No surprises there.
The league denied
Eric Smith's appeal to a one-game suspension and $50,000 fine for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Arizona Cardinals wide out Anquan Boldin during a Week 4 contest at the Meadowlands.
I still don't agree with the suspension, but what can you do. On a purely football level, the suspension shouldn't really hurt the Jets that much. Smith hasn't distinguished himself in the secondary this season and it will give Abram Elam a chance to prove he's more than just a special teams player. Elam appeared in 13 games for Gang Green last season and hits hard, but has a tendency to lose his cool (throwing
a punch during a game last season) and be at the wrong place at the
wrong time.
Show us what you got, Abram.
