One of our coaches doesn't want Smoot back?

In one of the other Smoot topics I wrote something similar Matty........ If Smoot is reasonible in his salary requests re-sign him afterall he already knows the system ........but if he wants ridiculous money....Williams can groom some-one else and we have more pressing needs DE, O line, WR etc..........

LP has been wrong so many times in the past, he's lost any credibility with me. I take it as another weak attempt by him to rile up Skins fans.

As for Smoot, I hope he stays but, like with any player, we shouldn't overpay. I think it's pretty clear that Gibbs and the rest of the staff love his work ethic. He's a gamer, and plays through pain, and plays hard. One of the true "Redskins" that Gibbs always talks about. So, I think the front office will work hard to keep him.

I like Smooty but don't think he's an elite CB, William's system has a lot to do with his success as it will with whomever replaces him if he tries to break the bank, I think we have enough talent on the team right now to say we really won't mis a beat without him, signing him would give us a lot of depth if harris is retained.

I read they were offerring Smoot money that would put him in the top 10 of CB's in the league. To me that's more than fair for him. He plays well in Williams system but, talent-wise, I think he is an average to good CB. His committment and willingness to sacrifice his body make him a good (not great) CB. The team should not break the bank on him.

Plus, he does seem to get a LOT of penalties called on him.

I hope he stays 'cause he is such a great player for the fans. Besides, yelling "Smooooooooooooooooooot" at the games is so much damn fun.

I hope that we can find away to retain Smoot this off-season, but I think that that Wilds guy today had a pretty good day for his first game and going against the likes of Min's passing attack!!

Also did anyone notice the one play where Noble pushed the one O-lineman almost right in to Culpepper? That was totally awsome to see him finaly just man handle someone.

Maybe this guy doesn't want Smoot back because he'll demand too much money...Hell we don't need Smoot, we have Greg Williams who can make a great player out of anybody. Look at Walt Harris. And that Wilds guy.

Thats the thing. I freaking love Fred Smoot, he was gonna be my next jesrey purchase, the whole 9 yards. However, if he does want too much money, I feel we can get the production out of the guys we have right now and maybe a low profile FA. I dont think we have to break the bank on someone or waste our pick on Rolle. I would hate to lose smoot, but I dont think its somthing that will kill our team personell wise. I do think his leadership would be missed.

If Smoot is indeed seeking Bailey money then he can walk.

Springs type money is more than fair.

Usually though, you ask for more than you expect right? You ask for Bailey money expecting to get Springs money instead of asking for Springs money and getting stuck with Jimoh money (for example)

what im really concerned about is if we lose smoot, and dont replace him, will Ade Jimoh be nickle back over Wilds?!!?!?!?!?!! if so, smoot is worth 100 million!!

Just wondering, but what is so bad with Jimoh? I mean the guy plays for us pretty good, and if he didn't dont you think that Williams would have let him go by now? Also, I may be wrong, but isnt Jimoh only a 2nd year player? If so the guy is young, and he still has not got cut or sent to the practice squade(SP). So either the guy is able to play or Williams must like keeping him around to challange the other DB's when Jimoh is on the field...
