John Harbaugh's Advice To Steve Smith: Shock The World

last week is done....so here we go... 

 

 

 

The head coach said Steve Smith could ‘shock the world’ by not saying anything during Carolina week.
 

Steve Smith Sr. has had the Week 4 matchup with the Carolina Panthers circled on his calendar for months.

From the time that the veteran wide receiver signed with the Ravens in March, he’s been answering questions about the eventual matchup with the team he spent 13 seasons with. Now that the game is just six days away, the focus throughout the week will be on the fiery pass catcher gearing up for the much-anticipated showdown.

Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh was asked Monday about his advice for Smith heading into Sunday’s game at M&T Bank Stadium.

Harbaugh looked into the cameras, noting he thinks Steve would be watching.

“My advice to Steve will be, ‘Shock the world. Surprise everybody. Don’t even say a word the whole game. Go into a shell,’” Harbaugh said with a smile. “But I don’t think he’s going to take that advice.”

Smith, who leads the Ravens with 290 receiving yards on 18 catches, is known for his intensity when he gets on the football field. Facing his old team that cut him after a record-setting tenure with the franchise is expected to bring that emotion and passion to an even greater level.

When Smith signed with the Ravens six months ago, part of the attraction to the franchise was that Harbaugh told Smith, “We want you to be yourself.” Harbaugh and the Ravens know Smith will be fired up for the contest, and he reiterated the message that he delivered to Smith on his very first day in Baltimore. 

“I think he’s going to be himself,” Harbaugh said. “Steve knows how to control his emotions. He’s going to be fired up. He’s knows how to channel that. He knows how to focus that the right way.”

We all know it will never happen. I just pray that Norman doesn't somehow end up covering 89.

Actually that would not be so bad.....they will brawl by the end of the first quarter and both can get ejected. It would be a much larger loss for them, we can afford to lose Norman since he doesn't show up much in games anyway.

My thing is let's not get crazy about stopping SS and forget JJones. Special teams better be ready this week!

Let's not forget that the most dangerous playmaker is the other Smith who is being neglected as they force feed balls to 89

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
