Expect a HUGE game from Smitty Monday night...

[the butch]

The last four games against Talib 

 

9 Yards 

23 Yards

61 Yards

106 Yards

 

Someone do the math and tell me what's next in this sequence? 150?

 

Averaging out the increase in numbers, Steve will have 130.25 receiving yards.  Perfect logic.

 

I don't think Talib is a shadow one receiver type CB. Doesn't he stay on one side in their base defense? I could be wrong but I thought at least in TB he stayed on the left only.

 

Against NE, he went wherever Graham went, right?

I still have nightmares about the 2004 MNF game with Greenbay.  I hope Smith does well.  btw. Carolina hasnt been in a monday night game since 2009.

steve smith has yet to be shutdown this whole season IMO, he's average over 50 yards majority of our games this season.............he himself has cause his own production to got down by this drops but i believe in smith he's going to have one heck of a 2nd half of the season, i still believe he will crack 1000 yards

Yeah I saw that too

[nickzz]

talib always seemed to do very well against a younger smith. i wouldn't expect a huge game.

[BigBoss]

Eh I feel like we've had this kind of topic for at least 4-5 games this year and it hasn't happened. We'll see. If Talib plays I doubt he does anything special.

[AceMan]

3 Rec., 51 yards, 1 TD = Huge game

[Trenches]

Aqib Talib is Prime Time this year, Steve Smith will not get anything.  Alfonzo Dennard on the other side is no cake walk either

[beastson]

Zod is usually 50-50

 

Please don't be on the wrong side of that 50

Talib will attempt a tackle on Tolbert and that will be the end of his night..................Smith will be in tall cotton after that.

Newton throws a high volume at 89.....and isn't elite anymore.

If they put Talib on him isn't taking Talib out of the game.....bc Cam will still try to complete balls to him. Means high odds for wasted downs or turnovers.

Yep agree...and that's the concern to me.

 

Find the open guy, not the comfortable guy...and I don't believe Bellinchek thinks Newton will find the 'open' guy.

 

I just think a heavy and effective run game solves a lot of this on all fronts.

 

3 fine RBs use them, over Receivers who aren't so fine in comparison.

 

It makes the play action believeable and buys Newton a few fractions of a second he needs.

 

Move the chains and score.

 

Personally, I'd love for Newton to have the game of his life Monday night...don't care if it is as a game manager, runner, thrower, whatever it is....but, I'm a fan.
