Smith Wins Rookie Of The Week.

[Cville-Raven]

Torrey Finally gets his much deserved rookie of the week, however I think we all know it should have been his second [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img]

Wait, he didn't win it for his Week 3 performance?

Nope that raiders guard won.

About time. Torrey Smith has quickly became what David Reed was supposed to be.

Everyone catch his botched punt coverage? Could've easily had them pinned in the five.

Not sure what is going on with Reed this season. He was showing some promise on S/T, but these past few weeks have shown he's either going through a really bad time in his career -- or he has hit his 'ceiling'.

I think it's this cuz he has good potential to be a very good KR, but his head is screwed up; I don't know what it is, and he needs to get it straight up before he'll be sent to practice squad or picked up by some bad teams...

I had no idea Torrey didn't win it for his 3 TD performance. That's <just wrong> if you ask me, what a blatant screw job to avoid crediting a ravens player. That was AFC Player of the week performance, not just rookie of the week performance. If a steelers rookie had 3 td catches in a game he would win it easily, it's just because he's a Raven. Personal awards don't mean anything, I'll take a team award.. it's called the super bowl

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]He could still be a good KR, just needs to protect the ball and work more on making guys miss than trying to meet them head-on. I'd hate to see him land on the PS, or get picked up by another team for one simple reason.....[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive].....his speed scares me. He, like Torrey Smith, is RIDICULOUSLY fast.[/font]

Huh????? A Guard won Rookie of The Week? Look I think it's nice that the Offensive Line gets recognition and should get more than it gets but ROTW??? Sorry. Torrey got robbed.

I think that's still the reason coaches keep him on ST, trying to get his confident back and understanding more being KR; like you said KR needs to make ppl missed or dodge incoming tackling instead of running at them.

I think it should have been his 11th... haha

I'll admit.. both me and my mom voted him over 50 times EACH

[scrock]

If Smith was more consistent he would be in the running for rookie of the year...Offensive Rookie of Year

Huzzah then my constant voting worked!

It's done by public voting
Let's face it, the Raiders have a large presence, even an international presence that the Ravens just do not have

You may see their stadium half empty but the Raiders are known around the world

Not easy for small market teams to win these public votes

Congratulations.

On a side note it looks like he's starting to open up our offense, the Niners defense was terrified of him.
