martytheman Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 So glad that guy is gone, look at how this reads from the cnnsi recap of Steelers/Giants: 3. PITTSBURGH'S SPECIAL TEAMS NEED SOME WORK: The Steelers brought longtimeWashington Redskins special teams coach Danny Smith in during the offseason hoping thepassionate Smith could stoke some life into a largely blase unit. It's going to take some work. New York blocked a punt after Pittsburgh's first possession when Damontre Moore came in untouched to smother the punt off the foot of Drew Butler Things didn't get much better from there. Punt returner David Gilreath inexplicably caught a punt inside the Pittsburgh 5 early in thesecond half. A block in the back penalty put the ball at thePittsburgh 2 for the first snap of rookie quarterbackLandry Jones career. Jones botched a handoff and New York fell on it for a safety.Gilreath later let a punt smack off his facemask. The Giants recovered the muff but were unable to score.

Bang Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Now now.. remember.. he's ONLY the coach. He has no control over what the players do! Har-dee HAR HAR HAR! ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think Don Banks was one of the national guys who said Smith would bring something great to Pittsburgh. Looks like he's brought his style already. If you're on twitter, let the following folks know. @KevinS980 @ThomLoverro Last year it felt like they constantly defended Smith as a very good coach. It never made sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SB17 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 But will it take 9 years for the Steelers to realize what they have before they fire his, uh, tail end? I doubt it. If Smith hadn't left on his own, I think he'd still be with the Redskins. The PR machine that is Danny Smith is absolutely amazing. And when I see ARE doing sideline interviews during pre-season for the Redskins, it makes me ill to think that the Redskins kept him returning punts for YEARS, as if there were no better options available. Oh, well, at least Smith has hooked up with his stellar kicker, Suisham. A lot of good that "lining up" thing he did when we needed him to nail a chip-shot 30 yarder against New Orleans ... or even better when we needed him to put a kick of similar yardage through the goal posts when we played Seattle in the playoffs (second time, I believe). Nonetheless, Pittsburgh's misfortunes at special teams are just beginning. Hilarious article! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Pressure Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Reed Doughty or Mike Sellers must have missed another assignment as the personal punt protector. All the amazing coaching in the world can't make your punt team kick the ball successfully, or make your kickoff returners run north-south, or make your punt returners let the ball go for a touchback.

Boss_Hogg Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Actually the first punt attempt was a penalty (ineligible man down field) and the Giants elected for a re-kick. The second attempt was blocked. Looks just like the back to back blocked punts against the Saints and Rams in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KuNiT21 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Now we will watch the spinning death spiral of Suisham. He probably went into a corner, cuddled up in a ball, rocked back and forth, and made crying noises when he heard Danny Smith was coming to town.

Glenn X Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 When I watched the rerun of the Giants/Steelers game on NFLN recently and saw Danny Smith's goofy face, his gnashing teeth "murdering" (to quote Mr. Sinister ) that wad of chewing gum, and then I saw that terrible performance by the Steelers' special teams, I knew that Bang would be heartily chuckling to himself over this turn of events.
