Smoot takes a backseat...

We weren't hurting when he wasn't with us last season.
Fair point. I guess what I'm trying to say is his departure is symptomatic of something bigger - i.e the fact that the importance of chemistry and role players is sorely overlooked in this organization.

By the way, where in Connecticut are you from? I was born in Stamford and grew up in Weston. I'm kicking it in Venice beach now though.

I was about to say the same thing. I thought he was adaquate as a cover guy, but he had a little Dieon in him when it came to tackling. GW tried to get him to be physical, and put that shoulder in there, each time he tried he hurt himself. Not a real tough guy in my opinion, he could really talk though.

He sure knocked the shit out of one of our guys when they embarrased us to start this miserable year.
