Jimmy Smith will Step up Big This Year


I was a huge Jimmy Smith fan when the the ravens drafted him back in 2011. At that time we need a good cover CB. Week 1 of his rookie yr, he suffered a high ankle sprain  before he had a chance to step on the field as a starting CB. That's when Pro bowler Ladarius Webb stepped up and took his job. This past season  Webb suffered a ACL injury that was season ending injury. That when jimmy had a chance to prove to us the fans that he a good CB in the NFL like we was in his days in college in Colorado.  He got burned a lot of times the following week against the Houston Texans. However in the Super Bowl  he made the play that won the game over the 49ners. He made sure that there best WR Mike Crabtree  did not catch the ball. There some controversies if he holding on Crabtree, from what I saw it was a clean defensive play. 

From what I saw in that final moments in the super bowl, I think Jimmy will step up and be our other starter next to Webb. He has matured a lot since his days in High School and in College. Now it time for him to do what the ravens drafted him in the 1st round to do and that to be the starting CB for the Baltimore Ravens.  However if he doesn't step up i think it time to call him a bust and cut ties with him. This should be the year where he should be in entering his prime as NFL CB.
