Smitty's OTA observations


PantherFeez

Recommended Posts

Smitty was on The Drive yesterday which is always fun to listen to. During the beginning of the 3rd hour, he was asked about OTA's and what he has seen thus far. The link is below as well as a break down. Listen to 4:13 through 8:02 for what the summary talks about.

Summary:

  • What reciever has stood out to you? (Smith) - "A reciever that has stood out to me? Hmmmm... [4 seconds of silence]... the tight ends have been ballin. We haven't been catching too many passes on the outside" Give me a tight end (Smith) - "Greg Olsen.. the tight ends have been killin."
  • How about KK and Star? Smith said they were doing well, and went out of his way to mention Lindon Gaydosh. Said he reminded him of Shane Burton. Quick hands, doesn't look athletic.. said if he was standing next to Hardy and CJ you would think he's their agent.
  • DBs - said Drayton Florence impressed him and was doing a good job of getting the DB's together. Mike Mitchell flies around telling WR's if they were in pads he'd "blow them up".
  • Talk about the WR meeting room being thick and uneasy with competition.
  • Said Josh Thomas was ball'n
  • Said he wouldn't do any 1-on-1's at training camp because he wants to watch the young DB's and WR's go at each other
  • DJ Moore showed he could play the nickel and wants to play outside.

I think smitty is trying to foster more competition among the WRs. He's just goading them trying to get a positive reaction.

Smith is pretty straight forward IMO. We have a bunch of lower tier WRs competing against each other...

I doubt it is some master plan that he just knows they will tune in to him talking on the radio...and he is afraid to say how impressive some where bc it might cause someone to quit working so hard...

No one has impressed him clearly at WR. We didn't bring in anyone impressive and our old cast isn't....so it isn't a shock

Smitty did say they haven't been catching to many balls on the outside.

2 TEs, 2WRs, 1 RB sounds like a formation with some versatility. Hellz, there are too damm many variations on formations on how to best utilize our talent. If one of the TEs steps up, you can move Olsen out to WR.

Plenty of time to let the competition play itself out. Ah, who am I kidding. Carry on with the worry and strife. Things just might go as well as we all are hoping. Why not?

Let's be real. Smith is at the place in his career where he's starting to look sideways at everybody that is coming for his reps. I know he's not a fake dude, but he's probably trying to remind everybody he's still the best we've got and it's not even close.

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
