He didn't have to make the trip yesterday. But he did and gave encouragement from the sidelines. He didn't walk with any limp and was on the exercise bike quite a bit during the game. I expect he will be 100% ready to go next weekend.

That will be great if he is he is ready next weekend since he has two to heal.

Smitty knows that this is possibly his last chance to get deep in the playoffs and he will do everything in his power to play.  He isn't going to risk permanent injury either. I don't blame him a bit.  I don't question his fire and desire at all and couldn't see why anyone would.

I see him playing the divisional round sparingly. Rotating in. If we get in a situation where we need him, he'll be out there, for sure. But I don't think we're going to push our luck. We win the divisional game, then I think we'll see Smitty in his usual role for the NFCCG.


Best believe he will be telling guys how hard they played to get to the SB in 03. Having him here is great come playoff time for us. He knows what it takes to get there and knows the intensity needed. I remember him taking that punt to the house in the playoffs when we needed that momentum swing. That was when he stopped taking punts, but insisted on taking that one. Wasn't a question of whether or not it was going to the house the second he started running with it.

Good times

Does anyone else see the miracle in this situation?

 

89 is friggen BEAST MODE in the playoff. Now he will have had 3 weeks of REST and 3 weeks of hunger for the game that he knows he is in the twilight years of...

 

I am thinking this is a HUGE blessing in disguise...  

 

Dude will go off in the playoffs. 89 just got almost a month off to ice up and get 100% when everyone else is going to be tired as hell.

 

LOVIN it!!!

He's going to be a coach someday, hopefully with us. I can't imagine him stepping away from the game forever.

When he retires, he needs to 1) get a permanent sports talk radio gig in Charlotte and 2) replace Eugene Robinson on the Panthers Radio Network. Smith is great when he does his weekly spot on WFNZ.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
