I think Tre Smith is quite talented and I'm hoping a spot is found for him on the roster.
He plays with a lot of determination and we can ignore the fumble he made once over the goal line. He simply needs to make a habit out of tucking the ball in closer to his body.
Absolutely re crossing the plane...all the back needs is possession of the ball at the precise moment the ball crosses the field-side edge of the white endzone line, it is a TD.
I didn't see the Smith play, so others can comment on whether he did break the plane in actuality or not with the ball.
I like guys who play with heart and reckless abandon. Smith broke the plain by at leat a yard before he, albeit, carelessly dropped the ball.
We don't have to judge Tre Smith on what happened after his touchdown, but only on his method of ball control while in flight. This is an easy correction for the coaches to make.
