Michael Irvin throws shade at Smitty, Steve replies

Irvin wasn’t throwing shade.  It was the truth.  Smitty was in decline, but was the same mentally as he was here.  It was a little sad to see all of a sudden that Baltimore couldn’t develop young receivers just like we never could when he was here.  Also, he demanded the ball and their offense suffered just like the San Fran game when he wouldn’t come out, but couldn’t accelerate. The best game he had in Baltimore was against us because he was highly motivated and some insanely lucky bounces.  

Irvin & Smitty Both were good, but Irvin was a three time champion & worked hard during his time in the league too.  And I find it funny that Steve lost his mind flipping out over commentary even though he is supposedly past all that.  That is why at the time he had to go.  Bum ass Reggie Bush trying to instigate too.

I think there's always some low-key beef there.  Smitty threatened to beat Irvin's ass for making jokes about his suit one day because his wife picked it out for him.  Irv begged him to forgive him for it and said he didn't mean anything by it, but ever since then it has seemed awkward between them.

Irvin shouldn't have said that, period. It was low class, and he should have known better. 

Smith was the better route runner, and probably the better overall receiver.

Keep in mind that they weren't playing by themselves. Irvin had the easier road, and that really isn't even debatable.

Smith should have clapped back.

Yet he was still their best receiver when he retired???  Better than Boldin ever was for them.  Don't really understand the logic here...  Basically everything in your statement is a fabrication.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
