KFFL reports Cam targeted him 9 times and he caught 8 of them against Tennessee (his catching percentage was a drastic difference from his usual ability to convert a target into a reception). In contrast, throws to Smith went for 5/8, 33 yards; Olsen was especially terrible last week going 4/11 for 45 yards; Shockey was only targeted once and he caught it. LaFell was at 1/2 for 18 yards.

This may be a new strategy for teams: try to take our playmakers out of the passing game and force us to beat them with Naanee. ....we couldn't beat Memphis with Naanee. Maybe Indy though.

I believe a lot of team take Nan for granted because of his drops and fearful way of playing of late. They rather focus their attention on Smitty, Olsen, and Schokey. If Nan and a couple of the other receivers can really start gelling with Cam, I think a lot of teams will start having way more respect for this team's offense.

Now if the coaches can just light a fire under the behinds of the defense and special team, can u imagine where this team could be?

The only problem with your last statement is that you have to have the players to light a fire under.

You could sit me on top of a fire as long as you wanted and I couldn't help the defense. You have to have talent along with the desire.

The INT hit Naanee in the hands (granted, it was behind him.)

The receivers need to learn to catch the ball that is in their vacinity. Every ball isn't going to be perfectly thrown like in practice...Dalton throw a ball on Sunday that was in traffic. It could have easily been pick-off but A.J. Green knew enough to turn around and jumped up and grabbed the ball while two defenders from Pittsburgh were all over him. Do u guys feel Nan would have been able to do that?

    • THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
