Nobody is touting Smoot as the best corner, but some here ARE touting him as being better than Champ.
I don't recall Smoot getting toasted bad this year, but like I said, we haven't seen Owens or Moss yet. Have we faced a team with a true elite WR yet? I can't name one. We haven't even faced a team that is a threat through the air. Green Bay will be the first good test.

Toomer used to burn Bailey all the time, and as far as I can recall, Smoot/Springs did fine against him. That said, I see your point and they will definitely be tested many times through the rest of the season.

Fair point.
Who was the best reciever Smooty has covered this year? I guess probably Toomer? Toomer did burn Champ last year, but he didn't burn Smoot this year, he's still not an elite reciever though, I don't think G Bay has any elite reciever's, just Favre's ability to make play's which is a good test for a CB regardless.
We play Cincy later this year, should be interesting to see how Chad Johnson fares.

Remember the week before when Chad Johnson was limited to 39 yds receiving by Cleveland's secondary. It was the Pepto Bismol game where he dropped like 6 balls. Bailey is a good CB, but he is extremely overrated. A good example would be the Madden 2005 video game. If you check Bailey's stats, he is stacked. He has 99 speed(the highest possible). I guess if speed kills Bailey then Dallas' Randal Williams could smoke him. He ran one of the fastest recorded 40 times. Bailey really isn't as fast as everyone thinks he is. A big physical receiver can give Bailey nightmares and also they occasional fake.

we'll play chad, TO, and moss... we'll see how we do, but champ doesn't really look like deion in his prime or D green in his prime... he may be the best in the league right now, but i don't really think he's that much better than #2, 3, 4 etc...
