Pocket$ $traight 08-06-2009, 10:11 PM I love Smoot! He may have lost a step but we are damn lucky to have him as a 3rd or 4th corner. CultBrennan59 08-06-2009, 11:51 PM I dunno which of the two that would make the team, either one of them or none of them. dmek25 08-07-2009, 12:35 AM I love Smoot! He may have lost a step but we are damn lucky to have him as a 3rd or 4th corner. your drinking the kool aid again. the way Smoot played last season, i would be shocked if he made the team. dude couldn't cover me or you skinsfaninok 08-07-2009, 12:45 AM ok guys smoot will make the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GMScud 08-07-2009, 12:54 AM Smoot is the new "toast." He was pretty bad last year, and I fully expect Kevin Barnes to push him for the #3 CB spot. He'll make the team because he's too expensive to cut, but he's WAY more bark than bite at this point. SirClintonPortis 08-07-2009, 01:02 AM Payback for the Seattle playoff game?

I saw every game last year and I don't remember him being a glaring weakness. Shawn Springs used to give up touchdowns against top receivers. Rogers used to give up touchdowns pretty regularly. Our system tends to put corners in make or break spots but I never considered Smoot to be near the liability that Torrence always was. GTripp0012 08-07-2009, 01:51 AM What am I missing on Smoot?

Our system tends to put corners in make or break spots but I never considered Smoot to be near the liability that Torrence always was.An average pass at Fred Smoot (not a completion, an attempt) was worth 8.6 yards and one slip. That ranks him 70 best in the league, and that's the most flattering statistic I have on him. He broke up seven passes last year, which was only 17 fewer than Rogers and 10 fewer than Hall, in about 3/4s the oppertunities. He picked off one pass, which means he's not even offering turnovers to help with his inability to cover. Basically, I think if you watched all 16 games, at some point, you would have thought to yourself "god, this guy does not belong in the NFL anymore." Smoot has now had one good year in the last 4, so I think if he's a surprise cut in camp in order to try to fit a Doug Dutch, or Byron Westbrook, or depending on how things go in New Orleans, maybe even Leigh Torrence, Smoot's career is probably over. He's a guy who had his best years with the Redskins, and I'm thankful for that, but those years were few and far between.
