i could see him filling in for Bigby if he goes down, while he has looked good so far, he can sometimes blow coverages and look bad.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

you mean like every other player who's played the game? i think if he adjusts to the system he could be dangerous. give him another year and yes, i agree with the OP.

No i mean that was the knock on him from Steeler fans. While some do it every once and a while, it seemed like he did it alot.

To me the depth chart is wrong. I think Smith should be behind Collins, with Rouse behind Bigby. Rouse has the better size to match up closer to the line.

That INT by Smith was pretty. If he can keep making plays like that, he will continue to get time on the field.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Personally i thing Smith is playing himself onto the field weather bigby is healthy or not, i could see him starting the season opener, he has experience in the defense and seems to make plays when he's out there. All DB's get torched from time to time, but i think he's actually a better coverage guy than bigby(not saying a whole lot), and isn't shy when it comes to hitting either.

I would love to see Bigby play a large role and be that intimidating player that we all know he can be, but i just haven't seen him do much at all this year.

Smith is far better than Bigby in coverage. Bigby might be the slowest safety I've seen start in the NFL. As you say, Smith is playing his way into the team, whether as a starter or as the 5th DB (Capers sometimes uses 3 safeties.)

As time goes by I'm starting to believe Bigby's 2007 season was just a fluke.

Finally, thank both of you so much. We nitpick a lot of players around here, but Bigby always seems to get a pass. I think it might be because we don't have anybody better until now. Bigby's playoff game against the Seahags a couple years ago was good, but I think he is a liability at safety for coverage but is all right in run support. I prefer Smith as well.

    beast (23h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
    beast (23h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
    beast (23h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
    Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
    Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
    beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
    wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
    Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

    Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
