Smoot: Time to sit on the bench.

He also had a tip that Horton reeled in today. Shutdown no. Serviceable? YES

Maybe his back/hip were re-aggrivated.

I'm hoping that's it. He's too young to have lost it.

I saw him give up 3 consecutive 3rd and shorts by giving up too much cushion.
I think he gave up a total of 5 first downs all by giving too much cushion.

Corners get beat and I can live with that but he was playing scared. You have to make them earn a first down.

He did make a great play breaking up the a pass that was intercepted but that was his only solid play.

I just re watched the game and thought he played fairly solid. He did give some cushion but I think it was due to where the safety was playing. Last week Drew Brees had 3td's with an average of over 50yds per td pass. our safeties (landry anyway) were playing deep. Several times I saw Fletcher dropp back 20+ yards in coverage on third downs... which suprised me... colston was out, yes, but they still have speed at that position.

Exactly, he set up that IT. I didn't see anything terrible out of him.

In many ways it was Smoot's interception. Smoot doesn't make the play, neither does Horton.

Smoot is not our best corner. But he is good for a nickle back and we are fortunate to have him on our defense.
