Robb Smith

[Arkansas WR]

I like the aggressive playstyle. Especially love hearing about the corners practicing press coverage. I was so tired of seeing them 10 yards off the ball every play and not having a chance for an interception, or being able to help stop the run. Robb Smith has been impressive in every interview i have watched him in. Im ready to see what this new style of defense can do.

Take a xanax...or a vacation.

I'll take 30 of the former and 7 of the latter....

You do realize this is the best staff ever assembled anywhere and if we were smart we would sign them all to lifetime contracts and give them all a lifetime membership in the jelly of the month club.

Ive only been on here a couple of years but it seems like everyday somebody has to mention how great the staff is and its the best ever at Arkansas. What ever happened to the old adage let their record speak for itself?

But I totally agree with your post, it gets quite comical right up until the point reality sets in.

One thing I love about the schedule this year...  No excuses out of the gate!  We'll know immediately where we stand.  No kicking reality down the road as we string together 10 point wins--and struggle doing it--over third-tier teams we should be smashing by 30.

* No "it's only the first game and we just aren't clicking yet."  (Plenty of teams look mighty good in game one, why can't we ever?)

* No "the coaches are holding back most of the playbook for tougher competition later on."  (When has our play ever looked *significantly* different between easier and tougher competition?)

This is normally the case. However I have heard a lot of the DB's mention Coach Smith

So true, but made me laugh  +1

They'll deny it til they're blue in the face, but these very people said the same exact things about Petrino and his staff of Carroll College cult followers.  Then, even after watching how we looked last year, they were still delusional enough to say it about our current crop of coaching studs....immediately following a 3-9 season.

But pointing this out makes me negative.

Somewhere between the part where he started to type and the part where he hit the enter key

What happened to the wait and see led?  People need to quit judging this staff off of one year. If thats the case nutt was the best coach we have ever had

Gotta feeling most of us will be happy Ash headed to easier pastures at Ohio St.

I wasn't really talking about the coaches, I was referring to the band-wagoneers who diefy whatever coach is wearing the headset at the time.  You know 'em, we all do....'they walk among us'.

Well we did have a pretty good overhaul of staff on the defensive side of the ball.

But not all at once...

Thanks guys - I'm feeling better.

Mostly I get my info on MMQ, focusing on the occasional thread that has substance to it. So I guess my main issue is very little has been shared on MMQ about things heard from coaches, players, and media about Smith.

In other words, I think it was about time for this thread. I appreciate the information!

U gotta watch the uncut interviews after every practice! It's the best info available IMO! I love it and u can totally see an all new excitement level this season from all the coaches and players. It's not just press spinning it that way, they are excited and the confidence level is way up. We are gonna shock a few teams this season. I truly see a bowl berth!
