In the 2012 playoffs, Smith had 11 catches for a 21.2 average and caught 49 during the regular season good for 8TDs. in 2011,
he had 50 catches and 7 TDs. He'll have a good season in 2013. Smith is a little faster than Gordon.
Yes, and that offense had Anquan Boldin doing the heavy lifting. What were his playoff stats? Smith and Jone will not have the opposing defenses paying attention to the monster that was Boldin. They will have to stand on their own. Maybe they can, maybe they can't.
Speed alone doesn't make a great receiver.....see Boldin, not the fastest guy.
David Heyward-Bey would be the shit if that were so.
And Ronaldo Nehemiah would not have been a bust.
I am not saying that Smith and Jones won't be good....just that they will be much more tested....and will have to pass that test against much more difficult odds.
(one of those being the vast improved Cleveland Browns defensive backfield
