[News] Za'Darius Smith Steps Up Intensity In Two-Sack Game

[Crusader]

What was the word for the Ravens? CONSISTENCY!

well i think Z.Smith has a chance to be something special for us. too early to tell which side of the coin he'll end up but he did a good job exploding onto the scene for us against the squeelers. if he can just turn into a 10-13 sack guy i'd be happy with that. i think he's more in the mold of Upshaw with the way the jacks up blockers but i'm thinking he has more natural pass rush ability because of his natural athleticism.

There were people bashing Upshaw on the Raven's FB page which I found funny. These people don't understand that Upshaw is mainly a run stopper because of his size and strength whereas Za'Darius is a pass rusher who is more athletic. They split reps based on formations and types of plays we use. Our main issue at the moment is CONSISTENCY AS A WHOLE as my man CRUSADER mentioned before. We either show up or we don't and until that changes, we will be considered mediocre. Cheers!
