Comments on: Justin Smith to undergo surgery, rehab expected to last three months http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/05/justin-smith-to-undergo-surgery-rehab-expected-to-last-three-months/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:00:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: steverolley http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/05/justin-smith-to-undergo-surgery-rehab-expected-to-last-three-months/#comment-2318930 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:01:21 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1707971#comment-2318930 Justin Smith is the key to the SF defense and if he can’t get healthy it will be terrible for the 9ers

As a Hawks fan I can tell you he has dominated my team for the last four years, the one game he missed the Hawks won by like 40 points. Smith eats up a double team and still collapses the pocket. This allows Aldon Smith to get sacks, and it allows a shaky secondary to not have to cover as long.

I like Smith but a torn tricep at 34 is a big deal, Yeah Ray Lewis came back but lets be honest he wasn’t that good most of the playoffs and he looked terrible in the SB.

Most sacks ever in his first two years.. nuff said.

Looks like Justin is a nonfactor when he cant hold anyone. Overrated.

he was a nonfactor because he played with one arm, aldon smith can thank him for about 50% of his sacks, errrr all of them? no sacks since justin smith got hurt, truth!!!

Justin Smith only had a partial one. That’s big with this kind of injury and the ability to play through it.

His play dropped off while he was injured but thats to be expected. Aldon Smith really struggled with him out of the line up or in the line up not anywhere close to 100%. Wish J.Smith a speedy recovery

Talk to Antler OJ Ray. You’ll be back in no time.

Well, Justin Smith had a torn triceps and missed only 2 games.

Ray Lewis had a torn triceps and missed 10 games.

I don’t see why Lewis’ story is “fishier” than Smith’s when Lewis spent far more time rehabbing the injury during the season than Smith did.

Oh, deer.

Most normal people (and just about every NFL player that has suffered it) need at least three months to recover from a triceps tear and another month to get the strength back

Maybe he can borrow some of Ray Ray’s special cheater spray that let a 37 year-old man in his 17th season overcome an injury faster than anyone else in league history?

Because if that’s not holding I’m not sure what it is…

Great Warrior and in fantastic physical condition to begin with…that’s why he could come back wearing that brace.

Doesn’t matter…Ray has his second ring…has retired as the greatest linebacker to ever play the game…played 17 years…willed his team to beat Denver..New England and then the 49ers even after Jim harbaugh screwed with the lights at the super dome.

He couldn’t disengage from the blocks from tackles and that’s something that has happened since Justin Smith got hurt. Not exactly double and triple teams as he claims. Isn’t Justin Smith 35 now? Going to be a long rehab. Good luck to him.

Hopefully the Niners can draft his successor this year, and then he’s got 2 good years left or so. Not that just drafting the successor to a guy like that is easy to do, though.
