Matty, when our pass defense goes from where it was last year to where it is now, don't you think it's a safe assumption that there indeed were some bad moves that were made by this front office?

All one has to do is look at the record of this team over the past few years to see that the system in which this organization handles personnel decisions is seriously flawed.

I'm not denying we have made some bad moves, that's not what my post was about.

I was simply stating that it's funny that a player most of the fans wanted to ride out of town last year is now being called a mistake in hindsight.

Please..though it does look this year like Harris is a stellar nickel corner compared to Rumph and Kenny Wright, he stunk when he played here. He would get owned if he had to cover any #1 or #2 receiver as Rogers has had to this year. Dude sucks!

I always thought the criticism of WH was unjustified. Sure, he wasn't starting material, but as a nickel he played really well here. Plus, you have to accept that every cb gets burned at least a few times a year.
I don't think it was a personnel decision to let him go as much as a cap decision. We had to trim a lot of fat because the cba was ending & no one knew if a new deal would be signed. Thankfully (or not, maybe we'd be better off if we didn't have that cap $ to bring in AA, AC,etc.) there was a new cba, but that came only after we had to cut some guys.
The cap & the end of the old cba also had to do w/us not re-signing Smoot & Pierce. Gibbs & co. knew that cap hell was on the horizon in 06. Basically, all of our overspending caught up w/us & still is impacting the team, as we had to let good players go.

Smoot will always be looked at as a tough loss, everyone liked him, we really should have given him the money.

I agree. That whole "He's not our #1 corner so he wont make more money than Springs." Might have been the dumbest thing I've heard from Gibbs. Lots of players weren't our #1 something, but they certainly made money like it.

As far as Walt Harris, I liked him as a 3rd corner, but I certainly wasnt crying to see him go.

dmek25 · 11-21-2006, 10:37 AM

i think they made smoot a reasonable offer. all you have to do is see how smoot made out against steve smith last year to know he isnt a legit number one. and walt harris was what he was. an ok nickel back that some people around here used as a whipping boy. sure looks a helluva lot better than rumph or wright, doesnt he?

The Zimmermans · 11-21-2006, 10:42 AM

I hope Rumph never sees the field again, he plays like he's mentally retarted, no joke.

I'd bet he could spell retarded though.

c'mon you gotta admit that was funny, don't go SBF on me now

We need to coax Darell Green out of retirement. I bet he can still cover better than all but one of our corners.
