Ronde Barber: Steve Smith toughest receiver to cover

[pantherclaw]

Nothing but class.

He said what we already knew

A bunch of fans who watch the game saying it is one thing.

 

A high caliber player from a rival team saying it carries infinitely more weight.

Yes coming from one of the greats carries a lot more weight. Im glad too see steve getting some props from his peer

That's a pretty big compliment.

Ronde is all class and work ethic.  Steve Smith is the best because he never takes a play off and studies and out wits his opponents.  This a big part of our complaints with our young team under R. Morris.  They did not do the work and just played the part.

That was thoughtful of him to say and he's always been a very stand up guy.

It's cool when an all-time great like Rhonde is asked a question like that with all the receivers he has ever covered(Harrison,Moss,Owens,Andre Johnson,Megatron,Carter,Wayne,Welker, etc) the first name he comes to without second glance refers to his old Carolina nemesis Steve Smith.

he just didn't want to admit it was jonathan stewart

[Bronn]

In fairness....he was exposed to Smith signifantly more than those guys.

Class move by a great football player.

 

Tough job back in the day covering SS.

Great classy remarks by Barber. I have a feeling that he won't be the only corner that will say this.
