had a terrible game against Giants WR Steve Smith last week. He'll get a tougher matchup of the same name tonight.

Newman and Carolina's Steve Smith have an interesting history. They've faced each other five times, with Smith averaging 83.6 receiving yards and scoring three touchdowns in those games.

The most memorable Smith-Newman meeting was Carolina's playoff win in January of 2004, when Smith caught five passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. Newman, then a rookie, vowed to reporters in the visiting locker room that night that he would learn from the experience.

Newman got a little revenge the next time he faced Smith, holding him to one catch for 18 yards. Smith was so frustrated that he was ejected midway through the third quarter for grabbing an official.

"I like Terence Newman," Smith said during a conference call this week. "He's a competitor. He's a great guy. I respect him. I think a guy like that, when I play against Terence, I really have to pay attention and be on point. I can't have any mistakes because he'll take advantage of it."

It will be interesting to see if Newman follows Smith all over the field tonight. Wade Phillips was tight-lipped about his plans for Smith, but Newman thrives on that sort of challenge. With some safety help, Newman held notorious Cowboys killer Santana Moss to 29 receiving yards in the Cowboys' win over the Redskins last season.

Ah, I remember that ejection. Hardly as serious as it sounds, Smith was trying to get the attention of the official regarding a bad call..

      Canales still not sold on Bryce?

      By CRA · Posted

      football is a team sport.  winning comes down to the team.  evaluating an O or D?  You can do that in losing efforts.  I'd rather have an O that can do what Atl can do vs what the Panthers can do.  The Steelers ran the ball all over the Giants the week right before we did.  Which made it easy for Wilson to attack them downfield.    I mean, if there ever was a game to work on improving and growing Bryce.....games like the Giants game setup for it.  That's a QB dream setup.  A D that can't handle a run.  Makes opening up the O easy.   But we are just focused on trying to win in spite of him.

      No, just acknowledging he is on a run heavy offense, throwing to rookies who are developing but not exactly a recipe for a ton of productivity. Yet what i see as positives is actual pocket presence last 3 games, willingness and ability to stay and go through progressions, take shots downfield. He has a long ways to go but i see those as positive steps to hopefully more accelerated growth. Let’s see how they finish the year

      We had the worst passing offense in the league last year forcing the ball to AT for him to reach 1k yards. You make it sound like Bryce is middle of the pack in passing yards which almost everyone here would be fine with. But in reality he is at the very bottom. I mean the very bottom.
