Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

Not a day for the Redskins or even ex Redskins as Smoot and Bailey were burned multiple times today. Pierce was the only notable story of the day and perhaps honorable mention to Hasselbeck getting in the game. Brad Johnson looks to finish out the season in MINN as the starter as it appears Culpepper has MCL damage. In other news ex Redskins coach Norv Turner won an important game for the Raiders today... :vomit-smi

I'm sure that Pierce was just touching himself laying in bed last night to the score...

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

Great for Pierce, he finally has his revenge.

I kinda lost some respect for him how he talked up how he was disrespected by the Skins all week.

If that's what he needed to do to get himself pumped up, fine. But deep down he knows the real deal. The Skins gave him a very fair offer and in the end he jumped ship for a small difference in money. I'm not hating on that, by all means go after the most money you can get, but don't act like the Skins offer was a slap in the face.

Smoot was just totally embarrassed. I'll cut Champ a little slack for being less than 100%, but Smoot just got totally schooled by S. Smith.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

I definitely know what you're talking about. It wasn't like they offered him nothing.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

I wish we had Smoot back. Maybe he couldn't blitz well but he's much better than Harris in coverage, tackling, and durability. Harris is constantly getting run by on these long runs.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

I could care less what Champ Bailey and Fred Smoot did yesterday. All I know is, Champ Bailey’s team won the game and the Vikings are headed nowhere. However badly they did, Walt Harris and Shawn Springs were part of the most bumbling, inept, ill-prepared bunch of buffoons that ever took the field in the history of the National Football League.

Thats why we have Carlos Rogers. He's a much better tackler than Harris, and hits alot harder. Ade Jimoh may even hit harder than Harris.....

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

Harris was horrible yesterday. He got consistantly beat, and the one play (where he was going for the strip rather than the tackle), he was getting pulled around like the metaphoric "bandwagon" of yore.

Here's a question. Why weren't there other tacklers swarming that receiver while Harris was getting dragged ten yards? Harris isn't without blame, but I recall this defense being a little less complacent.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

On SportsCenter this morning, they showed footage of Smoot on Smith, and Smith just flat out schooled him. Steve Smith should have his jock strap bronzed and sent to Smoot...

Yes, our defense couldn't tackle a snowman yesterday. On the Shockey TD, LA went high and whiffed, and the other 2 on the goalline both went high. There isn't a damn player in the league that can bring Shockey down at the shoulders.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

Seemed like everyone was going for strips yesterday instead of wrapping up and making the tackle.

Yesterday was just a debacle on both sides of the ball. Hopefully it will serve as a wake up call. Blowing out the 49ers was probably the worst thing to happen heading in to a game like this.

I agree Harris looked pretty bad yesterday. Misreading routes and overpursuing. It was the worst game I can remember from him, but that goes for most of the team.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

they must have gotten cocky or something. to lose 36-0 in a key nfc east game means you didn't prepare, and didn't show up.

Re: Champ, Smoooot burned!!!
 

Did it occur to anyone that we have three ex Chicago Bears on the right side of our defense? Walt Harris, Philip Daniels, Warick Holdman. none of the three played very well. While Smoot and Champ were beaten like drums yesterday, they are two defensive players that we drafted who departed and are playing for other teams even if it's not very good at times. I feel it's worth noting that unless LaVar starts playing regularly in a starting role, we only have one player we drafted starting on the defense. Sean Taylor.

pierce looked really good yesterday...much better than marshall has looked all season :(
