Ravens rookie WR (and former Maryland Terrapin) Torrey Smith was interrupted mid-interview by yesterday’s earthquake.
Notice he doesn’t waste any time getting the heck out of there.
Torrey Smith needs to keep on having those good pre-game feelings because he absolutely rocked today for the Ravens.
First three NFL catches for first three NFL touchdowns? Meh, no big deal.*
Five catches for 152 yards and 3 touchdowns. I’d say that’s the way to make the most of the chance you had to show you belong out on the field.
Flacco to Smith. TOUCHDOWN.
I could get used to that. And hopefully, I will.
Yeah Ravens!!!!!
*Lies. It’s a huge deal, for Smith and for the Ravens, who haven’t had that kind of deep threat in awhile, if ever.
I’ve been a huge Torrey Smith fan for about a year, since he really started to become a big playmaker for Maryland.
I became even more impressed with him - almost in awe of him, honestly - after I read Eric Prisbell’s phenomenal Washington Post story about Smith’s life last December. (Spoiler alert: It wasn’t easy. You might want to grab tissues.)
I was beyond thrilled when the Baltimore Ravens selected him in the second round of this year’s draft. He was the only player in the entire draft I really wanted the Ravens to get, and I didn’t think it would happen. When the media started reporting that the Ravens were interested in him, I thought it was too good to be true and refused to get my hopes up.
When the Ravens actually picked him, I was ecstatic - for him and for his family, because I’d read the above article and had a little insight on what it took to get to that point, and for the Ravens, because they desperately needed the kind of offensive firepower that we saw against the Rams this weekend.
If I wasn’t a big enough Torrey Smith fan as it was, as a Ravens fan, the 3 awesome TDs would’ve won me over.
It was a great game for the Ravens and the fans - I’m sure the players were as eager as the rest of us to move past the Tennessee debacle ASAP - and it was a great game for Smith in his first start. All in all, a great end to the weekend.
Errrrrrrbody go here and vote for Torrey Smith for NFL Rookie of the Week!!
1st rookie ever to have 3 TD catches in the 1st quarter of a game - and they were his first NFL catches!
You can vote more than once, so go do it!!!
In other news, it’s apparently Torrey Smith Appreciation Week on Sports in Stilettos. Apologies to non-Terps/Ravens/T.Smith fans (I’m not really sorry at all. Dude earned it.)
