Alex Smith handles the Media

The media whores who write trash about him year round decided they'd be more than welcome at the practice he set up.

Regarding the practice closure, security guards were asked by Alex Smith to request that the media leave Spartan Stadium. Media members said they were not inclined to leave, citing the fact that it was a public university.

That prompted Smith to come over himself and emphasize that this not an issue he was going to relent on. Bottom line: Smith indicated that they would not begin workouts until the stadium was clear.

He literally walked the media out, pleasantly but firmly.

Seems they reached a truce though:

The issue of closing the practice was somewhat resolved, with word that players will open practice to the media for 30 minutes Tuesday, from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m.

I don't blame Smith and I honestly think all practices should be closed to fans and media. We live in a 'gotcha' world where cameraman are aggressively trying to find anyone saying the word 'fine young male' or do anything that might not be typical behavior at church. Quite pathetic. You can't have a relaxed environment anymore. Everyone has their camera out and everyone knows youtube.

Certain fans and media have ruined everything for the rest of us with their disrespectful behavior toward players.

Then you have the New England Patriots...

I much prefer the setup the Bobcats have for their practices. They have people employed by the team who make videos of practices. Obviously if anything is offensive it can be edited out.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
