Steve Smith looking for payback from Giants

Steve Smith - - the other Steve Smith, from the Carolina Panthers, not the Giants receiver - - has already added a little spice to Week 1 of the NFL season.

Smith told Peter King of Sports Illustrated that he plans on “going after” Giants safety Michael Johnson in the first game of the year at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Smith is still ticked, apparently, that Johnson delivered the hit that broke Smith’s arm and ended his season in the Giants’ Week 16 loss to the Panthers last season.

You’d think Smith would’ve already gotten a measure of revenge by watching his teammates embarrass the Giants 41-9 in that game, which was the Giants Stadium finale. But apparently he wants more.

Smith also guaranteed he’d be ready to play in that game. Johnson figures to be the Giants’ third safety, unless Kenny Phillips is ready to play, in which case Johnson would be the fourth. So who knows if Smith will even be able to find Johnson that day?

btw...i do think he'll do well against the giants. he'll look to embarrass them even more than they were last year.

i do think he needs to be careful when panthers play the saints. their douche coordinator, douchebag williams, will probably tell their secondary to aim for his arm...late hits are fine, just as long as you hit him and try to re-break his arm.

I've seen a few other articles that refer to our Smith as the "OTHER" Steve Smith. What's up with that?

#12 was able to put up under 300 yards more than #89 with 42 more receptions. Same amount of TDs. Eli had a pretty good year. #89 had to deal with the worst qb of '09 throwing to him for 11 games. If all they are going by is receptions, then they must think '09 #12 is even better than '05 #89. Since #12 had 107 rec, #89 had 103 in '05.

I hate this "other" steve smith crap. come talk to me when this kid is better than Smitty for 3-4 seasons. until then, there is not "other" steve smith, only the One.

Smitty is a proven game breaker anytime he touches the ball, for years, not just one season. get real, this isnt even a comparison. Ask any QB, RB or player on offense which one they would rather have on their team. my guess is, it wouldnt be close....

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
