This guy is one great player. I only wish we could find a place for him in the starting line up. What a player.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
The defense bent but it didn't break against the Vikings! You all have to remember that this was just a preseason game and the Viking have a very HUGE O-line. They were in front of their home crowd and lost to the Raiders the week prior to playing us. ..We stuffed the run and forced them to pass. ...A little like Superbowl XXXV ....I am not putting this defense in the same category, but it has a strange and peculiar feeling

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
I really like this kid.
The Lewises are a great part of our present and our history, but the SMITHS are our future.
I would give him another year, but Mike Smith has the potential to be a very good starter in this league. We could draft a MLB and pair him with Smith and have Bart on the outside. We just have a great eye for LB talent.
What could we have in a Ryan Lacasse, who may not make the team, but will be on STs.It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
I am not sure who you were watching, but Ngata was detroying his guy most of the night. Our run D was solid and CT was getting pounded at the line.
Ngata definitely still has lots of room for improvement, but the jump from the Eagles game to the Minn game, was rather substantial IMO.
Sorta unrelated, but I've been real impressed with Trevor Pryce on the DLine. He's been a monster on passing downs, causing havoc & having his way with Olinemen. The numbers haven't reflected at all, how well he's played so far.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
Ngata played very well on Friday. He rebounded from his debut performance.
I can remember that Ken Williams was not that effective at DT during his rookie season, and now he is very good.
Expectations for Ngata should be just to take on the double-team and keep Ray Lewis free. If he does that, he should the Ravens rookie of the year. In two to three years, Ngata will become that passrush DT that we need.
Bottomline, while Kemo is looking good in Carolina, it took him four years to get there while Ngata is already there.It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
I set the bar pretty high on Ngata and since I have re-grouped. Mainly from TC. He was camped in the backfield on virtually every snap. The Redskins scrimmage, he did the same. But after getting hurt, abd then going up against a stoud oline in the iggles was a humbling back to earth journey for him. I still think we have a potential stud at DT and it also allows Gregg to play his natural nose positin where he is very disruptive.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
BTW: I like what I see in Mike Smith and I wonder how he would do facing 1st string offense.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
Mike Smith will make the roster this year and by next year, he will be good enough to rotate in whenever Ray is tired. Rack it.
