Torrey Smith before the game becomes even better after three touchdowns
Before the game Sunday Tweet Torrey Smith - "I have a good feeling about today" - may seem a bit optimistic for a rookie who had never caught a pass in the NFL and had only been thrown at once all season. But it turned out to be right on target, since Smith became the first three career receptions in the first quarter touchdowns in a 37-7 Baltimore Ravens victory over the St. Louis Rams. "I never doubted for a minute," said Smith, who finished with five catches for 152 yards. "I've been playing football forever. I've been making plays for ever." Smith connected with quarterback Joe Flacco for 74 yards at the 12:20 mark, one of 41 yards to 18 yards 3:38 and at 1:48 to give Baltimore a 21-0 lead entering the second quarter . "Torrey was forced to keep his confidence up. Our boys have been riding a month in a row, and they were led by Terrell Suggs, "Ravens coach John Harbaugh of the said." They are a group of brothers on the defensive side. They become resistant that even a little. Torrey fought for it and the last couple of weeks has really been catching the ball in practice. I think he and Joe are starting to tie this together. " Linebacker Ray Lewis said: "It was today, and everyone knew that this man could flat-out run, and the scariest thing to do is give you confidence." And that's what this game seems to have done. Smith could have been a good feeling inside, but felt much better about himself after his extraordinary performance. "To me, that's what I can do," said Smith, a second-round pick of Maryland. "I can not stretch the field. For a game like this, which certainly helps me to know that you can drill down " |
