I don't know much about him aside from that he apparently went to Alabama and I believe he is a FB/TE combo. Dunno if this was a signing to the practice squad or active roster.

Yeah I saw this earlier. I'm thinking practice squad but I'm not sure. I looked into him and he seems to be a good blocker and surprisingly very good catching the ball and showing some skills after the catch. Here's a video I found on youtube of him. Seems to be a decent player.

So we potentially will be hearing, "It's Smelley across the middle"?

This move reeks of desperation.

There sure are a lot of comedians on this forum! Or perhaps it's wannabe comedians! Appreciate the effort, though!

I like how guys who have a shot at living their dream think God has a role in it. When was the last time the 50 year old guy working over night at the Stop-N-Rob thanked God for the plan he is on? Give me a break.
I am only guessing this signing means they are looking for more of a traditional FB kind of player. I think Harkey has been a find. I dont really get this signing, but, I know this administration is about finding talent. So be it.

Did any of you all recognize the OLT & ORT who Brad Smelley was lining up next too??? Yep Barrett Jones was the starting Left OT in that 2011 Bama tube. Think that's the connection?

My first thought is FB/TE/H-Back Lance Kendrick's thumb may have gotten lost or fell off.....because this would the only reason to add a FB/H-back to this team. Lance is our starter & Harkey is the close back up. Cory Harkey looked to me.... to have gotten much more playing time than Lance has of late. Harkey has much to do with the rise of this Ram once dominant run game that has turned into a hot Volcano. So Harkey does not need to be pushed or replaced ....So then why add a FB/H-back type now when DB's are failing all over Ram Park???? Just how bad is Lance's thumb? Is Lance headed back to the knife??? They said he is back to full health ?

Maybe Fisher & Shotty is just going to shift Jared Cook into a more Slot or wide out position and use the others more for run blocking?? Jared did finally show up last week some?

I think you call it faith man and the 50 yr old probably knows he is where he deserves to be as a result of his past choices but he may give thanks just the same. Who knows?

"Rams add H-back Brad Smelley to practice squad. Had spot available from adding CB Quinton Pointer to active roster over weekend."
