"Right now I'd take Mike Mitchell over Mike Minter" -Steve Smith

Heard this in his interview yesterday with WFNZ. He tried to make it sound like he didn't wanna choose between the 03' defense and now, but he said right now he would take Mitchell over minter which is huge.

I'm so glad to have Lurk on this team, it's been said enough but that guy just changed everything from the secondary, to the teams attitude.

Next jersey?

Smitty said he would take Mike Mitchell because that's who we have now, and you can't compare seasons that far apart; he acknowledged that he was a much different player and a person back then, so his perspective of the team would have been different.  He also said that as good as the 2003 defense was, it wasn't quite the best because they came up short that year.

 

In no way was it a knock on Minter, at least not how I heard it.

I think Minter played a little smarter....

But I think Mitchell is a nastier version overall of what Minter was..

I agree completely. Minter played smarter but Mitchell has something special. Just curious has anyone noticed Mitchell's closing speed. It is unreal. He makes up for some of the lapses on our young defense. In my opinion, that has been one of the biggest differences. His athleticism is underrated. I am sure he will be one of the players Gettleman attempts to re-sign.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      I would rather trade for Ramsey. Alexander was great but man his injuries have been on par with Horns in the last couple years.

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.
