James Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 So, if this guy can stay healthy, who do you guys think we try and keep around for a back up? Can Grigsby return? If so he's my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 If Kevin Smith is on our game day roster, I'd imagine we offer Will Ford a spot as a DI and another RB on the PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Excited about this signing. Feel if he is healthy, K.Smith is a great upgrade. Hopefully he's in Clerks Mode though and not Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back mode though. Clerks was an over-rated, over hyped amateur hour production. Chasing Amy was the best thing Smith ever did.

mbrg Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Really like this signing, was and still am a fan of the detroit lions, actually like all detroit based teams (lions tigers, bears i mean wings) Watched a few lions games when Smith played for them and he was in beast mode most the time. Seems to be a runner who is suited for the CFL, more north south runner here, power type runner, I hope his injury problems are behind him cuz if they are, look out. We may have found something here. If not, well, so be it and there is no harm in bringing him in. Pretty much a no-lose situation for us. Either we get a high quality RB who still has miles left on the engine or ... nice of him to visit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 what was the one with ben afleck and the little kid, the wife dies and afleck wants to take a job in the big city but the kid wants to stay in ahhh yes, jersey girl. That was a good movie i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I agree with The Unknown Poster in the Chasing Amy was Kevin Smith's best work, but Clerks was pretty good, Clerks II was decent and had it's moments. The strength of it clearly was some of the dialogue similar to most of Smith's features. Mallrats IMO was brilliant and probably my 2nd favourite after Chasing Amy. As for the signing, if Smith is 100% healthy and can stay that way for a whole season, it's a big pick up. If the injury prone history continues, training camp fodder at worst.

SPuDS Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm a fan of pretty much all of Kevin Smith's work but am particularly a fan of Dogma, clerks and mallrats.. As for for the football edition, I know not of his body of work but with all the fans in the know getting excited for his signing and hilites, I'm pretty stoked either way..

Adrenaline_x Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Dogma was a gooder. Chasing Amy was on par. Only movie I didn't like as much was clerks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I thought he lost his job because of play and only had the one injury? Wasn't it bell who took the job from him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I thought he lost his job because of play and only had the one injury? Wasn't it bell who took the job from him? Kind of, but not really... he became expendable when the Lions signed Reggie Bush.... Joique Bell was a better "change of pace" back to compliment Bush.... but Smith definitely had more than one injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Bush didn't sign with the Lions until 2013. It was Jahvid Best and Joique Bell who pushed Kevin Smith out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinisterOfD5 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Actually it was a combination of Jahvid Best and Mikael LeShoure who pushed Smith out of a job which is odd because when Best went down with an injury for a week or two Smith came in and carried the Lions running game.

gbill2004 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 And just like that...Kevin Smith has been released by the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Probably shouldn't be reading into it too much but...seemed a little weird to me that once he got hurt he was just standing on his own on the sidelines, rather than be involved with the rest of the position group (even if he wasn't doing the drills). Could also just be freeing up a position while he recovers. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I feel bad for the guy. Sucks to have your career end at such a young age b/c of injuries. College football needs a rule for how many carries you can give a kid. You can damage their careers before they ever start to earn money for playing.

bearpants Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Anyone who knows who he is also knew he came with the "if he stays healthy" caveat.... it's unfortunate for him and the team.... I was looking forward to seeing what he could do in the CFL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is done as a bomber probably as a football player, unfortunate but it is what it is. From all reports Grigsby and Cotton have both looked pretty good. Wonder if Smiths head was fully in to it.

TrueBlue Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 This doesn't surprise me in the least. He was probably brought in to be evaluated and run through the grind for a few days. Obviously his body couldn't take it. I wasn't expecting it. If he was still game ready and able, he'd have found room on an NFL team somewhere. I'm seeing a similar fate for Ocho as well.
