This happened a few days ago, but I didn't see it posted. Maybe it was and I just missed it. If so, feel free to act like a nerd and point it out to me!

Some interesting notes..

Steiny (NYC): Would you call DeAngelo Williams a major Pro Bowl snub?

Steve Smith: No, not yet. A lot of the guys that got picked over him did the same thing that he did for a few years. We have a lot of Pro Bowl RBs in the league and you can't take all of them...it takes a year or two to get your chance to get in.

J: Where would you draft yourself next year in a fantasy draft?

Steve Smith: I would draft myself in either the second or third round.

Geoff (NY): Steve, do you think there is anyone in the NFL that can cover you one-on-one?

Steve Smith: I think there may be a few guys. But this league is not really about one on one coverage like it used to be.

Steiny (NYC): What are you guys going to have to do to beat the Arizona Cardinals?

Steve Smith: Well the D needs to stop the passing game and if they can do that, the offense needs to capitalize on those opportunities they give us.

i like smitty's harsh honesty on the d-will question, but have to disagree with him. the pro-bowl is a year to year award not a career award or culmination of 2 or 3 year award. d-will > portis.

That's just his style. I think he would say the same thing about himself (even though he made the Pro-Bowl in his rookie season).

No, it's about gaining recognition and sustaining it. Right now the fans know DeAngelo's name, next year if he's among the league leaders he'll be a shoe-in. Had they known his name last year, he would have been in this year.

everybody knows the probowl is popularity contest. its like running for class president in middle school. geez!! if DeAngelo continues his level of performance for a string of years, he'll be in the probowl for at least one more year after that performance comes to an end IMO.

      Injury report

      By CRA · Posted

      Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take.

      Injury report

      You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.
