Just wondering if anyone else has seen Williams comments on how to "cover" Smitty on Sunday.

From NOLA.com (http://www.nola.com/saints/t-p/index...540.xml&coll=1 ):

Quote:

COVERING STEVE SMITH: Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith has been perhaps the biggest thorn in the side of the Saints recently. In his past eight games against the Saints, Smith has caught 52 passes for 745 yards and seven touchdowns.

Those numbers haven't been lost on Williams, who also has been victimized by Smith in the past.

"He's an unbelievable football player," Williams said. "He does things that obviously you can't coach. They are going to do two or three things that we haven't even seen on film, where they try to scheme a big play to him.

"The thing that I think that he does the best is, for a little guy when the ball goes up in the air, he plays like a 6-10 center. He goes and gets it. But what we've got to do is turn his little body over, so that when he does get it he lands on his head and he doesn't come back in for a while."

Williams said he is confident the Saints' starting cornerbacks, Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter, will be able to defend Smith.

"Our corner play has been outstanding, so we are not afraid of putting our corners out there," Williams said. "There will be some plays that he makes, and there will be some plays that we make. We just have to hope that it's not a point-producing play."

Sounds like a plan to me!

i don't want any saints fans coming in here talking about class.

what a lame way to coach.

i could talk about all we have to do is break their already fragile players but i didn't want to stoop so low.

so much for wanting an injury free game.

i will say that if the panthers read this and smith gets hurt, i can guarantee a couple key saints players are going to be getting hurt. you want a fight, the panthers are going to give you one.

Saints corners are good enough to slow down Smitty. Saints will probably do what the Eagles did earlier this year.
eagles didn't gameplan to hurt smith.

i wonder what fines there are for a coach to make a hit list. it's pretty stout for a player. for a coach it should be a lot higher.

Thats called put a SS over the top to help the CB. No CB in this league can cover Smith one on one. People have tried and lost every time. Only Smith and Randy Moss have that talent. What the dirty Williams dose not know is Smith takes licks all the time. Hell Ed Reed laid the wood too him 3 years back and Smith just got up and patted him on the helmet. Im sorry no Saints CB or SS is gonna put Smith out without a cheap shot and that's a fact.

So only Smith and Moss cannot be singled covered? Wow. Keep your eye on a dude named Colston this weekend my deranged friend.

Ha your the deranged one. We shut down Fitz and Bolden dont think we cant shut down Colston. You guys are gonna be dumping passes off all game long. Dink and dunk is the only way your gonna win.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
