Fred Smoot Update

TAFKAS:

Even though I would be the first to hail the return to Warpath.net of the one and only "Smootsmack", I have to say that I'd rather have Dre Bly in my DB than Freddy.

Don't know if the Skins could come up with something the Lions would take in exchange for Bly; but if they could, that would give them a cover corner that they have on the roster ONLY if Springs is 100% healthy.

Let's see. Bly or Smoot? If that one gives you pause then you'd probably also pause if given the choice between Antonio Pierce and Brian Urlacher...

That's a simple one. No thanks on SMOOT, lost way to many steps...! There's a reason he's ridin the pine...behind a ROOKIE! BLY/URCH

bly is better, but GW seems to ignore CBs unless they're great tacklers. he passed on smoot and andre dyson to draft carlos rogers because of it, so i think clements is the only real target.

I've heard whispers of a possible return to the Skins for Smoot.

We'll have to wait and see.

My guess is he's on our list of potential targets, but probably a 3rd option at best depending on what happens with the other top corners.

Uh yes we could guarantee him a starting job he is alrady better than carlos rogers who is this close to becoming a bust and springs always hurt and the thought of moving him to safety and with 2 cbs kenny wright and ade jimoh as unrestricted free agents why cant we guarantee him a starting job he should have never left in the first place but JOE GIBBS DIDNT WANT TO PAY HIM MORE THAN SHAWN SPRINGS!!!! even though he is better i dont care whant madden says

Smoot better than Springs?

In what universe?

724Skinsfan · 02-15-2007, 10:53 AM

Underverse.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 02-15-2007, 12:09 PM

in this universe when he played for the skins he was a force the only reason why springs got 5 interceptions in his first season is cause people didnt want to throw to fred smoot he is more explosive more agile and springs has lost a few steps

MTK · 02-15-2007, 12:21 PM

I guess the Vikings must be loaded at corner to have such a star like Smoot riding the bench.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 02-15-2007, 12:26 PM

He's Not A Star Ne More But Neither Is Shawn Springs Who Cant Stay Healthy The Vikings Are In Dismay Look Who Their Starting Qb Is They Dont Know What They Are Doing

I'm starting to worry if you'll keep capitalizing every word in every post. Is this something new for message boards to express yelling since all-caps is frowned upon? You're viewpoints seem okay, but the excess capitalization really detracts from the value of your post.

ok my bad

I would welcome smoot back. Smoot is not a #1 corner, he is a #2. But with Clements possibly coming here, that leaves no space for smoot as I doubt he would sign not having a starting job. However, if by some chance we are out bid on clements, the smoot may be an option. I love the way smoot played here. He played hurt, was a vocal leader in the locker room. The only problem is, i would not want smoot or rogers covering any teams #1 receiver.
