Props to Danny Smith

Despite all of the crap we here give Danny Smith, he deserves to be recognized. Blocked field goals just don't happen. He had something to do with that. Also, Randle El is averaging about 12 yards per punt return and Rock about 25 yards per kickoff return. These are the small things that help win games. He deserves a thumbs up even if he doesn't get one.

I've got to agree with you. Despite some of my earlier apprehensions, the special teams have really been a highlight this season, in retrospect. Rock Cartwright seems to be emerging as a legit threat at KR, and Randle El seems to have a sweet return every game. Our coverages look good. Hell, even ol' Derrick Frost is doing pretty well.

Props to Danny Smith. It's pretty obvious right now that special teams are one of our biggest assets.

No doubt, the game was won by special teams today. I have to give Smith props today and if the special teams continue to shine, I will admit being totally wrong about Smith.

Props to Coach Smith again, that blocked field goal was a direct result of our special teams coaching. Santanadasaviour is right, Smith found something and it helped win us the game.

Also, I have heard from a few unconfirmed sources that Smith sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for Novak's game winning field goal. If you freeze frame closely you can see the exact moment when the ball starts to hook in mid-flight and Smith's soul exits his body and descends promptly to the depths of Hell.

Thanks Danny, the team and the fans owe you a solid.

BTW, Frost hit a perfect pooch punt and we had a defender there to field the ball but he muffed it and let it get the end zone. From what I saw, I believe it was Rocky McIntosh that flubbed that play. Am I correct? I have not seen a replay.

Shally is right. It was Carlos Rogers...aka...hands of stone. Good to see he's consistant.

That was Rogers, are you sure? Of course, that would make sense considering how bad Carlos' hands are. I could swear I saw the #52, though.

My bad then, but as I said before, I'm not surprised. Carlos has the worst hands I have ever seen from a skill player.
