I literally watched every minute of every game of Smith's career and broke down film of about 70% of those games and Smith is a very, very solid player.
He is fast (4.5 range in the 40 and it shows on the field), athletic (34 inch vertical and 4.12 short shuttle time - outstanding) and he is...
Consistency is achieved by playing a lot with the guys around you, getting a ton of both practice and game reps so you can start to predict what your teammates are going to do in a given situation.
Bringing in a new guy isn't necessarily going to improve consistency.
Also, this notion of...
He can say whatever he wants, but he is wrong about this.
I would have no problem with a teammate having a good time despite the loss. The world isn't ending because the Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl.
I do understand what you're saying, but the very title of the rule implies a subjective component, in which case the call should not have been made.
It is yet another rule that is insufficiently explained in the NFL. NFL officials need to take a good, long look at the rulebook this offseason.
I contend that intent could not clearly be inferred from what happened on that play. It was not necessarily the wrong call, but not necessarily the right call either.
It is not a black and white rule, therefore it should not have been called.
The need for intent is implied in the wording of the actual rule: "Intentional grounding of a forward pass."
So, to call a rule "Intentional grounding" inherently states that intent on the part of the QB IS, in fact, necessary to make the call.
Indeed, beyond that, the fact that there was pressure - which made it a penalty in the first place - could have influenced the throw.
It was a terrible call, absolutely horrible. It definitely impacted the game, but there were bad calls against both teams. Moore got to the receiver early a...
BJGE is 220 lbs, he is big enough and runs hard enough to be the power back. You just have to commit to it and not miss blocks at crucial times. I understand leaving the backside DE unblocked when he's a plodding run stopper, but how do you leave arguably the Giants' best player who possesses...
