“Steve Smith, for his size, is very, very strong -- physically a strong guy, has strong hands.”

“Steve Smith had a great year, no question. Even more so when you think that every team has it on their checklist to do something about Steve Smith. The other day we gave up a lot of passing yardage to some outstanding receivers. But our No. 1 thing will still be to stop the run. That's where we start.”
Tom Coughlin
“I've requested that Bill Smith oversee the transition and wrap his hands around the program. He's already had several conversations with current players and recruits.”
Jamie Pollard
“Give Carolina credit. They wanted it more than we did. We tried to keep Steve Smith contained. We were unable to do that. He made a couple of big plays.”
Lovie Smith
“They tried to take Steve Smith out of the game, which they did a bit, but that opened up things for other people,”
Jake Delhomme
“I'm all for it. Whoever we can get in there. But if it's still Stephen Davis or Steve Smith, that's fine with us, as long as we have one more point than the other team.”
“[? In a Q&A, Steve Smith got off some good lines. On why he spins the ball on the ground after big catches:] I really have no rhythm, so I can't dance. ... I'm just mad I didn't get more play. ... You know, the quarterback gets all the glory. I just got a box of chicken.”
