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.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
