    I have to admit last year after Leonhard went down and Eric Smith got the start, I was a little nervous about him. This year, he's playing like Eric Smith 2.0.

    Witten has schooled many in this league, had another 100+ yard game yesterday and that was with Dez not playing. Over a thousand yards receiving last year and 9 TD, and that was with Kitna throwing to him for half the season.

    If everyone on our defense was perfect at everything they did what would be the point in watching. Eric Smtih is a Rex type of player, physical and has now been in this D long enough to start taking risks.

    It's hard to tell where Eric Smith is in terms of coverage, because he wasn't very effective against Dallas, even when he wasn't covering Witten, and the Jaguars are simply a shit team. If he plays well within the division, I'll start to appreciate him.
