DID YOU SEE THAT?

You’d think after watching him every day for going on nine years, you’d stop being amazed by Steve Smith. I’m not. He routinely makes plays in practice that would lead SportsCenter if there were cameras rolling. Tuesday’s latest jaw-dropper was a reverse run, during which he made at least five cuts or stop-and-go moves. The last one left Julius Peppers (as nimble as anyone else on the roster) standing flat, as Smith cut inside and dashed upfield.

Smith has no fear on the field, and practices as hard as any player I’ve ever seen. NUMBER OF THE DAY: 10

Pounds lost by 290-pound DT Nick Hayden, so he could replace the 345-pound (give or take a few dozen) Kemoeatu. Unless you’re a behemoth, they want you quick in this system, so Hayden peeled off some weight before camp. SIDELINES

The camp’s gone twitter-crazy. DeAngelo Williams doesn’t do it, saying it was like “sending text messages to people you don’t know.” Coach John Fox has warned them not to write anything they’d regret, and to be smart. Otherwise, he doesn’t seem to care. It’s not his deal, but he’s not militant about it.

:lol: @ the bolded comment

Wonder if people around here understand that twitter is just an addition to the camp coverage/write ups instead of a replacement? As soon as people get back, they write up what they see...but it's only been 2 damn days.

FYI to all: If you've gone to camp and have some info but are too shy to post it, just PM me or one of us and we'll get it out. Thanks in advance.

Stew is a pretty media/network savy dude.

He strikes me as a cat that would be making serious cash even if he wasn't in the NFL.

Social Networking is bringing him $$$'s with his record label I'm sure.

Agreed. One ring would seal the deal. But I think smitty could close out his career with 800 yard seasons and still be in contention. I think 3 more 1,000+ seasons and he's a first ballot HOFer

I don't think anyone who blind sides their own teammate and breaks that teammate's face in the process will ever be first ballot. He will get in but I doubt any assortment of stats will be able to make it a first ballot deal.

..sorry OP. I know, off topic

    • There will be times you think the pass is going to go way over his head or wide and he'll have no chance to get there and then he'll just do his Inspector Gadget thing and use his go go gadget arms to extend out there to pluck the ball out of nowhere
    • Tmac has elite hands..  and elite body control.   Argue against those things all you want, I'll just ignore the bullshit as usual.   
    • Yep, even if you put aside any discussion about what you think about him as a player or how good he'll be, the one thing that is a 100% certainty is that he's going to make some plays that just drop your jaw and question how he did what we just saw. This is interesting as it was something I'd never even thought/heard of until he was walking on stage after we took him.  One of the analysts on NFL Network brought it up saying something like, "I don't agree with this idea, but I know a lot of college coaches tell the star WRs to purposefully take plays off when they know it's not coming to them" It was interesting because the way he said it, almost sounded like he's heard that it was something the Arizona coaches would tell T-Mac to do.  Which on a team like ours last year, actually makes a ton of sense, because we had NOBODY else who the defense had to worry about.  So instead of taking him off the field to give him a breather, just throw him out there on the far side of the field as a dummy to keep the defense's attention and then run a play in the other direction. You're right, he isn't "as quick" as Evans, because he's quicker.  Sure, Evans does use his body better than T-Mac does, but T-Mac is a better athlete with more wiggle to his game and better at making a defender miss whereas Evans is just more likely to run through you. And your edit here is basically just an add on to my above comment, as personally, I've used the AJ Green comp for him ever since his first game for us at Arizona, it was always who I saw in his game.  He has that fluidity that Green had to him, and at their size it stands out. Actually saw another comp last night that I hadn't seen before, and while I'll admit it's been YEARS since I've seen any film of him, my immediate reaction was, "oh wow, that might be a real solid comp for style of play" And that was of Plaxico Burress. I'd like to see T-Mac have a better overall career than Plax had (especially off the field), but from what I remember about his game, the comp for body/style of play actually seems pretty solid
