I would put Smoot on T.O with Sean Taylor punishing him if he catches the ball. Smoot has done an acceptional job at covering big WR's like Toomer and Keyshawn Johnson this year. I believe he is one of the best CB's in the league, so why not put him on the best. I told Smoot at the Fan Appreciation Day that, "this is your year." He replied, " you already know that." He wants to make it to the ProBowl.

In either case you would have to go with Springs. As some have already pointed out Smoot is smaller & these are two of the bigger recievers in the league. In moss's case you could make an arguement that Smoot would be more effective because he's quicker, but I think his height would be exploited. We've all seen the plays, culpepper throws it up for grabs & moss goes up to get it. In owens case it's clearer, Springs physicaly is the better matchup. With all the focus this year on the 5 yard rule I think the smaller corners in the league are at a disadvantage. And we all know that owens is the most physical receiver in the league. Owens along with moss, are also notorious for getting away with pushing off & I think Smoot would have trouble trying to be physical with owens without getting flaged. I also think Smoot matches up better against their 2nd receivers & I think he'd be able to shut them down one on one, allowing Springs to get most of the help in coverage. Bottom line is we have to contain them. They're going to get their receptions and we have to keep their yards after to a minimum.

Before we give these guys too much credit, let's remember Dante Culpepper and Donovan McNabb rush alot of passes under pressure. With the Redskins defensive blitzes, it makes their job a lot more difficult. I still see Smoot on these WR's no matter how big they are because what Darrell Green was able to do for 20 seasons at 5"8, he passed on to Smoot and Bailey. Smoot is one the best solo tacklers on this team. He also doesn't make the mistake a lot of young CB"s make which is play the receiver rather than the ball.

They will most likely switch up. Some for Smoot and some for Springs. Either way Double them up with a Safety and mix in a few zones. The only one I have ever seen shut down Moss is, Darell Green. Everybody says Moss is unstoppable but Green shut him down, period. So it can be done. As far as Terrell containned preasure from blitzes on McNabb will sut that down.

That goes without saying. My point is that you have to make a choice, help or no help.

If you can discuss issues concerning the Redskins like a normal person then no problem, but if you play with fire.............

redsk1 · 10-19-2004, 12:09 PM

I think you have to go w/ Springs and double at times.

Attacking the Skins, for most of us, Is a personal attack.

Especially when he's not bold enough to name his team. I have an idea what team he's rooting for.

I agree VT....there hasn't been anyone able to cover those two straight up man. Will need to double with a safety and punish him early, even if they don't touch the ball lay them out so they bring out the aligator arms!
