Quote:I still see him as the next Simeon Rice. He has both speed and power. And I really think he will have a breakout year.
I think you meant to say Derek Brooks
I think the OP may have meant Derrick Brooks. Brooks was undersized coming out of FSU as well playing OLB at the time.

I could see that as being a far more realistic comparison.
I hope to hell he's a Hall of fame type player.
Jesus guys, he had a decent rookie year...let's not start making the mold for Canton yet...

That's a good comparison. Telvin Smith is exactly like any bronze bust in Canton, only quicker, and carrying around a full torso, arms, legs, and the ability to actually move. Other than that, exactly the same.

Is it just me or do you agree that Denard Robinson has a little bit of Walter Payton in him ?

There's a procedure to have that removed.
... let me rephrase that .... :mellow:
Since when can people not have opinions? And make mistakes. Still reminds me of Rice. But brooks a great player as well.

I think since 2004
HaHaHa This is a joke right? Rice was massive! he was 220 probably in his sophomore year of High School. Opinions are opinions, I get it, but you're way off. Telvin isn't even a pass rusher! do you even football?
Just got done watching Film Room: Telvin Smith again and I have to say, this guy is going to start a trend of teams looking for LBs that can move just like him.
Easily Caldwell's biggest steal. I didn't get to watch much last year but he's a Brian Dawkins-style sure tackler.
Quote:Geez give the OP a break. He just wanted to spark a little discussion in the off-season.
Following the spirit of the thread I would like to throw out there that Luke Bowanko reminds me a lot of Steve Atwater.
GOLD^^^^
The way Telvin Smith played and improved upon as a rookie, and now if the added weight doesnt hinder his speed he should be in the Pro Bowl this season.
