CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)

now let's trade arch for a hot ham sandwich with cheese

We just need a CB that doesn't get beat every freakin game.... <ROGERS>

I agree, but I think the reason our secondary got beat so much last year was because opposing QBs had all day to throw, and also our secondary had to commit more to stop the run.

Its an upgrade. I'm not unhappy about the signing. With a better pass rush, and better linebacker play it should work out pretty good with Smoot and Rogers, possibly Springs in the mix.

I am certain that the team will pick some CB up, either in FA or the draft, if they trade Springs.

Smoot went to a defense he could not play in... He can play in Williams Defense. He also brings back something our defense lacked last year and that is a little bit of swagger. I like Smoot, he was one of my fav. players and I hated seeing him go.

Thats what I was saying last year and what they said last night or maybe this morning on the NFL network. They where going team by team and most agreed that our O has the players and talent. The D is where they said we needed help and talked about our lack of getting to the QB by all of our D last year was the problem.

He's a bad boy and a big mouth though. Maybe Gibbs will get him to shut up and just play football.

So what number does he get?

Will Taylor give him 21 back? Will my Talyor 36 jersey be back in style?

I will be interested in hearing what he has to say in his press conference. Did he make any comments when leaving that he will have to eat some crow?

It could be early tonight when it comes official.There is also a lot of rumors saying Fletcher is signed.I don't know about the Fletcher rumor,but i believe Smoot is now a Skin.From what i have seen he is in transit right now.So expect it to become official as soon as he gets here.

He's an upgrade to what we already have at least. A starting duo of Rogers and Smoot still makes me nervous though, I really hope we hang on to Springs.


Amen!
