He lead the entire league in tackles by a DE one year as a Bengal. During the 6 years he was with the Bengals he had more tackles than any other DE in the entire league. When he became a free agent he was regarded by all the experts as one of the top DEs available.
The ONLY ones who did not think he was a great DE were stupid Bengal fans who believed everything they read on a message board. Just like the people today who are trashing Kirkpatrick.
Lol...

Average ranking among DEs in sacks: 28.8
I guess to some, FRED, that's God like.
Yeah, Justin Smith was a real killer. A salary cap killer for his production that is. Few big plays. Lots of UP field tackles after gains had been made. Best DE at chasing down a running back after a 5 yard gain I've ever seen.
