Re: Smoot takes a backseat...

ProFootballTalk said the reason was that he isn't physical enough. Strange. Tafkas won't like that. They also have some interesting stuff about Mike Irvin's comments to Dan Patrick.

Scroll down. It was a day or two ago:

ProFootballTalk.com -- The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet



"He doesn't look like he's that type of an athlete. But he is. He is, man. I don't know . . . some brother down in that line somewhere. . . . I don't know who saw what or where, his great-great-great-great-grandma ran over in the 'hood or something went down."
Recognizing the idiocy of Irvin's comments, Dan Patrick said, "Oh, that's the only way he can be a great athlete?"
"That's not the only way, but it's certainly one way," Irvin said. "If great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma pulled one of them studs up out of the barn [and said], 'Come on in here for a second,' you know, and they go out and work in the yard. You know, back in the day."

I learned long ago to only pay attention to Irvin on the Football field.

Now that he is retired he is all but invisible to me.

I hate the line of reasoning he takes. It is followed by ' well just look at all the players in the L? what color are they?'

Well what color are most of the Professors at MIT? What color are most of the scientists at DARPA? Does that mean that we are stupid?

I am a black man and I hate the Irvin Bojangling act.

I think Fred Smoot is a decent player (no better than a #2 CB really) and says some crazy funny stuff, aka smootsmack. But I don't think we're really hurting that much without him. He only appears to be a football God because we let him go. And glorifying ex-Redskins is often the hip thing to do. Why there hasn't been a clamoring for Matt Bowen yet I really don't know

Oh we're hurting. What else would you call having the worst defense in the NFC. I doubt Smoot's departure is the only reason but it's part of a cumulative problem with undervaluing our personell.

We weren't hurting when he wasn't with us last season.

Fair point. I guess what I'm trying to say is his departure is symptomatic of something bigger - i.e the fact that the importance of chemistry and role players is sorely overlooked in this organization.

By the way, where in Connecticut are you from? I was born in Stamford and grew up in Weston. I'm kicking it in Venice beach now though.

That's why I don't get it when people repeatedly insist on this board that we should have kept him (along with Pierce and Clark, who we really should have kept). Smoot has completely flopped in Minnesota. Still I wish him well, he was always one of my favorite Redskins.

What does Minnesota have to do with how he played here? I would take him back in a second.
