Marcus Smith And His Need To Step Up For The Eagles

This feature is a weekly piece on BleedingGreenNation.com titled From The Eagles, featuring Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro. The intention is to provide a perspective directly from the Philadelphia Eagles in this forum for the great fans who visit BGN.

Call it a rocky first season in the NFL, and that's an understatement. Marcus Smith couldn't gain a bit of traction after the Eagles selected him in the first round of last year's draft. He played 68 snaps on defense. Total. Out of 1,158 snaps available. That's 6 percent of the snaps. That's no footing.
