Re: OTA Tidbits
Jimmy Smith went 26th overall in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft.
So Arnie is right, looks like we could potentially be looking at having to use the franchise tag on Jimmy Smith in 2015 (cue the remarks about him being a bust and how I'm crazy to say that). I'm just looking at the possibility of him significantly improving as a pro and being able to play man instead of zone, which is where his strength lies.

Re: OTA Tidbits
I don't think you're crazy. The thing I like about Jimmy is that he steps up in big games, last year in the AFCCG and this year in the Super Bowl (and throughout the playoffs. His tackle on Holiday in OT was one of the biggest plays of our season). Jimmy was lined up opposite Crabtree I think every snap on the final stand. That shows that the coaching staff trusts him. You can't teach "stepping up in big time games".

Re: OTA Tidbits
DT's routes vs. CIN week 17 were nothing special, but clearly he has improved, and if he can technically run routes come game-time like I've seen him run them so far this spring then this offense is going to give people some serious trouble.
He's not a path to be Welker 2.0 or Cruz 2.0.
BION...I think he's a lot closer to Tim Brown 2.0.Last edited by BigPlayReceiver; 06-04-2013 at 10:37 PM.

Re: OTA Tidbits
I 100% agree with this post. Last year's team was one of our weaker teams in recent memory. Frankly, I think this could be the start of a mini-dynasty (an impressive 3-5 year run that gets us at least one more championship), and you pretty much outlined exactly why I feel that way.
