You go practice with the special teamers

I cannot think of one player to ever play the game that was MORE intense than SS.  I was at the 2005 game against Minnesota where Fred Smoots said he was going to shut Smitty down.

It was not as he thought.  I believe Smitty had 2 TD and 199 yds and Smoots was ruined as a DB after that. I can watch his highlight reels over and over.  Love watching him going up as a 5'9" receiver and out jumping multiple defenders.  I miss watching him play.

And sadly I watch him tear us a new A-hole when we played Baltimore.  

I can see why Culley never brought it up.

He had 10 receptions for 154 yards that season. Why would he practice as a receiver in the Pro Bowl when he was named as a returner? I get that it motivated him and that's great but what would you expect?

It's the Pro Bowl.

What the hell would it have hurt?

Top 3 player to pull on a jersey for us. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer for mine.

If you watch the video Ricky posted, the way Smitty tells it is that Cully was short a WR and the punter hadn't arrived yet, so Harbaugh sent him over to run with the receivers. Culley basically told him t get his sorry ass back over to the JV team and leave the real WR's alone. I'm definitely paraphrasing that last part, but I guarantee that's how Smitty heard it.

Even when Smith was at the end of his rookie contract and wanting a new big payday he caught wind of someone involved in the contract negotiations calling him an "unproven" WR. He was furious about this comment and went on a rant. Many sports media talking heads acknowledged that Smith was a good WR, but doubted if he was worth top dollar at the time.

I am sure Cully had no idea what danger he was in by dismissing Smith as belonging with the special teams unit. Smith gave Ken Lucas a terrible beating for unclear reasons during a lull practice, so anyone could become a target and it didn't much to set Smith off.

He was a rookie right? I'm sure the vets would be happy to give up reps at the probowl...in Hawaii lol. Seems like a great chance for the Vets to enjoy the nasty weather and a rookie to learn something, anything. The game did decide homefield advantage for the next scrimmage game. 

Wasn't Cam pushed into a pool his rookie year at a party? Very serious stuff, that's why we had one this year, or maybe ever again.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
