wcblack34 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 If Harrison Smith played for the Steelers or Cowboys, they'd be talking about him as a sure-fire Hall of Famer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrynoid Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Ironically, one of the things working against Smith is that Zimmer really stresses the concept of team defense: players unselfishly do their jobs to shut down the opposing offense. As Kollmann points out in his video, Smith would succeed in any kind of defensive system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The Steelers had a league-best eight selections to the 2018 Pro Bowl. The Saints and Eagles each had six players selected. The Rams had five players chosen. The Jaguars, Patriots and Vikings were among the teams with four players picked. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/19/steelers-lead-pro-bowl-selections-with-eight/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byuvike88 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The fact that Smith wasn't voted in is an utter joke. I know it's not a big deal to play in the game, but as much as of a joke it is, hall of fame voters look at pro-bowls and all-pros when they consider someone and Harry not getting in this year is unacceptable. Best safety in the league this year on one of the best defenses in the league. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Adrian Peterson is a Pro Bowl alternate. Enough said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Like others have said Pro Bowls are used as a barometer for the HOF. Only reason I care about him not getting voted to the Pro Bowl. He's only got 2 pro bowls and he should really be working on his 5th or 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Tight end Blake Bell said Monday he will have surgery later this week to repair an AC joint separation in his right shoulder. The procedure will be performed by George Lervick of Twin Cities Orthopedic. Bell was placed on injured reserve last Friday, ending his season. He said his shoulder has bothered him since he was with San Francisco last season; he aggravated it making a tackle on special teams Dec. 12 at Carolina. Bell: “It’ll be good to get it over with and get my shoulder back to normal. But it’s rough (missing the rest of the season), especially this time of the year.” https://www.twincities.com/2017/12/18/vikings-coach-mike-zimmer-wants-to-be-greedy-with-all-playoff-games-at-home/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the time a national show wanted to talk to one of our stars and when the team mentioned Harrison, the show said he wasn't a big enough name?

gopherwrestler Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Remember how we were looking for the "Face of the Franchise" after Teddy went down? We all kind of went that Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes, and some other player route. Even Dalvin Cook after the draft. Who do we feel it is now? Adam Thielen, Case Keenum? We are really truly about the ONLY team in the NFL without a true face of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
