"It's very fair to say that," Davis said of Smith being better in coverage and against the run. "I think you saw his athleticism. Again, those guys are thinking a lot. The very first preseason game is always their hardest. They have the most nerves. They have the 'wow' factor. They're in the NFL.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It hit Marcus Smith the same way it does all rookies. No matter how much they prepare, or how high they were drafted, there's still that instant bit of shock in that first game.
"The hard part about the games you don't know how many more reps are left.  How many three-and-outs are going to happen?" he said. "So against New England in practice, we'll definitely be moving the roster around for evaluation purposes."

"But Tom Brady is a guy I grew up watching and idolizing a little bit, because remember I was a quarterback in high school. So, he was one of those guys I always watched,Cheap Football Jerseys," he said.
