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.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
