When the last kick had been made and the Bears finished celebrating a 23-20 win over Houston in Jim McMahon Jersey the locker room, Roquan Smith made another statement about his contract situation.It came after he made a le s subtle one on the field.Right down to when Smith heaved the football a country mile after his interception, Smith was communicating a me sage to GM Ryan Poles.It did take a camp holdout, three games and a hip injury. But there was no mistaking Smith's big play being like the way Shaq Leonard of Indianapolis plays in this same defensive scheme, and that's one player whose contract he would like to surpa s."It's big time," Smith said. "I've showcased what I can do year in and year out. Not having camp, you know. First two games still working my way in. "But, hey, third game normally feeling (his way around). So I think here on out you can expect some big things."Smith himself said earlier the Roquan Smith Jersey contract talk time is over, so don't expect the Bears to suddenly come around to his way of thinking now.However, coach Matt Eberflus after the game said he anticipates this as a starting point for the rest of Smith's season, just as their linebacker said."I just think he's getting comfortable inthe defense," Eberflus said. "The linebackers played downhill. It's a big difference between going from 3-4 to 4-3. I've had alot of linebackers, because I switched over when I was inDallas and switched over when it went to Indy."They were3-4 going to a 4-3 and what happens, it's different. Youplay off the defensive linemen in front of you a little bitdifferent. And it's more of a speed position, more of adownhill, attacking position rather than a lateral slideposition. I just think he's starting to really feel that. He's starting tofeel that downhill speed Richard Dent Jersey that he can get and it's comingalong. That's happened the three places I've been before."Scroll to ContinueEberflus wasn't quite ready to call it Leonard material, but almost."That to me is getting there, where that position, it's a hot position, and we need production out ofthat and he certainly had a really good game today," Eberflus said.The stat line: 16 tackles, two for lo s and one of those near the goal line, and one interception that decided the game with 1 Mike Singletary Jersey 1/2 minutes left.He stepped in front of Rex Burkhead and caught the pa s from Davis Mills that Bears defensive tackle Angelo Blackson had tipped in the backfield. The only fault to the play was failing to get to the end zone, but Santos took care of this moments later. It actually might have helped that he did it this way because it deprived the Texans of a last chance to tie it.Then Smith got up off the ground and heaved the ball. It was apparent what he had on his mind when he did itthe Bears GM."Then I wonder where that ball went," Smith said about the football that wound up somewhere in the stands. "I just tried to throw it so far to say everything. You know what I mean?"That was the best part, though: Throwing that ball."If it was a not-so-subtle description of his pending free agency status Chicago Bears Jersey after this season or his way of saying the Bears had the chance to pay him earlier and now it will cost them.Then he followed with a le s subtle comment describing where he'll go from here."So I'm always hungry to get better cause, hey, I'm on a one-year deal e sentially," Smith said. "So I'm just trying to do everything I can to do what I need to do."
