Steve Smith takes some blame....

Recommended Posts

WR Steve Smith is a dangerous player when he has the football in his hands. The problem Sunday was getting it there. Smith was the intended receiver 13 times, according to NFL statistics, but finished with just three receptions for 21 yards in the 38-10 loss to Philadelphia. Three of QB Jake Delhomme's passes to Smith were intercepted by Eagles cornerbacks -- two by Sheldon Brown and the other by Asante Samuel. After the game, Smith refused to let his buddy go down in flames alone. When asked if it's difficult to support Delhomme after his two most recent outings, Smith replied, "The Arizona game was disappointing. The Eagles game was very disappointing for everybody. I can't speak for the defense but for the offense and I'm just blaming myself because there was three times where I just really lost focus. At times like that, we really got to focus in so I failed at that. Everybody has something that they have to focus on." Smith said he still trusts Delhomme can do the job. "Yeah, I do," said Smith. "I personally trust him. Our relationship goes beyond the field. ... What he needs more than teammates is real friendship right now."

Hmm I wonder whose fault and responsibility that is.........A fox is sly...but a wolfe is more fierce and cares about the pack.
their own fault.

each player that failed to play at their best or give their best performance has only their self to blame.

the team got rattled. jake and the oline got overwhelmed and the coaches couldn't compensate for what the eagles were bringing.

they know now that this year isn't going to be as easy as last year. they know what teams are going to be looking for and what opponents are going to try and do to stop them. they know that the cardinals gave the rest of the league the blueprint of how to beat the panthers and the eagles showed that it works.

now is when they make changes....or at least when they are supposed to.

i don't expect the changes to come quickly but i don't expect the team to look as bad as they did last week.

Doesn't even sound reassuring at all, and even alludes to the fact that others HAVE lost confidence in Jake.

I don't think our players are like this, but it has happened where an O Line won't block for certain players.(RB or QB)

Hopefully it was just a payback session from our O line to Jake for what happened in AZ, and all will be normal this Sunday.(not likely though)

    • You apparently doubted Chuba's future enough to draft his replacement but then decided you were wrong? I mean....I guess kudos on adapting on the fly but maybe focus more on making better offseason decisions.
    • Starting calibur is not good enough. You can find that without giving up three picks for a guy who's going to miss a year. And those picks are critical given the current state of the roster. Brooks has to be elite or he is wasteful luxury pick for a franchise that can't afford it right now.
