Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith has yet to face quarterback Peyton Manning during his five-year term in Atlanta. But prior to 2008, Smith has lots of experience going up against the four-time MVP.
As the defensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-07, Smith and his defense faced Manning 10 times. He also saw Manning while he was the defensive line and linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2001 and 2002.
“(I’ve) had a lot of games against Peyton,” Smith said in a conference call on Thursday. “Watching him run the no-huddle (on Sunday night) was reminiscent of having to play against him when I was in Jacksonville.”
