Watching Miami Dolphins rookie cornerback Sean Smith this season, you might reasonably assume he is pleased with his progress. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano and defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni certainly have been pleased with Smith as well as fellow rookie CB Vontae Davis.

However, with a likely matchup against another big, physical WR awaiting Smith this week in the Saints' Marques Colston (6-4, 225), it was interesting to hear Smith being somewhat hard on himself this week.

"I haven't been playing as well as I know I can," he said. "For starters, I have yet to get an interception. That's something I take pride in is causing turnovers on defense."

Smith had two picks in the preseason, including ESPN's No. 1 highlight on Sept. 3 at New Orleans (coincidentally enough). That was the one where he reached up with his right hand and tipped the ball to himself as he ran stride for stride with fourth-year man Lance Moore into the end zone.

Since then Smith has six passes defensed, but he has yet to come down with an interception in a game that counts. That drought could come to an end this week against the NFL's No. 1 offense, largely because Drew Brees isn't afraid to throw deep into tight coverage.

"Brees will sometimes take a chance and throw it up," Smith said. "When the ball comes your way, you have to finish. He's going to give his guys a shot. As a secondary, you have to look forward to those situations. You want the ball just as bad as they do."

God I love this guy. He is playing so well, and a pick or two would be so awesome this week.
 
I love to see Smith get another interception esp from one of the best QB to play. That will make a great message from teams to watch out for smith. This man is going to be a pro bowler for years to come.
 
Aside from making interceptions, Sean needs to focus on tackling this week. His man is going to catch a lot of balls, and we don't need those turning into even longer gainers.
 
Well Sean, we need you to do more!!! You`ve been great as a rookie but this week we need your best and turnovers.

Thank you!

There was a couple of passes that brees threw up for his tall recievers to go get against the giants. Sean has a good chance for a pick if bree's does this to him.
 
It was actually Roby he ran stride for stride with and Brunell was QB. A little different story when its Moore and Brees. I think Smith will get his INT though. Thank god we finally have a sizeable CB who can match up against the Fitzgeralds, Mosses, Johnsons and Colstons of the league.
 
I don't know why the lions didn't pick him with the first overall pick. This man will be the best shutdown corner in the league by next year. Nnamdi should learn a thing or two from Smith.
 
Still can't get my head around how some "local to this board" football draft-niks fell over themselves to scrutinize our opening 3 picks... Sheesh........
 
Great to see him so hungry...alot of rookies are content to perform at an NFL level.....Sean wants to perform at a 1st team NFL pro bowl level i like the hunger and aggression i think he gets a pick this week at the very least he gets a few BIG PBU's to stall Saint drives.
 
I'm feeling an interception in this game. We may give up 4 touchdown passes but we are going to intercept Brees at least once.

Like the confidence but come on now the #1 pick in the draft? If that was the case why didnt we select him in the 1st round?
