Fred Smoot Thread...
 

It seems Fred Smoot has resurrected his career back the last couple of weeks. He's been playing lights out. Do you guys think Fred will keep evolving or is this just a fluke?

Where do you see Fred Smoot next year and Do you think he's good enough to possibly play the #1 slot?

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

fred's doing pretty great, but Shawn Springs has been a MAJOR factor in the D and is completely underappreciated... I don't really understand that. Springs has been playing as well as any DB in the league, and Smoot is playing very well himself.


I don't think Smoot or Rogers can play that #1 slot, unless you guys want to see TO scoring 5+ td's a game on us twice a year. He tore up our zone and Springs is the only guy who can cover him one on one. I know he was playing when TO burned us for four, but Williams himself said he should've put springs on him and that he thought we could beat them with the zone, which they torched.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

You know, I've learned that corners can be very streaky from one year to the next. I've seen guys bring down 9 picks one year and flop the next. It's really hard to say. I think as long as he stays healthy and keeps that team mentality, he could be good for a few more years to come.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

The last 2 games he's played like a pro bowler, I hope he keeps it up especially if we make the playoffs. Maybe the hammy injury slowed him down?

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

Smoot is having a good year and is a very capable starting CB. Not sure why this debate keeps coming up.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

Do you think its those Fred mot SMACK energy chocolate bars he got? I hear he eats those before every game....lol

I actually tasted them and they are not bad either! I bought them because their website is giving away luxury suite tickets to the dallas home game, but they havent announced the winner yet. (fingers crossed) I wanna see that game and ihope that the 12 bars i bought and the 3 bars i ate will grant me that wish.

Why are you pimping his energy bars so much??

You've mentioned them in almost every post so far.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

cos i liked them and honestly did not expect them to be that good. A lotta folks were saying stuff about them about a week ago, so i tried them and them decided to just let some people know that they are real good. for some reason, i think a lot of folks think they are gross. But i say go taste them and see.

That was my sig for a long time.

Smoot is the KING of smack talk. I love the thick southern accent so it makes it a little hard for people to understand WTF he just said. lol

I assume "water" means Springs and Rogers, making Smoot the #3?

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

I said it once, maybe even twice, but the Skins have 3 number 1 corners and I am thankfull for that.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

smoot is playing the exact same way he did before he left for minnesota. he was coughing up blood and playing with a cracked sterum and still making plays then. I've never doubted him. As for his time and poor play in minnesota, as far as i'm concerned, it never happened and he never left.

Yeah i'm glad he's back. It feels like his intensity and playmaking abilities are unchanged in lots of ways. He was always overshadowed by Champ that he never really got his recognition. I'm actually kind of glad Champ is gone. I always got the vibe that champ was always about champ.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

some guys fit good in some defenses. with Smoot, you get a grade A tackler. and not too shabby a cover guy. im starting to think Smoot is a pretty good team guy, a good guy to have around

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTT

2 interceptions against Dallas....I'm calling it!!

Champ's not looking to happy these days.

If you go to the website for the Fred Smoot Smack Energy Bars you could get the bars there. They are only $15 for 12bars

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

Smoot is good, Springs is better.

The only knock anyone should have with him is his size which causes height matchup issues and creates injury potential.
He is a #2 corner.

Carlos Rodgers on the other hand.....who knows?
I just hope he improves fast because Springs is the man...but the man is expensive and getting old...I cant believe how well these 2 have held up this year.

Kudos to Coach William to having such solid corner depth this year!!
It certainly is a huge difference in our defensive ranking vs last years crappy D.

I read a pretty good article on Smooot. Thought I would share it with you guys.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

I am definitely the biggest Fred Smoot fan and i am going to order more of his Smack Energy bars especially after this victory...i recommend everyone go and order the smack chocolate bars from the Smack Energy bar website.

I watched the game live and i think the redskins played the best i have ever seen them this entire season.

This only makes me a bigger fan of Fred Smoot. I am also a much bigger fan of Santana Moss, Springs and now Todd Collins.

Re: Fred Smoot Thread...
 

I like Smoot and love his intensity, but it just seems like he gets beat on a lot of plays fortunately safety help comes or its a bad throw or a drop.. i hope he can little better in the postseason

I agree. Some of the safety help is by design, but Smoot plays a lot of catchup. However, it's a results-oriented league, and, like you said, he either makes the play or the receiver/QB botches it, so I think it's overlooked.
