Fred Smoot

maroonandblack30 · 12-08-2008, 02:20 PM

Just heard on the John Thompson show that Smoot was upset after the game because he didn't get much PT. Did anyone hear his comments after the game? What did he say?

Southpaw · 12-08-2008, 02:24 PM

I didn't hear it, but if it's true that he got less playing time, he needs to stop crying. When Amani Toomer just flat out torches you, you're basically a liability.

Smoot needs to get over it. He has only himself to blame for getting beat. I can't imagine how hard it is to see a former pro bowler from Oakland get signed, start ahead of you, and create 3 turnovers in 4 games. LOL :Laughing2

I thought "good corners" could catch a pick in your chest?

If he played half as well as he ran his mouth he would be an All Star.
Smoot - less talk and more field performance.

I love Smoot but you usually don't get replaced unless someone is playing better than you.

Coff · 12-08-2008, 07:07 PM

C'mon, let's cut the guy a break. He's was upset after the loss and said something he probably wants to take back. No one plays with more heart than Smoot.

I saw Smoot run out on the field and be sent back because they put Tryon in. I made this comment yesturday, but everyone was so pissed off that they did not respond.

i would be mad too if Tyron replaced me...

He's an average cornerback who fits in nicely with this secondary. You don't want him full time on a top-tier wideout by any means, but he won't singlehandedly kill you either.

He still pushing those Smoot Energy Bars?

I think its very tough to judge the CB's because we giving theQB's al day to throw the ball. So what might have benn great coverage breaks down when the QB has 5 to 10 seconds to wait for someone to get open. I'm surprised we have done as well as we have with the time giving to the QB.

Nobody wants to see Smoot excel more than I do. But this is not the Fred Smoot of the past. He is visibly slower and either lacks confidence at the line and gives up too much cushion for WRs. He was successful with the bump and run but time and injuries may have caught up with him.

I'm turning my attention to cap analysis again as our playoff chances begin to fade.

Smoot is a candidate for release in the offseason. If we designate him as a Post June 1 cut, we stand to save $2.0 million on next season's cap.

This is dependent upon DeAngelo Hall and whether we resign him, dependent upon what we do with Springs, and it's also dependent upon Justin Tryon's development. But it's not out of the realm of possibility that we send Smoot packing next year.
