boom loud enough after the Redskins win.

"Schefter says on ESPN 1000 that Roquan Smith was acting erratically all week and not like himself. Really weird what’s going on with him"

Is Roquan on some sort mental medication? A coworker of mine a while back ago stopped taking her medication once and she started acting freaking weird man.

I don't know if that's the oddest part of that post...

Or if it's the fact the he asked a message board if Roquan Smith is prescribed medication. We would totally know that! lol

And it doesn't sound at all like he'll be available for the Raiders game, maybe even longer.

Roquan Smith out indefinitely with a personal issue

I came over here to gain some insight because it's borderline bizarre to be honest.

Smith is a UGA boy, and I do follow many of their careers when they move on the Sunday football, but I don't see a good ending to this...hope he's okay.

This is really weird, and thus really worrisome. What's even weirder is that Smith was on the sidelines last game as well, so it's not like he's suspended from the team or anything. Hope he comes back sooner than later but this not-knowing-anything really sucks.

In 2019, being able to cover up a story this well might be more incredible than anything.

The organization might deserve some sort of award. lol

Its gotta be something medical.

I think he's fine. This will wind-up being a big nothing burger. He's got some depression going on or is fighting through a mental thing. He just needs space. I'm backing off.
