Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?

I agree. I often wonder about people's understanding of football sometimes. How anyone could think he played anything but well last night if beyond me.

I never said he didn't play well in last night's game. Please read the whole post before starting with the ad hominem attacks. I'm putting the question out there now that we've had Smoot back for (almost) an entire season.

smoot played very well last night. buress was fairly quiet and he was on him all night it seemed.

Honestly, and I'm not just trying to break onlydarksets chops here, I thought Smoot played perhaps his best game of the season last night. He did a great job matched up on Burress and he broke up several passes.

Speaking of Burress, I have to say I haven't seen a receiver offensively interfere that much since Irvin.

It's like EVERY PASS to Burress he is pushing someone or holding them down. Sure, almost all WRs do it, but not as bad as him.

um, did you watch the same game? he shut plex down....i thought smoot played great.

Wow what a thread, Smoot played great last night. OUT OF POSITION! He was sticking like glue to Burress, even Madden made the comment of how well he was doing against him. I think it was the first play of the game where he almost had a pick on a quick slant and then later in the middle of the field he almost got another one.

Blah blah blah. You made a thread questioning how good Smoot is the morning after he shut down one of the NFC's best WR. That makes no sense. He is good enough.

I just wonder when everyone will realize we can't have All-Pros at every spot on the field.

MY GOD - does anyone read the original post?

I'll wait till the offseason to ask.

If anything this thread is just really bad timing.

Blah blah blah.

Very articulate.

For everyone - I'm guessing people feel this is a "pissing on my good feeling" thread. That wasn't my intent, so take that for what it's worth.

I still don't understand the backlash, but I can't argue with democracy. I wouldn't retract anything I posted, but I can see the timing was interpreted as bad. Just don't take it personally.

on comcast they were talking about how this has been his best game since coming back. He has been a monster the last few weeks. I think he is playing fantastic right now. I am not saying he is a great player but i am just saying the last 3 weeks have been great.
