Harrison Smith, safety, Minnesota. Smith led the Vikings with eight tackles in the 24-16 win over San Francisco, but that’s not why he’s winning this. He wrecked the Niners’ last two drives in a one-score game when Jimmy Garoppolo had given the Niners life. On third-and-five at midfield with 6:32 left, Smith came on a well-disguised safety blitz and nailed Garoppolo for a 10-yard sack. Punt. On second-and-10 with 1:45 left, Garoppolo threw deep downfield, over the middle, and Smith picked it off, ending the game. Just two more reasons why Smith is the best all-around safety in football.

I know the general thread is being clogged up with Bears/Packers talk but it'd probably be okay to put this one over there

One of the most brain dead plays I have ever seen by Clay Matthews. Trubisky throwing a pass on fourth down and gets it off. Matthews takes two steps and hits him hard with one arm going to the head. The refs had no choice but to call it.


Not only that he launched himself into the air at him. Pretty sure a hefty fine will be coming his way. In fact a 1 or 2 game suspension SHOULD be coming his way. Considering that they fined our backup LBer in the preseason for a hit on a scrub QB that most people scoffed that a penalty was even called.

He's a Puker. No way is a suspension coming.

He was a guy on many of our radar. Be interesting to see how productive he is.

Yes it will. My best guess is if Carolina hadn't picked him we would have.

Schefter provided some clarification on Kendricks’ sentencing and potential punishment. While the player was originally scheduled to be sentenced in December, Schefter says the date has been moved to late January.
This is important when it comes to Kendricks’ playing status, as it’d mean he’d be able to play the entire season (barring a suspension). Schefter also notes that the linebacker is facing 30 to 37 months in prison, a far cry from the 25 years that was originally suggested.

I'm sure they will. I wonder how long?

I read two games. But, that's speculation I'm sure.

Two games at least and maybe four is the way I'm hearing it. Sony Michel had the same procedure if I understand correctly and if he plays this week he will have been out a month.

Yeah, five roughing the passer penalties handed out throughout the league but good old Clayroid gets nada for probably the most egregious one of all. Go figure.

Sorry but I didn't see this had been covered in depth on the General thread. Still pisses me off though.

Adrian Peterson Wants To Play Three, Four More Years
Sep 14, 2018 8:27 AM

Adrian Peterson is the starting running back for the Washington Redskins at 33 years old and he doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon.
"Three to four more years would be ideal," Peterson said. "Not to say it hasn't been done before, but not at a high level. So of course I plan on playing three to four more years, and I plan on playing those years at a high level as well."
With 96 yards last Sunday, Peterson moved into 10th place on the NFL's all-time rushing list. He trails Tony Dorsett by 367 yards for ninth place and would need nearly 6,000 yards to surpass Emmitt Smith at the top of the list.
"The best player ever to play is my mindset," Peterson said. "Being able to sit back and say I had a great time playing the game I love and I won a world championship and I was the best at my position."

I think all the kids he needs to provide for has a lot to do with his desire to play several more years.

Wasn't Floyd's procedure officially botched? I'm guessing Floyd had that procedure and more.

Le'Veon Bell Remains Leery About Heavy Workload
Sep 14, 2018 8:33 AM

Le'Veon Bell recently had a conversation with former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew and expressed his concerns about being overused in what will almost certainly be his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"[Bell] was happy for James Conner after that performance but that performance justifies why he's not there right now," Jones-Drew said on the Dave Dameshek Football Program. "If you're going to give James Conner 31 carries, imagine how many you'd give to Le'Veon Bell?"
Bell also told Jones-Drew that there's nothing personal about what he views as a business decision to stay away from the team.
"[Bell] said to me, 'People think that I don't like Pittsburgh, I don't like James Conner, I don't like these guys,'" Jones-Drew said. "He was like, 'Yes, I was disappointed they went out and spoke about my contract,' understandably so. He was like, 'But I still want them to do well, they're still guys that I work with and guys that I've put in this extra work with — blood, sweat and tears like I still want them to do well.'"
Mike Florio/Pro Football Talk

99% of all NFL RBs want more workload not less. To me Bell doesn't love Football and it is just a business to him.

Plus you would think the guy has just made peanuts so far. He will have made $26M in the last 2 seasons on the Franchise Tag.

It would be interesting to know what the Steelers have offered him.
