Smith is going to have to do more than just excel at timing routes with one WR.

And for all his "robotic goodness," it didn't help him a lick on third-down for his entire career.

If we can't convert third downs our significantly less-than-#2-defense is going to wilt.

A fair enough post.

This somehow reminds me of posting my own personal epiphany about Reid no more than 48 hours before he was signed, long after i had made many impassioned posts saying how incredibly stupid choosing him would be... i was startled with myself for changing so quickly.

But i literally changed my view 180 within fifteen minutes of seriously pondering why Reid would still be coaching football after his ordeals, and i thought...

"Here is a proven winner with all of the pedigrees, who is going to forego any kind of life break whatsoever in his singleminded chase for the Ring... and he wants to BURN IN here in pursuit of it?"

Thats EXACTLY the kind of fanaticism that changed my mind that night... if a driven guy like that isnt yet satisifed with his accomplishments, and wouldnt have a clue what to do with himself without football... then PLEASE feel welcome to fix it with my team.

Point is, if he covets Axl even half as much as some say, then his one track mind has spent many a feverish hour considering all of the angles... Axl will do -for now-, reid surely knows he isnt getting any younger, he wants to get back to contention NOW.

Throw in a no nonsense Dorsey to control the rudder... and i'm trying to be hopeful and believe theres a method to the madness.
