Schmitt Out of Luck

SmootSmack · 08-07-2008, 03:49 PM

FB Pete Schmitt was released today (apparently by his own request) and in turn the Redskins have signed former Hokie Safety Justin Hamilton.

I don't know much about Hamilton but I know there are some VT fans on here. So what do you think? camp body or legit threat to Moore and Horton?

Now that is a properly thought out title.

Chris Horton has a spot on the team and I'm anxious to see Moore play. I have to say Hamilton is a camp body. I'm surprised they brought him back. Wasn't he let go to make room for Schweigert? Is Omar Stoutmire still available? I wonder why he hasn't been asked back.

Zorn said Schmitt quit, walked off the field. Guess he felt his chances were pretty futile.

I would say Justin Hamilton is just a camp body. I seriously doubt that he's a threat to any of our safeties. Obviously Horton had an impressive showing against the Colts, and there has been a lot of talk lately about how well Kareem Moore is doing.

Honestly, I wish I could give you positive rep for the thread title.

who the hell quits pro football? wth??? How hard has he worked to get there to quit? wow...

KLHJ2 · 08-07-2008, 11:33 PM

He is a camp body, however necessity might get him placed on the practice squad.

freddyg12 · 08-08-2008, 01:56 PM

We had a thread on him when he was signed earlier.

Hamilton is a good athlete but never seemed to have the edge to play defense & doesn't seem to adjust well in coverage. I'm a Hokie so I had high hopes for him, but after we drafted a couple safeties & seeing Horton the other night, you've got to figure that JH is a longshot & would make it as a special teamer, which he could excel at.

i said this in the other thread on hamilton, i go to tech so im not hating on him for any particular reason other than that he isnt very good. he was a running back and became a safety, he just isnt good. seriously doubt he makes the team

That Guy · 08-08-2008, 02:37 PM

hamilton sucks. an athlete without a position that has some meager talent, but did nothing in college.

Someone who realizes he's never going to make it?

Good riddance to you, Schmitt. I don't care if you didn't think you had a chance, you man up and finish the practice. Clearly, Schmitt doesn't have what it takes to play football.

That Guy · 08-09-2008, 04:43 PM

why the hate? damn.

someone decides struggling for years to make practice squad money during the summer isn't worth the beating and year round work?

good for him i guess. maybe he's got something else lined up and doesn't need the hassle for well below nfl minimum wages.
