89 Conference Call

[rayzor]

the level-headed steve smith in that conference call is not the same steve smith we'll be facing on sunday nor is it the same steve smith that has been running his mouth about the panthers to reporters.

all sentimentality will be gone on his part and it should be gone on ours. you can be a fan of his after the game, but during the game he wants nothing more than to beat and embarrass your team. he is a key to their being able to win and shutting him completely down is in our team's best interest. i want for him what i want for any opponent, a painful loss. if they win, i want them leaving in a lot of pain as well. whether his team (which isn't the panthers) wins or loses, i want him/them hurting the next day.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

so far Cam is not better off.

 

 

His best season as a passer thus far

 

 

So far in 2014 both Greg Olsen and KB are matching Steve Smith's production with less targets.

Just saying

 

 

I realize that Cam has been hampered by the ankle and rib dings (term does not do injuries justice) but this is now his team and his offense.  Not Steve Smith's.  Cams limitations this year have absolutely nothing to do with Smith not being here.

This reminds me of Kill Bill. "That woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die"

Some of you will try to make up any reason to justify letting Smith go. As much as I miss him I'll be glad after this game is over so the subject will be in the past. And those of us that want to still follow him can do it quietly

so you are saying it wasn't his team before, that this was SS's team? just for the record.

quietly, yeah right.

[AceBoogie]

Just listened. Almost cried to be honest, been watching the guy since I was 13 years old. This Sunday is going to be a hard one for me.

[MCC]

Mighty Mouse lol.  He hated that.  

[Marc Anthony]

Love Smitty, still have his Jersey. But don't forget that this is a business, if the Ravens wipe their ass with a win, and Smitty is a part of that win, you all will be talking poo about Smitty, especially if he taunts and talks poo during the game.

[Pox 08]

Wasn't Mighty Mouse a nickname of Sam Mills when he was a Saint?

[Davidson Deac II]

Without a doubt benefited KB?

Nothing supports that thought process...89 never helped any investment we had at WR early on. Only guys who occasionally showed small interest in were longshots.

 

Who did we have that Steve Smith might have been able to help?

[Pox 08]

We have some clingy fans when it comes to SS89.

Jeremy is correct about some of the players' opinions, no doubt.  But just like I told Jeremy in another thread  several days ago, there's no way that you're telling me that everyone in the locker room was against Smith. Anyone that has enough life experience knows that there were people who were shocked that Smith got axed and, if nothing else, were privately in disagreement with how everything went down with his release.
