Mike friggin' Smith
Who ever would have thought this guy would be so effective? Once again he blasts in unblocked and crushes somebody in the backfield. Is he just getting lucky or is this guy just a stud?
On a side note, I hated the Ngata pick on draft day, and I'm hating it even miore now. :grbac:

Ngata will be fine.
It's good to know we have someone to step up at MLB, if Ray were to go down.

Mike Smith is a beast. He's playing like he's going to be the starting MLB this year! Are we looking at the future of our linebacker position with Scott, Smith, Cody?

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
Better than Ray? I'll wait on that one. Yes, I like the fact he's younger and busting through the line and crushing dudes in the backfield, but what would Ray do in the same situation? Also, while it is impressive Smith can time the QB's cadence, can he shed and tackle and can he cover like Ray? I hate to compare Smith to Nate Bolling but remember this is preseason.
As for Ngata, I don't expect sacks, I just expect him to go forward and control his man. It wasn't happening.

Mike plays with Rays intensity without a doubt. And to think this guy almost didn't make the team last year.

I'll agree though that he (Mike Smith) has had as much, or more, impact so far as any defensive player we have. Now...let's see if Mike has durability.
Ngata will look better and better as time goes by, watch and see.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
Even though it was just preseason its nice to see Mike Smith has the right mindset to go all out and make a mark on this team for the future.
Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
I am not surprised by Mike Smith's play this preseason at all. I remember seeing him last season playing in the preseason and he was all over the place as well.
It's looking like he will be our starting MLB later on down the road.

Re: Mike friggin' Smith
I almost forgot about the starting defense. How many great runs did Chester get on that team??? 10 rushes for 27 yds! I like those stats. If you can't run on us, thats a start.
