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.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

I could see that as being a far more realistic comparison.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

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:

Oh my lol

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.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

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.
