Will Asante Samuel shut down Steve Smith?

[top dawg]

Thinking of why Smitty did so horribly against Oakland reminds me of that age old question: Which came first? The Delhomme, or the Asomugha? I'm thinking it was the Delhomme, but who knows?

Dont you guys know that everytime the WR doesnt catch the ball, its because Jake is a terrible QB, and cant throw it straight? Its never because the WR ran a bad route, or the ball was tipped, or a CB made a good play on the ball???? Obviously Jake is the worst QB to ever put on an NFL jersey.

Oh yeah...because we play the Raiders alot right? how many CBs go against specific WRs not in the their divisions more than once or twice in their careers? Try not to choke on those sour grapes kid

I don't care, I wanna see someone shutdown Smitty more than once before I'll agree that they're able to shut him down on a consistent basis.

Well I dont think he will.......because Jake throws to him 100 times a game, he has to catch a few of them!

Yes! Agreed!

What Rello said was true in a way. Hall plays Steve Smith pretty good. He cannot however shut him down. Last time they played was Deangelo's meltdown game, and Steve was going to the house on him when he tackled him and got the PI penalty.

Asomugha broke up 2 passes that Jake threw to Steve and it wasn't because they were extremely bad throws. Asomugha ran the route better than Steve Smith did. He best corner in league period. Anyone who watched that game would realize this.

Samuels is a good cornerback also. I think with the proper scheme he is good enough to "contain" Steve Smith. 1 on 1, it wouldn't be a contest, but thats why its the Eagles vs Panthers and not Steve Smith vs Asante Samuels.

He is def one of the best but Delhomme had a horrible day no matter what you say. Really he had a horrible year and was not all that great threw the entire season. Also Dwill racked up over 140 yards that game so why would we throw it to smith when we were controlling the game from the ground. The fact is if we can run we are not gonna pass with Fox.

In short hell no. If they double they got moose, mooore, goodson, and others to keep the honest. If its man up look for the smoke pass, back shoulder fade or something across the middle of the field or put smith in motion. samuel will have a long day.

Well FOX Network just showed the results of their 1 on 1 matchups today, so the answer is YES, he DEFINITELY DID.
