This guy can play, his return for special teams seem to have the potential to go all the way at least once a game, works well with Lumsden in the backfield. Very impressed. I know he went to Auburn which is a football factory , but where was his first pro experiences and how did we end up with him
Only disappoint tonight is not using the screen pass to Lumsden or even Tre
I'll tell you a few things I know for a fact about Tre Smith.
First, he is just getting started. He had been away from the game for a little while when he came up to join Hamilton, and he hasn't hit his stride yet. But he will.
Second, he's a team player in a big way. A solid guy. Gets excited about what he does, and brings that spark with him. He has a good time on the field, and likes to have fun, and from what I've seen on the forums Ticats fans are seeing that.
Other quick facts -- he was offered a contract with BC Lions in 2007 but didn't take it, even though it was reported on CBC that he did. (He finished his degree instead.) So this is his first time in Canada.
He was supposed to play in an arena football team in the United States, and it folded before the season started -- something about the main funder ran out of money.
When it folded, his agent hooked him up with Hamilton.
Oh yeah, this guy is dynamite. I'll say we've been blessed with running backs for the last decade. To have the three guys we have when you factor Caulley in, that's the definition of depth.
Tre Smith gives us something that we haven’t had in a long time,maybe since Paul Bennet.A legit threat to take it back every time he touches the ball.He is tailor made for the CFL.Also,as a running back,I like his speed.
:cowboy: Hidi folks, I want to say that I recognized Tre to be a baller from day 1. This kid can play!! He was outstanding and if the coaches continue to use him, man on man!! Great job Tre...Casey and Jessie....Man, Casey said this team was not far from being very competitive...He believed in his teammates, the coaches and in his abilities. Welcome Tre to canada!!!!
I have a feeling he is going to be a fan favourite for a long time here. The guy plays with heart and doesn`t give up on the play. He is one exciting player.
