Derrell Smith was a truly great athlete, football player and from all of the interviews (I've never met him) a truly great person.
 
He played RB, DE and LB at SU. The fact that he learned the LB position so quickly and played it so well after moving around so much is very impressive.
 
I hope the staff takes some time to show these LBs and the defense some film from 2010 just to give guys like Diabate a sense of what the D looks like when it's humming. Diabate is from the Bronx via the Ivory Coast, if I am not mistaken, and all he has done is work his tail off to become a better football player. I may be wrong, but I think he will continue to improve because that is all he has done and I don't believe he is at his ceiling. Maybe watching how it's done in this defense with film from 2010 will help him to make better reads and decisions in game action. Or maybe the staff has already done that or maybe I'm just flat wrong about him needing to make better reads and decisions to improve.
