Newton Blog; Smith on Chud (again)

At first I was bothered by D-Will, Smith and others calling out Chud.  Seemed to be cheap shots.  But from this perspective you can see it is more about them buying into the new system then slamming the old.

Punching bag: For the third time this season and second by wide receiver Steve Smith, former offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski was on the receiving end of pointed remarks. 

Prior to the season, Smith blamed Chudzinski for some of Carolina's offensive problems the past two seasons. When asked about the team's lack of offensive players among NFL statistical leaders, he again brought up Chudzinski, now the head coach at Cleveland. 

“If the team goals are greater than the individual goals, then that’s the whole point,” Smith said. “I look at our old coordinator, [browns receiver] Josh Gordon has my whole stats in two games. He caught two-hundred and something yards last week [261 yards in a 32-28 loss to Jacksonville]. How many points did they score? Three? 

“A lot of years, I had great stats sitting at home in January watching other people play.”

Steve says a lot of things he probably shouldn't. What he said is true but is it really necessary to keep blasting your former coach publicly.

Steve is no longer a dominant player and it comes across as him not being able to accept himself as an average WR at age 34. It's like he has to give excuses as to why he is no longer putting up All Pro numbers.

However, the next day he'll go on the radio and talk about how he enjoys taking a back seat to the younger guys now and is just doing his part to help the team win.

Complete mind fug.

Disclaimer:

Before everyone comes running to call me an idiot and defend Steve like an overprotective mother, Steve Smith is, and will always be, my favorite athlete. I love that guy and want to see him finish his career here and play as long as he wants. He deserves a Super Bowl ring and I hope he gets one here. That said, he isn't perfect. He still says dumb stuff. Blast away.

This x10000.

 

 

In Chud's case, the "individual goal" was to get himself a head coaching gig.  Well, the Browns were dumb enough to take the bait and we are that much better for it.

Smitty mind is on getting in the playoffs and trying to get that ring. And I really hope this team can go all the way because with the way things have played out. This year is looking to be very special.

Smitty needs some stats.....

 

He needs postseason stats and a ring.  Regular season stats at this point don't mean much for having a shot at the HOF IMO..

it actually sounds like the exact opposite. it sounds like he wants to win a superbowl and doesn't give a fug about numbers

      Five wins this season.........maybe?

      I think the absolute ceiling is 5 with Bryce. I’m expecting 3. They will absolutely beat the Saints at least once, maybe twice.

      The offense made a turnover that resulted in a TD. You take that TD off the board and this would have been an entirely different game. I think Evero has the same problems that Canales has. I think they are both handcuffed to some degree due to a talent deficiency on their side of the ball. Canales doesn't have a QB capable of running his scheme. Evero doesn't have enough talent on his side to be effective in his scheme. Our highest paid d-lineman is a good run defender but contributes little to our pass rush. None of LBs would start on a contending team. Our current starting  safeties don't make impact plays. Only 2 of our 11 starters (Brown, Horn) have to be accounted for on each play. Some of this may still be their fault. It appears both have lobbied for players (via FA or the draft)who haven't contributed much. They seem hesitant to play their younger players or remain loyal to guys who just don't produce when they are on the field. As bad as this team is, you'd think they'd be dedicated to getting the young guys on the field as much as possible. Wasting #1 picks on Young and Legette and questionable selections on the defensive side of the ball has set this team back for years.

      I think we saw exactly who Bryce Young is on the final drive of the game.
