Ludicrous Torrey Smith Stat

[ActualSpamBot]

Though 4 games this season Torrey Smith's 6 catches of at least 25 yards give him as as many or more 25+ catches as 24 Entire NFL Teams.

What a god damn baller.

TBH I was absolutely shocked last year to see Smith constantly get deep.
Teams knew that all he could do was go deep and they still could not stop him even though we had no one else that scared them.

Now he is truly playing awesome.
I don't even think he has dropped a pass.

Torrey is already an elite receiver IMO.

What a god damn baller.

Especially considering his situation with 2 games within a few days.

Great post Spam.

No kidding.

Heard a stat this morning that Flacco has more 25+ yard completions through four games than he had all last year.

He's just another example of a great team first Raven pick who plays like a true Raven. I think he's going to be a star pretty soon, and just another reason why it may be a good idea to draft these raw prospects more often, I think Stephen Hill could be the same for the Jets.

Btw the Ravens don't have a very good history of drafting WR's who work out, that's one area of our draft weakness so to speak, we could only find defensive stud, linemen, and backs. Now it seems like we are doing a good job of QB's and WR's which is awesome.

Sweet.

Can't wait for Week 5. Can't wait for Suggs to come back.

This is what happens when you have a Jacoby Jones opposite Torrey Smith. Great signing and great play by Smith have got this offense looking like we hoped it would since we first saw Flacco's arm strength in '08

First quarter 4:20 to go, Ravens driving after the knockout fumble - Flacco threw a ball to Torrey that ended up behind him as he sprinted downfield on a slight crossing pattern. The man twisted his entire body midair to grab the ball with two hands behind him as he moved away from the ball then held on as he got whacked hard. Nine yard pass, Torrey takes it for a total of 12, first down.

Normal people don't do that. Normal people can't do that.

Dear God I hope doesn't get injured 'cause I think we are all going to look back in a few years and realize we were watching something historic happening.

I like how Mayock said that he saw Torrey at his very first mini camp and he had know idea how to run a route. Look at where he is now. That only comes through incredibly hard work and determination. Torrey Smith is exactly what you want from a football player.

[BcRaven]

Simply put Torrey Smith is Joe's "go-to guy." Add in Boldin (from last night), Pitta and JJ (from last Sunday), and Ray Rice...you've got a really impressive group of receivers... Bc

This. Torrey doesn't get those stats without Flacco.

Torrey's still has noticeable room for growth too, which is pretty damn exciting.

His slant routes are pretty horrible lol. He leans into them like there's a big ass magnet between the hash marks. A good slant move sets up a good post, post-corner, and will be a heavy factor in helping him beat jams or tight man coverage. It will also help him pile up the YAC. If ever he gets his feet and timing together, he will rocket into the top 5 not only stat-wise, but also skill-wise...which for him will be a big deal, just ask Mike Wallace.

And Torrey won't turn 24 until close to the AFCCG.

[BigPlayReceiver]

It works both ways, my man. And you have to account for Jones being a threat, and Pitta drawing bracket coverage in the middle, and the timing of play-action play calling. It's all related.

And how many of them have been of the "dump off to someone in the flat with no defender nearer than 20 yards" variety? Damn few. Joe's really been in bombs-away mode this year.

[Lime in the Coconut]

Torrey's been impressive. Really impressive. I never thought he'd be this good when we drafted him. He definitely can get better too, we just have to hope that we can scheme ways to keep getting him and Q the ball as defenses adjust.

How about Tandon Doss' catch last night too? We also haven't seen much of Thompson or LaQuan and I think they have a lot of ability too. Ed Dickson is another weapon. This offense is stacked.

When I heard that or read that stat, I can't remember which, I took it to be where the ball travelled 25 yards in the air.

[BigPlayReceiver]

When attributed to the QB, it should be "in the air"

Easily the best in-house WR that we've produced so far (historically, we've had to sign or trade for decent WR's).
