TrufantIsland Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Quizz is done - this could be Antone Smith's chance? Against this defense, we have to establish a running game early and Smith will provide us with a chance of pace - do not expect to burst for plus 50 yards og even get more than a few carries.. It all comes down to how well Jackson plays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Its just gonna be good to give the kid a chance. If not now when will we? I'm just hoping for the win. And if they don't. I pray the saints screw up and some how lose their playoff spot to Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbigdog35 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Good now we can see smith get more looks but snelling is probably going to be backup to SJAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Good now we can see smith get more looks but snelling is probably going to be backup to SJAX. Yeah, I'd like to see Antone Smith get some snaps, too.....but seems like he tweaked a knee a couple of games ago, and hasn't been in the mix, lately, that I remember. Anyway, Snelling has been able to take the load before, when Turner went down. So, between him and S. Jax, we should be alright in the running game.....that is, if our OL decides to come to work...

Knight of God Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nah guys. We shouldn't play Vaughan or Smith. Then we might just win and hand the division over to the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharma Initiative Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 There's nothing that suggests Quizz is better than Smith at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The O.D.B Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 There are not enough snaps to go around. He may be allowed to get one touchdown but, back to the bench after that. Let's hope his touchdown doesn't give us the lead or win the game or he may be cut before he gets back to the bench...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaigle Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Antone Smith and Chase Coffman are not allowed to touch Smitty's football.I like Mike Smith but he has his quirks.I've been wondering and have asked in several threads and no-one has answeredQuestion--does Mike Smith decide which players are in on every play??Sounds to me that would be the job of the position coaches.--that's how most teams do itie Robiskie decided which WRs are in play by play .. the RB coach decided when to switch RBxSO just WHO is really keeping players like A Smith and Coffman out ot the game?

Whoever it is has shown a remarkable amount of rigidity. Coffmancaught a pass this time last year. Antone Smith has been absolutelyphenomenal on his chances. He probably has more yards per carrythis season than any running back in the history of the Nfl. It has to be Intentional. Some system of pre-determined roles.

Can't have fumbles guys, you know that. who ever your are.....you are just like what Smith says. Then again anyone could talk like him by now. But you are doing a good job thus far.

Bundini Brown Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Aww man I'm hoping antone gets plenty touches and runs for like 180 with a ypc avg in the area of 5.6 to 6.3 and scores 3 to 4 TDs. So that I can be p*ssed when next year's roster drops and he's 4th on the depth chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yep sarcastic, like many I've been dieing to see what smith can do with more carries.I had High hopes when the Falcons signed him to the PS after the Lions cut him in 2009.He holds/held a lot of RB records as the #2 best back ever at Fla State behind Warrick Dunn.He hasn't gotten chances WHY? in 2010 he had 1 carry for -3 yards and I think he did drop a few passes in 2010and maybe dropped a pass or 2 in 2012 -no rush attempts in 2011/2012if my memory is any good I think in 2010 they were trying to make a Snelling Clone out of A Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-Nite-Toker Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 SJax/Quizz had a 4yrd av. on 18 carries against Car last game...it will be interesting to see if we run the ball more than 20x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrufantIsland Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 They ofc have a gameplan - but it changes through a game. It depends on how well things are going - It seems like they keep riding jackson for at least 15-20 carries PG and the other 3 have to grab what they can..
