Who ya got?

After all the talk during the week about Smith getting in Jimmy's face on the sidelines last Sunday, I thought it'd be interesting to get people's opinions on who'd actually win in that fight.

Personally, my money is on Clausen. He's a tough bastard.

I read an article this morning and they mentioned that Jimmy's physique looked like he was more familiar with twinkies than he was with weight lifting and exercise. So my money would be on Smith who is still pound for pound one of the toughest guys in football. At least in his mind. Funny thing is that I doubt he would be the one to start it. He is over that I think.

Where's that article? All I've read is how he's a machine in the gym.

Oh and Clausen gets nailed by D-linemen and pops back up. I think he could go toe to toe with Smith.

He did get his bell rung hard last game and shook it off. I felt bad for him because his eyes were watering. Hopefully he wont make that mistake again. Safety blitz I think.

Is this really a thread? Smitty would OWN Clausen, but it would never come to that. At the end of the day Smitty is a competitor and I think that Jimmy is too. So I feel that Jimmy couldn't even get mad at Smitty because they both want to win and all Steve was doing was expressing his thoughts on "winning"

I either read it here somewhere or through the observer. They are the only ones I read today. Anyway, someone who has been in the locker room and saw what he looked like. Doesn't mean he isn't tough. Anyone who plays pro football is tough. On the other hand, even marshmellows bounce back when you squish them. Maybe someone else read it too. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit- Found the link

Walk into the locker room Wednesday, and you would not pick Clausen as a leader. He's not a big guy. He does not come across as a fierce guy. His body implies that he spends more time with Little Debbie products than with large, small or intermediate weights.

By the title I thought that this was going to be about attitude, so that's what I will address. Smith needs to basically man up and lead by example. He needs to teach instead of preach. Clausen is acting more professional and politically correct about a situation that should have never came up. Every time that I want to believe that Smitty is finally getting it, he does something that bespeaks a lack of maturity and understanding of the dynamics of the development of a rookie QB. Yes, I know that he is as tough a competitor as there has ever been in he league, but every tough competitor doesn't act like an asshole, so basically Smitty needs to channel his frustration towards the guys who actually deserve it, and in a constructive (and private) manner.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
