Saints game plan for steve smith

Saints fan here. I did not like that statement. Williams should not have said it.

I suspect he wishes he could take it back. He coaches our guys to be aggressive and hit hard but I absolutely do not believe he wants our guys to be dirty players and I know our players are as good as any in the league about wanting to play a clean game.

I hope Williams steps up today and attempts to take that statement back.

Oh it's past the point of no return. It's impossible to "unsay" something.

Full Quote for you guys. I think he has great respect for Smith.

Are you familiar with the troubles that the Saints have had with Steve Smith?

“Yeah I am, and I’ve had the same issues too. It’s not like this is the first time I’ve gone against those guys. He’s an unbelievable football player. I wanted to draft him when I was the head coach of the Bills but obviously he came off the board before I had a chance to do that. In fact, his receiver coach in college was my receiver coach at the Buffalo Bills. I knew him inside and out but we couldn’t convince our personnel people to move him up the list to take him sooner. Our receiver coach up there and I wanted him a lot sooner than he was taken by anybody in the league, but he had a couple of health issues coming out. But he’s an unbelievable football player. He does things that obviously you can’t coach. He’s in a system where they’re going to do two or three things that we haven’t even seen on film where they’re going to try to scheme a big play to him. They try to walk down the path with them. Last week they did it; last week they threw one of those plays where they acted like they were going to run it and then they threw it to him on a short hitch, he nods and he goes right on by them. They do a lot of things like that. He’s so explosive. The thing that I think he does is the best is that for a little guy, when the ball goes up in the air, he plays like a 6-10 center; he goes and gets it. What you have to do is to turn his little body over so that when he does get it, he lands on his head and he doesn’t come back in for a while.”

Divisional rival game, Panthers trying to regain some respect, Saints think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, Coaches talking trash...this has all the build up of an epic battle in the dome. Hopefully Jake doesn't eff it up and we can actually play a competitive game.

I love when people say stuff about Smitty. It makes me feel all warm in fuzzy inside knowing that he is gonna have legitimate rage. He is probably saying, "they are trying to take food off my plate, keeping me from supporting my family", stuff along those lines. God I wish it was Sunday already.
