“He’s got four weeks now and that’s almost a training camp. He’s worked really hard so I wouldn’t put it past him. I’m still trying to keep it within reason and not have the expectations too high and understand what the situation is. But I would say Kolby Smith is the type of guy who could surprise you.”
That's a quote from Todd Haley, when asked if Kolby Smith was at the point where he could be the starter. At one point during the press conference he also said Kolby should have had a touchdown run in the second quarter if they would have made the block down field. When you throw in the talk from yesterday about how Kolby has fought back admirably from a very difficult injury, it appears that Todd Haley really likes what he sees from Kolby.
Based on the fact that Todd Haley refuses to give the ball to Jamal Charles for more than 1 or 2 plays per drive, I think that Kolby Smith can and will be the starter if he can show some more of the tough running ability that he did on Sunday.
