Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

As I've said before, that play it was very important a completion didnt happen. Smoot was in position, which is good. While I would have loved that to be a pick, knocking it down was a damn good play in itself.

Smoot had some good plays today, and he had some plays that weren't so hot. I really think Smoot will get his swagger back soon.

[quote=SmootSmack;349380]I didn't even realize Springs didn't start today. Crazy. He should always be starting if healthy. I think some people expect Smoot to be better than he really is. He, like Rogers, is a solid #2/#3 CB but he's not elite. Still...he's gotta play better than he did today. A lot of people do. I'll take the win though :)

And do we even have Fisher?[/quote]


no fisher plays for the lions and he dropped it because he was to happy about scoring in his first game back at FedEx and got too excited and he dropped it. 9 out of 10 times he catches that.

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

If Rogers and Springs are healthy I believe they should always be starting. Smoot is good but he's not starting material. I saw a few plays today where he didn't play smart, and when he dropped that pick I was so pissed, that would've been the game right there. He should work on his hands as well.

Agreed! Last year we weren't even close to getting any INTs it seemed. At least Smoot was in position. The potential is definitely there.

But didn't Rogers have 10 dropped INTs last year, or something like that? He was in position a lot last year from what I recall

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

You guys are acting like Rogers played well today. He sucks ass and a huge liability.

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

I agree, I don't think Rogers played well at all today, as for Smoot he played decent I think he will get better down the road. Springs is the only corner that I think played good (from what I saw). Springs had a really nice tackle that stopped them on 3rd.

Hopefully today reminded a lot of people (Redskins fans especially) that Springs and Portis are very very good players and we shouldn't be so quick to cast them aside.

I gotta say though, that PI call on Rogers was pretty lousy

And that's a good thing? 9 times out of 10, Smoot is going to pick that ball of and take it to the house. This just happened to be that one time he didn't. Rogers hasn't proven anything to me at all so far. Smoot has proven himself to be a solid CB, albeit not a #1 CB.

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

Our corners were playing that 10 yard cushion crap again. Did last year teach us anything?

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

^ eh, he had the arm bar but it was NOT catchable so in a sense lousy yes.

Of course it's not a good thing. What I'm saying is our problem last year didn't seem to be being in position to make the INT, it was not capitalizing on the good position.

Rogers and Smoot both need to step up. No question

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

I still wanna know why Springs was not starting. That is a big WTF to me.

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

They played a lot of zone today which is playing into Green's strengths. Plus, very little blitzing which doesn't help. You noticed it in pre-season and again today that there are times when our back seven looks lost in zone coverage. They were much more conservative than I would have expected. Perhaps they are saving it for Philly.

I don't know what gives with Springs. Is he hurt? Is he fueding with Williams? There's no way he's not the #1 corner.

Re: Smooooot Nooooooo
 

I would like to see a lot less zone next week, when we play zone we play it way too loose.
