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

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
