The man spins like crazy.

Watching it from the end zone was crazy. He went to my left (his right) and ran along his blocker and then just zipped on by everybody.

Well deserved.

He was awesome Sat.

Rodney was fun to watch Saturday. Great effort, he left it all on the field.

We need a Rondey Ratio.

The thing is: he keeps getting better.

Yep. As good as Brooks, but in different ways. Really coming around as a receiver...

Congratulations to Rodney Smith. He is turning into one hell of a ball carrier. I like having Smith and Brooks on the field at the same time, they are the offenses best two weapons. Mitch would do well to dump the football off to them more often. YAC pads the stats, and can lead to a paying gig playing football.

Well deserved Mr. Smith! Please keep it up as we need you desperately.
