Cortland – Watching Geno Smith hobble around the practice field in practice today on a bad ankle , you wonder why he was out there.
He was clearly not close to 100 percent.
Why not tell him, “We are going to shut you down for a few days, but you are still in the competition for the starting job?”
I know he wanted to be out there, and that is admirable, but did it really serve a purpose? He was limping pretty bad at times.
Maybe it was a teachable moment for the rookie quarterback on the importance of playing hurt in the NFL.
