Saints Nation: Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades vs. Panthers

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:01:00 -0500

Below are the player grades for the defense and special teams vs. the Panthers.Will Smith: B+ (2.79) Will Smith was to partly to blame for the big touchdown run DeAngelo Williams had on the second play of the game. He had a clear shot at Williams, but tried to shove him instead of going for his legs/ankles to trip him up. Instead of slowing Williams down, he gave him a little boost to spring free. He made other mistakes against the run and was not at his best as he over pursued the edge allow...

Saints Nation: Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades vs. Falcons

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:01:00 -0500

Below are the grades for the defensive and special team players.Will Smith: A- (2.72) He was awesome and this was arguably his best game of the season. Smith was a constant menace to the Atlanta passing game, repeatedly beating his man around the edge to apply pressure. He finished with 4 tackles, 2 sacks, a defended pass and induced a holding penalty when he was clearly headed for a sack. Honestly, I felt like holding calls could have been made against Smith at least 3 other times. The "...

Saints Nation: Breaking News - Courtney Roby re-signed by Saints

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:34:00 -0500

Saints Nation has been informed by sources that kick returner Courtney Roby has been re-signed to the Saints. Apparently the Saints were unhappy with their coverage units and kick returning (though I thought Meachem was pretty good) and they've decided to bring back Roby to bolster those areas. No word yet on who was released to make room, but it's possible the Saints expect the Smith/Grant suspensions to be enforced today to make room on the roster for 2 spots. Otherwise, we'll w...

Colts Courtney Roby Boosts Chances With Kickoff Return

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:28:55 -0500

Courtney Roby gave the home crowd a run for its money Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. Roby returned a kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts' 27-7 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He is an Indianapolis native and a North Central High School graduate who would be thrilled beyond expression to make the team he grew up idolizing. "I really can't describe it. It would be a feeling like no other, especially me being from Indianapolis," said Roby, who averaged 37.4 yards for his nine kickoff returns during the preseason. "Hopefully I've done enough. "I really have to give credit to my blockers. My job is simple, just hit the crease and make sure they don't have to stay on their blocks long."
