SkinsandCanes Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Steve Smith? The reason I ask is that Carolina has no problem letting Smith return punts, but we continue to let one of the best punt returners in the NFL rot on the sidelines in favor of Antonio ( I can't catch a cold ) Brown. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HittinSkinz Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 no he is no more or less valuable than steve smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalDragon Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Steve Smith seems more impressive to me, I don't know why though. Their offense is very similar to ours but hes been more productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Joe Gibbs used to use Darrell Green to return punts in key situations. Talk about a valuable player. It's definitely a risk-reward kind of thing. Is it worth it? If AB scares JG as much as he scares me, I'd certainly think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Steve Smith is a clone of Santana but because their QB has a great arm and can get the ball out there fast the WR screen is working wonders against them. Face it Joe Brunell in not the answer for the entire year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I hope Gibbs is worrying about HIS TEAM, not the Bears or Panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Steve Smith seems more impressive to me, I don't know why though. Their offense is very similar to ours but hes been more productive. He has a QB with a huge arm man. You see how fast these passes are getting out there on the WR screens? Ramsey would be getting the ball out there just as fast if not faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I haven't really spent alot of time on the board the past almost 2 days, ( just getting in from Seattle), but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that maybe Brunell not being the answer may have been discussed here just few times already.

Ignatius J. Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think the fact that this panthers team has been together a while has been a lot more important. This is santana's first year with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It's SCOTT Brunell thank you very much. If you're gonna diss him at least get the man's name right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Santana Moss is every bit the receiver Steve Smith is. But Carolina is using Smith.......something Brunell/Gibbs did not do this postseason. You got to get the ball in their hands and let them do their thing. Sonny Jurgensen was practically begging the Redskins yesterday to use Moss. It's been painful to watch how Carolina has used Steve Smith and to compare that to the ineptness of our QB/passing attack to get a ball to Moss. Carolina has thrown the ball up for Smith to go and make a play. We've all heard how great Moss is at long ball adjustment and yet we didn't throw it deep to Moss and give him a shot to make some plays. Carolina has thrown the WR screen to Smith at least 5 times. Skins threw it once to Moss and then seemed to give up on it. Carolina puts Smith back on PR. We have literally a non-entity as our punt returner and we still don't use Moss back there. We wasted Santana Moss's considerable talents in both playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Burgundy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 although they are roughly the same size, Steve Smith "looks" a little more durable than Santana, I don't know why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsandCanes Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I just can't understand why we don't use Moss on punt returns. If Carolina has no problem risking Smith, we should have no problem risking Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
