Rodney Harrison: I Don't Know Who Anthony Smith Is

Some virtually unknown member of the Steelers decided to open up his yapper and guarantee a victory over the undefeated Patriots this weekend. The guarantee carries less credibility because of the source of the comment -- a sentiment with which Pats safety Rodney Harrison agrees. Here were Harrison's comments as told to The Drive on FOX Sports Radio Wednesday:
I don't even know who the guy is, but obviously he has to be a young guy to come out and say something like that. We have a great deal of respect for Pittsburgh and everything they've done and everything they stand for. When I was a young guy, I never came off talking about things I really didn't know about -- especially a young guy that's been in the league probably a year or two. That's something that he's going to have to deal with, and we're going to do our talking on Sunday.
Seems like a common theme in the NFL lately -- young players running their mouths. First it was Ravens players according to Randy Moss, now a young Steelers safety. I agree with Rodney; you have to be a significant player who has accomplished a lot in the league before you make such brazen claims. Now it's on Smith to back up his comments. Perhaps an interception or two would do the trick, not to mention a victory.
