Yeah, I get it, he did it in high school and college. This is the NFL though, He hasn't earned the right to have a signature move at this level. One good play in one preseason game does not earn you that. Cool your jets rookie. Shawne Merriman and his "lights out" dance say hi. Make some plays in games that matter. Earn your spot on the field. Then, think about celebrating. I hear what you're saying and I'm more of a make the play and get on to the next play. That being said Smith had such a long road to get to last night I'll cut him some slack. It was an emotional moment for him and his teammates. He needs work but I was ecstatic when he made that tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if its like the Ware sack ground smash, ill take it. I loved it when Ware did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northland Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 One of the concerns I have was something the broadcast team brought up last night. A lot of our draft picks are missing playing time due to nagging injuries especially the dbs. Our young guys in the secondary are going to get thrown into the deep end of the pool pretty quickly and they need all the reps they can get.

No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every play? No. I mean, he was averaging 5.9 yards per carry during a 96 carry 4 game stretch. Lots of runs were big or tough. Had he been fed more in the Packers game we may have won. I'm not the biggest fan of trade mark celebrations but I don't recall him calling for carry's after TFLs. He just had a lot of big runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well as long as it isn't a big production celebration let it go It is real standard now across the league for every WR to make the 1st down motion after a catch let him make the swipe rhen huddle up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That moment? That moment was everything. Happy for the kid. Take the L? No. My bitterness spawned almost a page of discussion. That is a W for the forum.
