Lions Game Ball Of The Week: Kevin Smith

Always loved the kids determination and work ethic. He’s obviously been humbled by what happened. I said on this blog I thought our coaches were stupid for not bringing him into training camp and really taking a good look before cutting him loose. I’m just happy they gave him another shot.

He had a ton of tread on his tires from college and his firs two years. Hopefully the time off really helped his body get back to where it should be. It certainly looks like it, as he had more burst yesterday than he’s had since at least his rookie season (if not better than ever). He looked like a different runner with how he balanced his cuts and getting down hill. He had more authority and broke some tackles he wouldn’t have a couple years ago.

Very happy to welcome him back. I think he’ll be a real treat in the passing game on Thursday as well.

Something Kevin Jones did not do… stay away from the 34 jersey…

Stafford was sick last game. Broken finger and all, he became the first qb ever to throw two 5 TD games in his first 23 starts. plus one of his picks could have been an easy TD if him an CJ are on the same page.

He was not only a huge part of our win, his performance was a unfathomable surprise to anyone who thinks they know the game.

There is a bit of… how should I say this… OVERSENSITIVITY over at the Windy City today, so be careful what you say. I had to acknowledge some kind of warning there. I think that means I have Strike 1, so I guess I can foul off another fastball, before I have to guard the plate. They must be getting into mock drafts and White Sox talk about now.

Best of luck on Thursday.

I hope this is only the beginning for Mr. Smith.

Really happy to see Kevin Smith step it up. Please give this guy the ball Thursday. Gotta beat up the Packers to beat them. You will be helping us a ton and I think Smith is the ticket for an upset.

Detroit Lions fan here, really happy for you guys and especially Kevin Smith, wishing you the best of luck down this tough stretch

I have always been a fan of Smitty but i aint gonna get all geek’d up over 1 weeks performance against a weak run def. He looks like he did his rookie year but running behind our Oline is dangerous. Good game Smith on the ground as well as the air good luck thursday and run over the Pack.

It certainly made a big difference against Carolina, but much remains to be seen. It was a surprisingly good return.

I’m not really a fan of the player, but he always was and is a class act, and good things happen to good people for a reason.

Hopefully Kevin Smith is in the past. K Smoove is da man!
