Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
Smoot was out of position? I can think of at least three distinct plays when got his hand on the ball and broke up several more. Over the last three or four weeks, I can't think of the last time I've seen a Redskin corner play like Smoot has.
Dude has been lights out all the way. |

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
Wow what a thread, Smoot played great last night. OUT OF POSITION! He was sticking like glue to Burress, even Madden made the comment of how well he was doing against him. I think it was the first play of the game where he almost had a pick on a quick slant and then later in the middle of the field he almost got another one.

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
I'm always here, just don't post much...
Couldn't help myself here, though. I did read onlydarksets entire post (again) and it doesn't get any better with re-reading. The post is ridiculous and, in light of Smoot's performance last night, your timing is awful. Both Smoot and Springs did a great job under the circumstances, and to come up with this post the morning after shows serious lack of judgment, to say the least. Dude, don't post for a little while, you've embarrassed yourself enough. |

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
The only knock on Smoot has been his tackling and frequent injuries. This season he's been playing hard and at a high level ... he's one of the emotional leaders on that D from what I can see

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
Smoot has been playing the best football I have ever seen him play these past few weeks. He is really wrapping and making solid tackles on the short passes near the line. That said he is not a pro-bowler but has been a definite asset to the team. And that cruise party on the potomac last weekend was a blast too! Now if this was a torrence thread its another story

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
Honestly, and I'm not just trying to break onlydarksets chops here, I thought Smoot played perhaps his best game of the season last night. He did a great job matched up on Burress and he broke up several passes.

It's like EVERY PASS to Burress he is pushing someone or holding them down. Sure, almost all WRs do it, but not as bad as him.

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
on comcast they were talking about how this has been his best game since coming back. He has been a monster the last few weeks. I think he is playing fantastic right now. I am not saying he is a great player but i am just saying the last 3 weeks have been great.

Re: Fred Smoot - asset, liability, or neither?
smoot's had a year beyond my expectations of him. he's not suppose to be a no. 1 corner, but he's lined up against more than a few top wideouts throughout the year. he had an excellent game last night. no corners ever completely shut down their receiver- the guy on offense usually has the advantage and eventually a corner will bite on a play or two (if he's lucky). smoot has been money this season, especially with all the hits to the secondary.
