Good point Goat. I think Smoot will be around for one more year. With Tryon getting better by the reports we're getting and the drafting of Barnes, I think it makes for great competition. Between that and the new pass rush we seem to have, it may bring out the best in him. I certainly hope so. He's a great character and I'm sure his team-mates would miss him but with the competition we now have at that position, his days are probably numbered.
