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


Huell

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
