A bit annoyed with #89

[Panthro]

His resurgence has been quite impressive but he's been making some really boneheaded plays to go along with some dumb penalties this year. Would have hoped a salty veteran could avoid them.

Thus the pros and cons of Smith.

[BigSyke]

bs calls on smith he doin great

[SOJA]

that's what you get with Smitty though, a holding call for -10 yards, then a catch for 20.

He's always been a one step back two forward kind of player

[Mother Grabber]

The holding that called back cam's game winning TD was legit...really dumb play on the opposite side of the field.

You can't be fuging serious

Smith is a beast. He's under 5-9 so when he's beasting a DB it catches the refs eye. The holding call yesterday was BS because he just bull rushed the hell out of the guy and don't even get me started on the PI call.:mad:

Oh I am serious. Everyone jumps on gross and all the other established players for making unveteran/costly plays. I am simply seeing the same thing with Smith.

Yep it was a good block, and that PI call was bullshit. Good makeup no call on Godfrey though for PI.

Bullshit call and we won the game so who the fug cares. 89 is 89 deal with it, he may make mistakes but he redeems himself.

There's really no way for a WR to block on the edge without holding. If you watch any NFL game other than the Panthers you will see the same call at least once. If you are going to ask a WR to make those blocks, holds are going to happen. Especially if the RB changes directions or the play takes a long time to develop.

[Jase]

Smitty's always been really prone to holding down the field on runs and pushing off while the ball is in the air. He's just been getting caught more recently, that's all.

actually, I bash Jordan Gross because, well, he sucks.

[Kurb]

:lol: at u noobs saying Gross sucks

you need to watch more LTs in the NFL then....

Gross is solid. That is why all this talk of needing to replace him is comical. Why take Kalil a few years to reach what Gross is doing most likely.....yeah, Kalil might have some better phyiscal tools but Gross is smarter/better than most credit him (there is a reason his peers/coaches are putting him into the Pro Bowl....and you can be certain the fan vote didn't skew that one)
